Bodybuilding

So, I bought a 1994 Toyota truck from a neighbor- the reasons for which are a longer story that I don't need to post here.  One of the issues with the truck was a significant amount of body rust.  I decided there's no way that I'm likely to really repair all of the rust, but I needed to fix a couple of the most gaping holes.  So I learned to do a little bodywork!

 This is what it looked like when I started.  Not a lot of fender left! 

 I cut it back to metal that I could work with...  You can see below the piece of utility shelf that is about to become donor steel for a new fender. 

Cut, bent, shaped and now welded in place, a new fender.

Then some bondo over the seam, sanded, painted, and it doesn't look "good as new" but at least that part looks like pickup truck!  Fun to learn a bit about auto-body, even though this one's not really pretty!
