It has been somewhat labor intensive but I am mostly retired so we have more time than money.
Everything I do goes through an intensive cost benifiet analysis.

So far we are into this car for only $1100. Pretty good for how well it is performing.

That foam techinique has been around here for many years, I think it is actually required for rust hole repairs in Pennsylvania.
They use a lot of salt on the roads in the winter and it rots out the thin metal in the new cars pretty quickly. It is as bad and maybe worse that living near the ocean
