Hey guys. What should I do with these small holes in the longs? Should I patch with pieces of spare longs I have or try to fill the holes with molten metal. Any advice would be appreciated.

IMHO, pinholes like that mean it's much worse on the inside. But it's really had to tell from those photos whats going on.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Just cuz u see rust on the outside of something doesn't mean that there isn't any rust underneath. These cars a natorious for rusting. The longs r one of the areas that rust a lot. IMHO...You might want to look inside the longs to c if it's rusted on the inside. Especially since you have the parts to replace the rusted out longs when u find the ares that r rusted. Cut it open and have a look. You have the spare metal; might as well make sure 100% that the longs r rust free before you call it good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
