rust holes in the wheel wells

how hard is it to repair the wheel wells, is it even worth it in a 2.8 anyway.

well, wheel wells you cant see that good so rivit some sheet metal in there to cover the holes and put that undercoating stuff on. Just a cheap idea.

The right way would be to weld new metal in, but since its probably a daily driver and not a sshow car try the above idea.

Or you could just use por-15 on the rust, and patch the hole with fiberglass.:lala:
