Ugh...
Well i took my gas tank out the other day to get it cleaned out.
Once it was out i decided to replace the inner tie rod as the boot looked like it had seen better days.
After that i decided to clean up a bit and found an unwelcome surprise.
Lurking beneath the factory undercoating on the cross panel was a bit of rust - after poking at it I discovered it was more than a bit.
What are my options here? Take body off and replace entire panel or can I get away with a patch?
It looks like this panel has an inner and outer skin.
