Did a little something last night:

Namely started my race against time to get my rust cut out and fixed before it gets too cold. I have a little bit of a mess to get sorted.

I’m hoping to get it patched in and in some good primer before the cold comes back.

Got the driver’s side patches tacked in:

The back one laid in about perfectly, just needs a quick grind, then a coat of glass, then get filled and reprimed. The door sill one is going to need some work, but it should go pretty well once I get filling on it.

The van goes in for exhaust tonight after work, so I’ll be on hold til Friday night now, but hopefully this weekend I can get the other side cut out and get the new metal tacked in:

Went to work on the passenger side last night:

Got the rust all cut out, hit everything inside with POR15, then got the new panel tacked in. Sorry about the pics, I didn’t get home til 6 last night.

Both sides are now ready to begin fill work now.

Update: Better Pics

Got fill work to do, but it’s not rust anymore ;)

I like this. I regret not learning how to weld  when I had the chance - highly doubt I will at this point

It’s not terrible to learn.

I did it for years at my old job, so it’s like 2nd nature to me at this point, but I’ve taught many people how to weld.

I suspect I’ll never buy the equipment. Had the opportunity to learn in high school in class or from my father as he has the equipment, but I don’t get home much anymore.
