Todays work was to finish the inside part of the channel, and tackle either the front wheel well or the rear wheel well.
This patch looks a little “hack” but it will all be hidden.
The front wheel well was my next project. I started cutting and it didn’t seem to stop. At some point welding patches is a losing battle and it become easier to replace the entire panel. I think this is one of them.
To get to the rust I had to grind off all the welds holding in the hood release.
So I stopped working up front and moved to the back. Not much more success back there. I started by trying to remove the plate that holds the rear body mount (that was hacked already).
The metal behind the plate is also bad, I need to do some research to figure out if there is a panel I can buy that will fix this part and the rear bumper mount (which is toast also).
If I knew then what I know now, this car should have been cut up and sold as parts, this thing is a disaster.
