That looks great. If you don't have to do too much it's kinda fun. Get's old when you keep finding more.

Is this the Gulf 914. Go Dino, Go. I can't wait to see that.

Thanks, guys... It was only the one hole one the drivers' side. If I had to do it again, I might just replace the whole sail peice. I don't think it would be much harder and easier to line up!!
Too bad I have to work on the House Saturday so I can go to the PCA stuff on Sunday... such is life!

If you have bubbles in your paint, DON'T mess with 'em unless you're ready to do rust repair. Because that is wht you'll find when you attack the bubble. I used to deceive myself... not anymore. I learned.

Oh ya, BTW, very nice work. Only time I ever tried to weld a repair, it looked like a poorly trained chimp did it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Thanks, guys... it really isnt that bad. I did work in a boat yard for two summers. I got some made GRINDER skillz!
But if you arent ready to cut it out, then you got to leave it alone! You mom was right, if you pick at it, it will get infected!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I've got exactly the same rust problem on both sides that the PO attempted to repair. I'll have to cut it out and do what you did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

The factory, in it's infinite wisdom, filled the area with foam and covered that with a sealer.

After a few years the sealer delaminates from a small area (at first) of the bodywork and lets moisture into the foam. The foam holds onto the moisture and creates a perfect environment for iron oxide formation.

Most of the typical rust prone areas on our cars are where moisture resides after the undercoating or body schutz fails.

Wow...........It must be drivers side rust bubble week! I just finished ice picking the bubble, cutting out the affected area and butt welding in a patch.

Your repair looks very good, you're lucky you didn't have to go into the handle recess area like I did. Thank God for MIG, if you torch this area (or TIG) you'll have to deal with the brass the factory used in the area around the vent hole. With MIG it never got hot enough to disturb the brass.

Since we're playing I'll show mine if you show me your's, here's mine>>>>>>
