Is this rust fixable
The pictures you see show how bad the rust is and would like to know if its fixable by cutting it out and patching it.

Re: Is this rust fixable
Yes it is fixable. What is it like higher up on the lip. You could cut out the rot and put a plate in if the rest of the fender is okay. Have you looked into getting a good used Fender. Might be the easiest option. Would you be able to get one for $40 or $50.

Re: Is this rust fixable
Its not the fender, its the rear quarter
Either way, yes ots fixable. Its not that big of a deal for a bodyshop/guy
