What I thought was surface rust Nightmare!!

The other day I happened to notice a small spot of rust in the rear driver side fender well. It was about the size of a half dollar so figure time to check it out. I pulled back the carpet and found a nice lovely surprise.



Decided to just cut out as much as I can.


Tell me what think and this is my first time ever doing this so if you have any tips that would be great Thanks.

I can't really tell much from the size of the pictures, but were you able to get all of the rust? If you didn't, you will see it again! Were you able to weld in a patch, yet?

Yeah sorry bout the pic size. I got most of the rust but in the tight spaces i still have a few spots to get. Maybe tomorrow I can get to it and start on making a patch for it all.
