EEEK My Car Has Cancer Bad
do you guess think i should try kemotherapy to try and save her? can it be done? do we have the technology?
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...11_16_full.jpg my fear is that the rust has gone too far up the wheel well, do you think its fixable? http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...11_17_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...11_18_full.jpg |

Looks like a grinder and welder are in desperate need......
|
Is it into where the control arms attach? if it is then it is better to junk it. It can be fixed But I would not want to pay the cost of haveing someone do it.
My buddys dad fixed one with 1/4 " plate But it only held for 5 more years before it rusted out fully. |
82transam can chime in on this one. Yes its fixable. I would not pay shop rates to get it fixed though.
|
i have a friend who will do it with me, so $$ is no concern.
|
As lnog as they remove and replace ALL the affected metal, you'll be fine. I've had good luck finding good shops to repair rust, but then they do it as a sort of loss leader for all the other work I bring them...
|
i believe if you get it done professionally, you should then get the anti-rust coating like what most new cars have to it won't happen again the 2nd time.
either that or just don't drive your car in the rain/snow :D |
damn thats gotta hurt...thats a hell of alot of rust and shit...wow...good luck with that I suggest that you sand blast it...buy this special stuff that turns the remaining rust into an alloy...grind it smooth and weld a piece of steel there and rust treat the hell out of it to prevent that again...but I would agree that if its rusted too bad by the supports it might be better to junk it...good luck you'll need it...
|
definetaly recoverable if you can do it yourself, but its going to be a pain in the ass and a lot of grinding, cutting.. i've got to do the same to my car on the drivers side its fairly rusted, but not as bad as that..
g'luck man |
Hey you live in Michigan , why are you suprised...
|
If I were you, I'd sell it to me for 100 bucks.. I can euthanize it humanely, then remove any useful organs so that others may live. hehehehehehe...
|
thats minor ive built new floors in my dads rex with a grinder a welder and a BFH
|
best time to : Cut the entire thing out. Install a full cage, and 4 link suspension :) Re-tin the floor/rear....DONE!
:-D sucks man, good luck with the repairs! |
Yeah! Don't grind anything, you have to cut it out. I had rust in mine too. Cut out everything then brought it to a shop for the metal work. $400 for repairs. Also put like 4 layers of undercoating on when your done, inside and out. The get the spray antirust stuff, the company rhar makes Navel Jel;y sells it. My site has pics of the whole process.
