When i started to sand the rust spot started to get larger and larger.  The panel was rusting from the back side forward.  So i pulled out the trusty grinder with a cutoff blade and started cutting out the rust.  I then welded in a new piece of metal bent to the same slope of the panel.  Applied a thin layer of bondo, sanded it all smooth, and primed, painted and clearcoated.  End result was pretty good.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_135036-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_135036-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_135036-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_135036-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_142532-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_142532-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_142532-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180826_142532-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144853-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144853-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144853-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144853-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144901-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144901-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144901-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canadiangeek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20180828_144901-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Minivan was starting to rust, I have never done body work before but that&#8217;s not going to stop me from trying!
