If its the protective strip then yeah thats normal, just there to proctect a vulnerable piece of the car from scrapes or chips in paint work! --------------------  |

The Rust needs to be sanded/grinded off. You can then put primer over it to keep it from rusting again untill you can get it painted. If you have to actualy cut thru it, i'd reccomend using a layre of fiberglass to fill in the back side, then body-filler to bring it to the top. Sand smooth and prime.
I cannot tell from the pic if the fender is off or not. More pics. Or check the alignment with the door, and the windshield arm. if it lines up than it's fine, if not than it belongs in that hole. You should have 3 bolts holding your fender to your frame under the hood right there.

Yes im talking about that lil guard deal on the door, I was wondering if that is an oem thing..? or if i got some skirts for my would they hide it..?
and on the fender it lines up with the door and bumper but there are holes right next to where the fender has a bolt so why would that be there ? maybe im missing a weatherstripping piece or something ? -------------------- |
