Hello! I want to say thanks in advance for all the experience and wisdom on this website! Already it has been a vast help.
I just finished ripping out the interior of my 2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500. I bought it a week ago and looking to build a winterized home on wheels. After ripping up the floor I found some rust near the tailgate. It's actually rusted right through.
The question I have is: what would you guys recommend? Should I grind out the rust, reinforce with fiberglass or something else, seal and paint it? Or should I get a patch panel, cut out what I can and weld in the patch? I have no welding experience, but I live on an airport and the mechanic here said he would help me out for $20 an hour.
If I did that, any leads on patch panels?
Thanks!
