I hate rust repair - TR8 up-date
Well, I got a small patch in and though I was cruising right along. After spending about 1.5 hours on the "final" bigger patch I realized that I was going to weld it on metal that wasn't as solid as I hope.
So after digging around that I found that there is a hollow space under the floor, and had to remove the metal over that section to let in the patch properly....
Could be much worse I guess, but this is really humbling.
(the welds on the smaller patch are going to be re-done, just tacking in place for now)
