Ok, 2 questions - largely I'm trying to sort internet rumour from fact here.
1. I have a weak area around the side turn signal on the front driver's side - I'll try to remember to post pictures, but basically I need to replace material from the wheel arch (right where the trim screws on) and 6 inches forward. It's far enough from anything "structural" that I'm not worried about anything but stopping the propagation of rust.
Can (should) this be repaired by cleaning out the rust and epoxy'ing in a patch? It's hidden behind trim, and I would do the regular bodyfill after creating the patch. I can weld it - but I have to borrow the welding machine, and it's kind of a pita.
2. There are some rust holes in the rear bumper (which I have now removed) - so, same question - this one I'm pretty sure I want to weld a patch in, but is epoxy an option?
