Project: Front End Nose Repair

9/14/13 - Today we started working on the nose section, this area was rusted out pretty bad. When we started we found a CRAP load of bondo and some questionable repairs made by the previous owner.

As you can see, there is a ton of bondo we are trying to get through just to find metal.  We have a replacement piece to replace the area that is marked in the photo so we cut that area out first.

Kind of looks like Lightning McQueen from Cars :)  The piece we cut out was just welded on over the previous rusted area, so the repair the previous owner made was pretty shoddy, and with all the bondo that they used, this repair just didn't hold up. The area to the right of the cutout was pretty rusted also, so we cut a piece from our donor car and the curve fit perfectly with a little tweaking.
