I got a 2010 ford fusion with same exact issue. Can’t afford a body shop but I believe mechanically skilled enough to put a good band aid on it so to speak 😂. What’s the best way? I was thinking of riveting a piece of metal or even buy a cheap flex welder and then do the rest of the steps you did. Any advice helps. I know this isn’t a permanent solution I just need the car for a couple more months.

At a meager $65/hr x 17hrs = $1105, plus (modestly) $200 in paints, $50 supplies, $75 materials = $325 x 25% for overhead = $406.25 @ $1511.25 + tax

On my Chevy van big rust on lower under doors rocker panels I got some ABS black plastic 6 in and ran it through a table saw cut it in half. Two pieces the length from tire to tire. Drilled out resessed holes in top and Screwed in self tappers.. Black Caulk the top. Underneath I bent 5 bolts connected to anything. It's ugly Rusty mess but it worked and it will never rust there again. Oh I forgot I used old engine oil in a spray bottle mixed with some paint thinner and sprayed all the underneath before I started. For other projects, If you want free metal just find a commercial metal shop dumpster. If you get lucky you'll find the primed and painted with the plastic film overlay.

Drill a drainhole in the inner section if possible spotweld lowwerside if not then drill 8mm holes before you put it on the car and if done correct welding you don't need to put fiberglass on the panel and wax the inside after painting
@Autobody.repair.with.ALJWAD Жыл бұрын
I made sure to drill a drain hole, the welds done correctly but I plug welded because there is no spot weld machine in the shop also, I sprayed cavity wax inside the panel using a 360° spray tip.the reason I put fiber glass is because the panel I received was defective so I had to re-fabricate the panel and that caused deep dings and hammer prints.i couldn't show every step of the repair process because of the length of the video(17 hours). I had to remove some important content to make the video less then 10 minutes.also,the low quality of the camera of my phone played a bad role too. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and i am always grateful to read any valuable information that makes the job better.thank you for supporting the channel. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
