My Newell had some damage on the bay doors when purchased. Before repainting I wanted to repair. In order to work the aluminum from the back side I drilled a 4” hole in the inner panel. These pics show the process. It is not perfect.... It’s very difficult to shrink the stretched aluminum. Pic 3 shows the outside after metal work was completed. It took very little filler. I epoxied the patch on, squirted some foam insulation and will finish it off later.
