Body filler

Some time before I owned this car, the area behind the rear hatch had been damaged. It was repaired sloppily and looked terrible. So this had to be taken down to bare metal and the wrinkles smoothed with body filler. In the pictures it looks like a lot was needed, but it's actually a pretty thin layer. I would have preferred not to have use even that much, but the existing damage left me few options. All the same, it will look just fine and since quality filler was used it should last the life of the car.
