body work
I got rear ended, and $550 from the sh$%-head's insurance company. There is a 1/2 inch space to fill between the body and the tail light. I've got latex foam that expands, latex in a tube, and that blue water pump sealer.
Also I got weather stripping which I am going to use to replace the rubber gaskets.
So what should I use to fill the1/2 gap? Should I just go with bondo, or that body putty that comes in a tube?

You got rear-ended and were given $550? Did you agree to that amount? The car should have gone to a shop to be repaired.
Post pics if you want some good advice, it's hard to imagine what really needs to be done.

The damage wasn't that bad, a professional body shop quoted me $600.
Before other insurance companies offerred to total the car out for $600.
Besides this car is an apartment parking lot rat. Miss matched pealing hood...but handles like a gem!! And it scares the crap out of the pretty car people with high insurance and car loan payments.
I once had a pretty cute little 914, it got vandalized everywhere.

if your going to do it the cheap *** way.....use a heavy body designed body seam sealer from a autobody supplier that can be applied to gaps larger than 1/4 inch. in my opinion...pull it out and repair will fiberglass reinforced body filler. post pics of damage like mentioned above
