Default Old Project Needs A New Skin

I have been a member for a while but have never had any success with posting a build on here.

I am sure some of you know what this machine in the above pic is, for those who don't...... It is a mill build gage for measuring the depth of bodywork (it uses sonar to measure the depth of bodywork). As I have been told, a new fender with Emt coat will read .8mill or less, collision repair standards are 10-15mill, Rust restoration/classic restoration standards are 20-25mill these are maximum worst case specifications on small areas.
My car was acid dipped and all metal work was done, the car was supposed to have been metal finished........ The mill gage shows different, average reading on my car is 50mill with some areas so deep it can not read them.
Here is some pics to show you the filler and rust issues.

I have been told that the whole car needs to be stripped to bare steel again to fix the above problems, I am not experienced in bodywork, so comments/help from those who know what they are looking at and know how to proceed would be appreciated.
Thanks
