Can you weld?
POR 15 will stop that rust
With layers of fiberglass mesh you can fix small holes
when you do everything correct people arent sure youve done anything at all (futurama)

Yes I can weld. I do all my own stuff. It's Cheaper. Metal to metal is better. It's not as hard as you would think. Lot's of practice :D

Can anyone spot a big problem here?

FYI it just passed a state inspection two months prior?
