Dont you hate when...

when you start a project with good intentions, and everything ends up taking 10x longer then it was supposed to, and being more difficult then it looked.. and you end up just doing a hack job and calling it that?? heh
well i finally cut out the rust in my wheel well and patched it, but it was my first time with the mig welder, and i had serious gaps everywhere
i had to make 2 peices because i couldnt get 1 peice into the shape i needed... im not that strong or patient :P




yes thats a big gap in the top left corner, theres a whole lot of silicone in there now ;0
couldnt find any seam sealer anywhere... oh well
im done though, the other side was painted and finished off with lots of rubberized undercoating... good for another couple years i guess :P
and those nasty looking holes on the left side were from the seat belt bracket.. it did not want to let go, i finally got mad and just drilled big holes and still missed.. those spot welds are serious
