Hey guys, I recently pulled the fender off to do a bit of painting, well I pulled it off and I see alot of problem areas. 1. two spots under the pass side door hinges, one being a hole being rotted all the way through the side to the kick panel above the computer, the one under the lower hinge isnt that bad it just needs a little help in the form of a mig welder, the support truss that the fender bolts to has a hair line crack, and the part where the factory air box bolts to on the fender skirt is in bad shape, so Im going in a couple days to the pick n pull to get a new fender skirt, I just have to drill out the spot welds and do the same to mine and weld the newer one in. There is a spot inside the truss that goes into the top of the firewall that is rusted through, and tomorrow im going to have to take the heater core and all that out to get to this and make a patch panel to weld it in, adn then at the bottom of the wheel well, behind the pass wheel there was a spot, of rot that I touched and it pocked through to the other side and to my amazement it has like bondo in there as filler from the factory. But Ill take some pics tomorrow and post em up after skule. but how hard is this going to be, Im going to oreillys tomorrow to price some 16 ga. steel to make the patch panels out of, but has anybody ever gone through this? Im thinking of fixing this thing and selling it as a roller and getting a sn95 5.0. IM PISSED!!!

Thanks Josh
