I've never heard of someone that wants rusty photos.

Well, I guess it all depends on whether you want to actually "repair" the rust issue or simply say screw it and cut out the problem. If it's the latter, a grinder w/a zip cut blade will make short work of those fenders BUT that route also opens up the vehicle to worse issues than just a rusty spot. Your budget also factors into it. Post some pics of the problem spot, if u can. I'm in Cloverdale and have 2 PF's so I'm fairly familiar with them and their construction and places to find bits n pieces you may be missing.

 

There is a wealth of info in this forum. Spend some time "searching" in the R50 section b4 throwing random Q's out as the info may already be available in someone's prior post.

 

Cheers, V.

In my opinion as a welder... you don't "repair rust"

I'd have to agree w/you on that-lol. Repairing rust is an oxymoron.
