Your garage looks different than last time I was there. Did you move?

very nice! ahh i hate welding in the patch panels! how do you plan on doing yours? i know when i did mine it worked well for my to put the patch behind it and lap it in, it keeps the warping down. and oil can effect too from the heat from welding it along there, and i fiberglassed behind it to keep away from corrosion,
Wow Thats rotted as bad as this hatch I got

I plan on just cutting each panel so the patch panel has about 1" more material. Then I'm going to bend the old panels down so it fits flush, then weld it into place with a bunch of small tacks. Then grind/body filler as needed.
For the sill panels I'm going to drill out the spot welds and re-weld those in.
Each sill was 89 dollars from Majestic Honda and the patch panels were 130 on ebay.

rust bucket or not if they see an intercooler on it it'll get jacked.
