SLO-030 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Without seeing the size of the holes, its a bit hard. But maybe some fibreglass matting, resin and some of the really fine aluminium mesh they sell in paint shops and remake the section from fibreglass if you can.

greenmac80 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 another option would be to cut another piece of metal the same size as the hole. then using stuff called 'panel glue' tough as nails once on there that bit of metal aint never gonna come off. do this after properly cleaning and treating the area. also brush some 'kill rust' paint or something similar.? this stuff is a moisture curing urethane perfect for preventing rust from ever reforming.

Nostalgia Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I saw this old as video on youtube a while back, I can't find it now but he had wire mesh, like the fly screen stuff, and laced teeth floss through it, poked the mess through the hole(holding onto the floss) then pulled on the floss to pull the mesh back and flush with the metal, then pulled the floss outwards and taped it to the panel on each side of the hole! Then bogged it up as usual over the mesh! The moral behind this story is use flossing stuff :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
