Start over is all you can do but not going to happen.
Just like an old car with rust all over and people want a cheap repair and then add way more horse power than the car from new could handle.
Rusty frame or rotted boards we both are in the same boat. Fix it the best we can for the money.

Reminds me of the 1st gen camero I got stuck with. The manager Is good at spreading the **** work between the repairers and you usually know when it’s your turn. Same with the train wreck collision jobs. Anyway, this Camero. Complete repaint and it shows up with patch panel rear quarters. Okay but the inners are gone too. Nope, can’t afford inners. WHAT??? Boss says “do what you can”.
Hmmm. So I glued what was left of the inner to the new outer panels.
Now, the piece of **** looks really good and all of the sudden the owner has enough money to pay to have $1500 worth of “real”smoke“ hand painted on the front fenders.
Friggin guy painting the smoke made way more money per hour than I did. I’m still pissed off And that was 15 years ago.
