So i was bored gf was sleeping so i decided to get rid of that foam pos... when i was taking it off i was like OMG soo much rust chunks! but i was very happy to see that it was only the pos wing. one thing tho is i dont know how to get rid of the stupid sticky stuff and how to fill the holes :P my dad is away and im kinda do it yourself but know nothing kinda guy. so if anyone could tell me i would be a happy camper.

to fill the holes properly they need to be welded up. u cut out little pieces to fit and then weld and do body work then prime and paint. mineral spirits might help get the sticky stuff off

yeah bondo can work on the little holes. thats how alot of body shops do it when they drill holes and pull dents out. i prefer a stud gun. u can use on the big holes but its a shoddy way of doing it. it will look like crap and when you paint over it chances are it will ring out and youll see it. bondo is porous and moisture can soak into the bondo creating rust overtime.

Weld plates to the underside of the holes, cover top with bondo, sand, prime, paint.

just please,please don't use BONDO brand filler,most body work people say bondo but it isn't really meaning as in the brand "bondo"....use evercoat brand filler or at the least use napa brand filler.......I found a good one made by them that is resin based but has talc in it like evercoat brand called CUZ.......please paint afterwars shortly so it doesn't absorb water and swell.
