I didn't know it would be this bad going in, only saw a few pictures before the car was delivered. It looked rough in the pics but I had no idea that every piece of metal around the bottom 6" would have to be replaced. Definitely no way to estimate the time involved when it's this bad, especially since the original panels are so far gone that making accurate patterns is very difficult.
