I have some rust under the seats (surprise!). I had planned to just use "POR15 Patch" on.
But maybe I should get a couple of these patched with steel&weld? Welding is beyond my capabilities so I'd have to find a local shop to do it - I don't like others messing with my car plus $$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Opinions? Driversside...  Driverside firewall...  Pass. firewall/door corner...  Possible structural issues with this one...  |

Welding is beyond my capabilities so I'd have to find a local shop to do it - I don't like others messing with my car plus $$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Looking at the rust you have around the inner-longs and the pan... Have you dug into the hell-hole and other areas on the ourside rockers to get a full evaluation of the rust damage you are dealing with? Having seen a similiar pattern in two cars I have bought, I was optimistic until I really knew all the places. As far a welding goes, it is expensive to have someone do it. You can be your own fixer for a little less than $700.00 and with a little practice, you can tackle a lot of the fixes that you see on these forums. But still you need to know for yourself that your structure is not weakened. Your initial damage in the floorpan looked a lot like mine... <s/> |
