Sanded down the paint and bodywork on the front fender and got a nice size rust hole. A little bit worse than the other side, but handle-able. There were a couple pinholes a bit higher up too.

Cutting out the rot

The gnarled steel.

And the hole

Cut a patch panel to fit. Luckily the edges were still good on the original steel, so the patch was easy to cut in.

Out with the old and in with the new.
