I Just Cant Win

so i started stripping down the body so i could get a good coat of prime/sealer down to paint the car. wanted to drive it this summer but keep finding some PO secrets and im not liking it. first is was the t-top bar being jb welded to the body. then a big dent behind the rear wheel(covered in bondo, but fixable) know i have this nasty thing by the door.
thats only half the car stripped so far!!!

any suggestions on getting this fixed? more pics when i get home if needed

Grind it all out, and use a pin welder to pull the panel out if you can't get to the back side to bring that dent out. You really don't want that much filler on your panel.

Good news is, you found it, your fixing it right now Otherwise that would have cracked on you after you got your shiny new paint.

Good luck!
