The compete picture process of repairing rust on my 01 Ranger. As I got into the project I realized I was going to have to repair more than just rust. The front bumper and valance was rock chipped. Valance had some scrapes, nothing major just normal ware and tear. I took pics of the process so far and will finish tomorrow.

Finished product
The whole process took a little longer than expected because I ended painting both valance and bumper. I put about 17hrs worth of work in. But it was well worth the time and came out looking great.
