Reply to "Guesstimate on rust repair?"

Fully welded, but not cleaned up yet. Gap to door is not 100% perfect, but up to normal DeTomaso gaps I think? (It looks a bit worse than it is because the door is slightly open) If I did that patch again, I don't think it would be any better, this is the limit to my skills :-)

But thankfully I have lots of another needed thing: patience. You can't hurry welding

Other patches like in rocker panels where the black stuff will used over, they are made with less accuracy.

So hope this will inspire somebody to start welding instead of spending $$$ to get others to do it. We here in this community do most other things on our cars ourselves.

Don't get me started on painting

I have painted cars myself, but these days I have something better, a friend that's a pro painter, so I don't paint anymore
