Hidden rear-end damage!

Moving around to the back, after a closer inspection, I found the whole rear of the car has had body "repairs".  I stripped off some of the loose paint and bondo to get a better idea of what I'm dealing with. Basically, the entire rear panel is sculpted out of bondo up to 1/4" thick or more. The car was bumped in the rear at some point. There's no point trying to strip this any further. The whole lot will need cutting out and replaced. The hatch will need to be replaced as well.
