hi all , i would like to know whats the worst that that could happen to own a car with rear quarter rust like the picture shown below...cause im deciding whether to get the car or not...but the rust problem makes me worry. i just plan to keep the car for 2 years and sell it later.... do u think it will last?

thanks

well..... it isnt a good sign..... they call it "cancer"..... and it tends to spread "very slowly", but if you plan on ditching it in a few years, then go for it!! id take an s5 t2 w/ cancer .... but make sure you tell them to lower the price of the car for that!! unless they already did

Mine has the same thing... the only way to truly get rid of it is to cut the rust right out, and if its bad, you'll need to rivit or weld on some new metal, wich btw will need to be fabricated to fit the shape of the wheel well (not easy). From there, get ready for some heavy grinding, then some filler to make it smooth and flush, prime, paint, done.

Its just a shitload of work. I don't think that me and my dad can do the wheel wells, although I will say that I took a ******* dent that was made with a ******* shovel in the door and siding, into a nice flush surface again it was fun stuff, and alot of work. We're still not done, just getting into the priming stage.

so i should skip a car like this no matter how good the engine is with the goodies inside?

it is a GTU converted to TII with a newly rebuilt 4 miles engine with loads of stuff inside....price is firm at 3900

opinions?

or anyone living in indiana that could help me check it out?

I wouldnt pay that much for it. Unless its ECUd with lots of goodies its not worth that much.

yea it has a lot of goodies but no standalone only.... capable of 300hp on wheels with 4 miles after rebuilt

thoughts?

how can i fix the rust?

just like blackplague said.. and it is a bitch of a job. bodywork is no fun

FC_mania

so i shouldnt even consider about the car? damn...back to square one.=(

no man, just learn how to do bodywork! its gonna be rather difficult to find an FC absent of any rust.. besides, after all the hours of shaping and cutting and sanding, youll feel much more attached to you seven.

which is a good thing. until you crash. and you have to start all over.
