Newspaper & bog used to be used in the secondhand car trade in the UK way back.
One dealer got busted because of the date on the paper, claimed he didn't do it but the date gave the game away.
I purchased a Hillman Imp that had the holes stuffed with wire wool then bogged over, wire wool rusts like crazy when wet. Had to remove it all and start again.
Have seen lots of similar repairs, duct tape on the inside then bogged over. They used to sell expanded aluminium that you bogged to the back of the hole then skimmed over with more bog.
