rust repair

Mother nature has added some extra holes in my car that need to be plugged. These are the front right & left lower corners. As you can see the previous owner put a band aid on them for me.

I purchased this front clip from a forum member here. I want to avoid all the structural stuff like bumper brackets and the lower control arm mounts but not quite sure after that.

Agreed but the fact that you just posted is promising

If you plan on cutting your car in the same that clip was cut, and welding the new clip on, that would likely be a really bad idea. You need to peel the onion, as it were, and stagger the joins; they cannot all be in the same plane. Likely that’s super obvious.

Best of luck, John
