It's time for my first rust repair project.
Thankfully I got lucky when I got lucky when I bought my car, it doesn't have a lot of rust, just a couple of spots. I am going to tackle the worst first so I can get the refreshed 2.0 in. Here is a photo of the spot. It is foward of the batt. tray and right in the lower front corner of the engine bay. I removed a funky metal patch that the previous owner had riveted and thrown some kind of gunk on to seal it up, How much more should I cut away? and then ...

Trekkor - thanks for the link I knew I had seen a recent thread but couldn't remeber which it was, some good info there.
Dan - you better watch what you offer, you could find yourself taking a long drive. Ed- thanks for the advice. Just so ya'll know most of the welding I have done is good ol' fashioned stick welding with pretty thick steal on commercial fishing boats, with some wire feed aluminum welding (but not much of that). A friend of mine with quite a bit of welding experience will be helping me out. Now if I could just find the time. |
