I have seen "restored" cars coming from US with bondo the same way. They normaly use some newspaper in the holes and pour in the bondo.

One was a mching numbers big block Cuda wich suposedly was newly restored. That car looked good, but after a year a lot of rust emerged. The owner took it all a part and acid dipped the shell. When coming up from the tank it was pinholes in the whole body, even the roof and C-pillars...
