Be kind guys. This is some real redneck fix it quick and cheap work. It started because I refuse to pay an inflated price for newer, and $35-$4k for a bondo / fiberglass job from a local body shop is not acceptable. So, here's my effort to get through 1 or 2 more inspections literally as cheaply as possible.
It's also a nice little side hobby for me at the moment.
So here's what I'm contending with - I went to work knocking out loose rust and metal with a mallet, then tried to clean up a bit with a cutting tool.
These are just for starters btw, not going to bother posting it all
Part of the fix: yes my workshop is a mess lol
Not in the photos, but I had to leave enough metal (it's that bad) for the rivets, epoxy and adhesive to grip.
I did have to take some metal off the quarter panel for a proper (and easy) fit.
