Hi
Still looking for a good shop to fix my hell hole “surface rust” issues. I have a 74 (2.0) with original miles under 110,000. 2nd owner spent 10k re-painting but never addressed the rusted battery tray and surface rust in hell hole. Any recommendations for good shop in Los Angeles vicinity? Thnks |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I think people are hell hole'd out.
Hell hole is rarely just surface rust. Rust repairs are huge $$. Have bags of cash, you'll find a shop without much trouble. It's not rocket science, just very laborious and at shop rate of $100/hr it gets pricey fast. If you're looking for cheap, you're going to run out of options and recommendations fast. Very few shops want to deal with these sorts of jobs on anything other than a time a materials basis. There is probably a reason the previous owner spent $10K on paint but didn't dare dive into the dreaded hell hole And just in case this has been a cold reception on some of your 1st Newbie posts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Usually more engaging posts but you've sort of posted about rust repairs at the wrong time. By end of winter many of us are tired of working on rust. My car has been on jackstands for 2 1/2 years now for rust repairs. I'm even tired about taling about rust and metal fabrication is my thing! . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I wonder if there is something I can apply to at least prevent the rust from getting worse? |

There are plenty of rust encapsulators on the market, Navel Jelly, 3M has a product I’ve used for a temporary fix. I’ve also used POR-15 but you really can’t paint over rust, you need to remove the rust, acid treat the metal, clean the surface and paint, pretty much standard paint procedure. There isn’t any rust on a 914 that can’t be fixed, just takes time and effort. |
