I was working on my very rusty 2003 Honda Pilot when I found a big hole in one of the inner rear panels. The location of the hole meant I wasn’t going to be able to use my welder for the fix. So I tried this alternative method of attaching metal patches and it worked great.
I hope you’re able to use this information to fix your own vehicle. It’s really not that difficult, and it can be fun.

This gives me confidence and inspiration to take on the rust that's eating my rear QPs on my 95 integra. I have tig welder but I don't trust my ability to weld yet. And the integra is just a daily so i dont care how it comes out. Thanks! I'll be doing this in the next few weeks!
Hey Eric, I'd love to see a series of videos of you fixing up a Honda Fit 🙂
Another product for panel bond is Evercoat Maxim Panel bond adhesive and it just use a regular caulking gun, just make sure to buy a quality caulking gun. You could even use JB WELD for small repairs. 👍
I ended up rebuilding the bottom of the fender on the camry im trying to fix up. I used sheet metal thatvwas the same thickness as the fender, made my bends, shaped and formed it, and then rivited it on and painted it. I got that thing fitting so well that the panel gap from the fender to the door is pretty much perfect.
well now I know how I'm gonna stick the bonnet hinges back onto my '76 Land Rover…
I don't suggest tin snips for bending reasons. But if you have a way to flatten it back out…
useful info, thanks!
It will Rust, warte of time and money.
New Zealand would learn alot from you…please come here one day..
