Hey guys! I'm looking to clean up some shoddy bondo and body work the previous owner had done. To get the bondo off and down to sheetmetal, what tool would you suggest? I'm looking to buy an electric hand grinder, but am not sure about what speeds I should be looking for or what other requirements I should have. I want to save the sheetmetal but clean off the bondo to get a good look at what I need to fix. (The previous owner riveted a patch in for each of the sail panels, then bondo'd over it)
So what pads/abrasives should I use as well? This is my first body repair.
