        Scrape away the loose scale and hose it down with Ospho.

              You'd need to cut away material until you got into solid metal and then weld in a patch. Either that or completely replace both panels. Not worth the effort imo. Treat it and call it good.

                Damn that looks bad. It's gonna have to get cut out. This video shows how to do it proper - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xs6W3RK5TA
