As you can see in the first picture, the previous owner had made a very crude repair. I started grinding hoping to salvage some of it, but it became obvious very quickly that I needed to remove it all. As with the other side, after removing all the rust with a wire wheel. I primered the entire bottom with Dupli-Color primer that chemically turns rust into primer. I taped the hole from the underside and generously applied fiberglass reinforced bondo. After filing and sanding it down I applied a coat of normal bondo, sanded and filed it down and applied a second thin coat of bondo. After final sanding the bondo it was primed and final painted.
