Cut the majority of the rust out now I'm gonna grind whatever surface rust is on the pans then paint. Replacement panel should come soon.

I know there's only so much you can do but try to chop the edges of the rust as best you can. The more you leave in there, the more it'll start again.

Also get a grinding or flappy wheel in there and clean up then prep the frame where your repair will sit.

If you dig deep enough you might find gold.

Who am I kidding, probably some more rust.
