This escalated quickly! 1.8 is out, getting ready ready for the 2056 to go in.

I will start to clean up the engine bay and the underside of the car to prep for the new motor.]

You can just mix up some fiberglass resin and cloth to cover that hole. Pretty easy fix. Make it look like it was never there. Cost you an afternoon and probably 50 bucks in materials. They make a flattening agent that you can add to the clear coat that will make it match the rest of your ground effects.

Don’t take this the wrong way but that is some classic DAPO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) said in the kindest most loving way I know how (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Better off to leave the hell hole as-is and let any water and acid continue to easily drain out of that hellhole area.

Fiberglass just traps moisture underneath and the rust continues and even accelerates . . . Ask me how I know about DAPOs usng fiberglass to repair rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
