I’ve reached the light at the end of the tunnel on my rust repair journey. Over the week I replaced the lower driver’s side rear 1/4 window sill with new metal. I used a technique coined by YouTuber, Fitzee called butt & cut. Some of y’all have probably seen his videos. 

All that’s left to do is epoxy the exposed metal and then flip my car around so I can begin installing the passenger side flares. 

Original metal with lots of pitted rust and pinholes. 🤮

New patch panel being tacked in. 

Finished patch replacement. I’ll have to hammer and dolly some areas and finish with body filler, but no more rust!
