[CFSapper]

ok well i was cleaning up the rear tire well area with a grinder and descovered that a part of the driver rear tire fenderish area has a bit of rust so i started grining it off to diescover this:aigo:
help:1zhelp:

so how do i fix this weld it fill it with foom or cover it with duct tape

 

[Justin727]

cut out and weld a fresh sheet of sheet metal in its place.

 

[CFSapper]

i was afraid you would say. I guess I should find out how mush area the rust covers then.

Mig?

That is a structural part of the unibody, be sure you get if fixed right.

my welding skills r diecent but no were near good enought i guess im going to have to get a shop to do this

 

[Justin727]

[CFSapper]

ok thx guys

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

my welding skills r diecent but no were near good enough i guess I'm going to have to get a shop to do this

honestly, do not go to a shop unless you know they are really good at body work. I say this because a shop will more times then not to a job that would be similar to what you are doing. Speaking of which thanks god i have my hole in the center of the wheel well, im fixing that in spring with my new welder

 

[mattjk]

if you feel confident enough to weld, go to a junk yard and cut out a clean section. then transfer it into your car.

hmm ill see what i can do theres a place here in the wack that does really good work but i dont know if the can do welding work

 

[adampecush]

here is what I did...
before:

after:

keep in mind that I had the quarter panels completely removed, as well, i bought new fender wells. At any rate, find out how much rust there actually is before getting anything done about it. Mine was quite a bit more rusted than yours looks like though
