Some more pics of the project

Here you can see the passenger side rust, and in the 2nd picture, the clearcoat flaking on the hood. You also get a nice shot of the dent on the passenger side door.

Don't give up.

You'll hate me for saying this... But grind it down. Take it to the bare metal. Make that a nice, clean, square area. Then primer it and begin looking for a donor rocker panel of that area. Cut to shape, weld in place, zinc coat, primer, and paint.

Cancer cured

I don't hate you man, that is what is being done as we speak.

There is no previous repair on the car (unless you guys are seeing something I am not), it was just left to rot...very sad.

I will post pics when it is back from the body guy.
