Love to. I'll do whatever you like. I think welding them all up would be the coolest option, but that Toyota steel is so thin that there's going to be some plinking to do to get the panels back into shape after welding.

Back to life.
Is it safe to assume that taking the quick route of using aluminum tape to cover the holes would be gambling that nothing pokes the holes? Would it take much effort at all to puncture the tape?
Also, would the tape be visible if you use normal paint and not some kind of rhino-liner type paint? My gut says it would...

I was searching around for parts numbers for the clips to repair this back like new.
I'd have to imagine scoring a lucky hit on a tiny hole would be unlikely, but that tape is pretty thin.
