Having a little trouble passing safety, mechanic wanted a full body restore...luckily the body shop disagreed and said some patches should be fine to which another mechanic is on board with. However, I can't even tell what I'm looking at...Is that just painted rust? painted welds? painted seem sealer? any info or tips appreciated. Just trying to assess where I'm at and what I'm working with!
VIDEO: https://i.imgur.com/dAzfg1E.mp4 There's 3-4 holes in the underside, 1 is about the size of a quarter under the passenger seat. The interior of the trunks and interior of the floor looks pretty good, though? Looks like the jack points are cut off/missing on the rockers as well: All the fender wells look like this: Longs: Updated Patch work: |

That looks pretty bad, someone just smeared good over the rust/patches.
Looks like the bottom of *both* longs were gone as well as the floorpan along the rear firewall. I agree with whoever suggested a full restore. Judging from the "quality" of those repairs, i bet the inside of whatever they closed up is still rusted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
