Got the truck up on stands for the long weekend to do some work I've put off, cleaning the minor surface rust on her underside, spraying, and oil undercoating as well as regular maintenance. When I pulled the front mudflaps to allow ease of access, I discovered a gnarly hole in the door frame corner that was hidden:
As well as a crumbling edge behind the fender flare:
I intend to clean them up and coat to prevent growth as best as I can - the truck can't stay garaged where it is indefinitely.
Having never needed any body work done on a vehicle, how bad is it? A pretty expensive repair to do properly (not worried about perfect but need this truck to last)? Any ideas for a quick solution while I sort out the best options?
Thanks
