Hello to my friends in the Northeast and anywhere else with salted roads in the winter.
Bought a 2000 4L TJ Sport last year that’s in mostly great condition. It spent most of its early days in FL, but has spent some amount of time up North with the previous owner. Been tackling some minor rust spots but found a more significant area under the passenger door on the body the other day. Pics attached.
I was poking around and the bottom piece just crumbed. I removed as much of the rusted metal as possible.
Looks like it exposed a cavity in the tub. I grinned out as much of the rust as possible with a wire brush and Dremel. Then cover all surfaces with Coriseal.
Question: how best to seal
The area back up. I’ve not welded before and was wondering if a high strength Bondo might work over a mesh plate locked in place. Thoughts and recs?
