It's finally time to take on the last "DAPO" thing I've found so far on the body -- the hole in the passenger-side latch panel.
Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the rust holes inside the DAPO-hole all welded up. It's done, but you'll just have to trust me that I did it.
I was able to buy a patch piece cut out of a donor car. Here's a pic of it trimmed to fit.
I bead-blasted the patch and painted the backside to protect it. Then, I cleaned the metal around the hole and tacked the patch in place.
In the next update (whenever that might be), I'll show the second half of patching the hole -- welding, grinding, filling and painting.
