Any ideas on what to do about this? The nose was repaired with bondo a while back, a tire was mounted on the front, which cracked the bondo and the nose got rusty under the bondo. I pulled off some of the bondo, sanded the rust of and put on some rust protection, which is why it looks brown. Not sure what to do now. Any ideas?

looks like that whole nose is a bondo sculpture.
I would strip the entire nose. if it looked workable I would sand blast/epoxy and work up from there.
in the end, doing a whole skin (even though it seems like a lot of work) would be the fastest way. I think gerson makes them now
