Help!:eek:
Repairing some rust on the rear wheel fender lip (for the third time - that tells you how good I am with body work). The rust has eaten through both the outer fender sheet metal as well as the inner wheel well at the lower edge of the fender over the wheel. The hole is currently about 1/2" wide by about 7" long.
Here's the question - did Nissan put some kind of material between the inner and outer sheetmetal at the fender lip?
I am digging out some kind of material that is not rust and not metal. If it's supposed to be there, I don't want to keep digging.
Help!:eek:

i feel your pain. i tried sanding with a rotory too, rust disolver, rustoleum primer and paint --many coats and the rust comes back.

the old real way is cut out bad metal and put new metal in
