Bodywork Without Welding
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.
