what did you use?? new metal or FG??? looking like a cutout-line for metal, but I dunno...
do you have more pics of the process??
I'm looking at welding new sheet in the next little while and wouldn't mind some advice from somone who knows what they are doing!

well first off i cut a peice form a integra HB , kinds fits but i have alot more puddy work to do , first off u scrape/pick off all the rust that will some off then the usual make a line outside the rust area , then cut a small hoel and keep grinding and cutting until the peice is fit then tak weld then check if position is good and then weld in grind smooth then bondo, i make it sound easy but anything with body work isnt , and right now atm im spraying my new bumper that i picked off a gold HB in PA soon that will replace the busted up one
