[@jerryweigl4730]

Like so many others who commented, I am impressed by the quality of your workmanship. Well done! I am wondering, though, if there shouldn't have been some drain holes put into the panels for water and leaves and debris that runs off the windshield and down the venting alongside the bottom of the windshield and down to the panels. Those FACTORY holes in the panels become plugged -- they should have been made bigger at the factory -- and are a major cause for the rusting to have occurred in the bottom panel and door opening in the first place. That's my opinion anyway.

[@Autobody.repair.with.ALJWAD]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a wonderful and true comment. I totally agree with you. the holes were so small and they get blocked by time. I made sure to coat the interior section of the rocker panel with primer,undercoating urethane, and cavity wax to prevent any condensation or rust.again,thank you for commenting 🙏🏼

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.

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.

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]

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.
