Or if you're clever/lazy just cut a circular blank, stick in with bit of
filler or solvent-free gripfill or whatever, hold in place with 3 fat
screws in the joint locking the blank into the hole till it's stuck, then
fill rest of join & make good.

Or if you are even lazier, stuff newspaper in the gap till you caint
stuff no mo, and skim..haven't you ever bought a second hand car?

They are made of newspaper and car body filler, and rust. :-)
