Ugh, trash it. That's a really bad spot to have rust in, you will never totally get rid of it, it will keep coming back like a bad cold. That's the lowest part on the hood, and where the water gathers, so most tend to rust out there.

yay time for a fiberglass replacement? Basically can it be fixed....probably, it would just involve cutting out all of the rusted areas and replacing it with metal for reenforcement. But in the end youd probably just be better off replacing it if you can afford to.

It would be cheaper and easier to buy a new one. Although if you have a welder you can grind out all the rust and weld in and ahape some new metal in those space. Time consuming but if money is tight then thatll work. But i agree with buying one.
