underneath the side skirt you should have seen the giant rust hunks that came out.


i cleaned that up with a screwdriver and wire brush, then sprayed rust-oleum stuff on it. the clips to hold it up were broken, and we dont plan to take it off again so we put a bit of construction glue stuff in there and re-attached it. duct tape is there untill it dries. w



some rust on the side. i didnt want to take this down to the rust and take all that paint off, i think it would look worse. plus i dont have any touch-up paint. so i jsut sprayed this with the clear rustoleum.



speaks for itself... i am planning on putting some sheet metal on the inside for now


the fender was cracked through when we bought it, so we took a license plate, glued it to the back and put sheet metal screws into the license plate.
works for now
