Well as some of you might remember I bought a Ford Tempo mostly before it was cheap - $50. Well some junkyard parts, cleaning and some dirt cheap rust repair I'm now $80 total into it.
the rust hole
Canadian Tire wanted $9 some for a flat piece of metal. Hmmm that is almost 20% of my purchase price - won't do. Found a scrapped furnace and this access panel provided the metal for free.
Repair panel welded in and bondoed over - then primed. Not a good job but its only a $50 car. Oddly the primer is very close in colour to the paint.
Painted. Not great but good enough to stop it rusting and now its structurally solid.
Weather Strip glued on
yeah I know the rear tire is on its way to flat.
Cleaned the interior - its was filthy with dog hair everywhere and sticky surfaces. Worn but clean now.

cleaned lightly
and here it sits at $80 all in
