    and like i said before she was a DAMN good deal, a little bit of body work doesnt scare me
    curious how much they quoted you for under the gas tank. i need mine done eventually. also incude what they are doing for that price, obviously you need new metal but are they welding new metal on or glueing it on? and does it include priming, sanding, filler and paint?

    Unless a panel is rusted through, you do not need new metal.

    And holy ****, glue? Damn if they glued a piece of metal to my car versus welding it, I'd **** bricks and merk them all... with lasers.

    Under her gas tank looks fine, some sanding, then depending how deep it is, filler, then sand prime and paint, it'll be fine.

    This is coming through from the back side. "Fixing" this the way you mentioned will result in a temporary fix only, cosmetically. Without cutting all the rusted metal out and welding new in, it will come back in a short time period.
