Spring driving in Massachusetts is a few months away. So I decided to remove the motor and fix the hell-hole rust. I could be in way over my head. Here's what I've done so far. (several pics to follow) Can you guys show me exactly what I need to do next? How much more should I cut out? How much surface rust do I need to grind away? Some of hell-hole repair pictures I've seen posted show shiny metal on the longs and inner fender. I don't think I could every get mine like that. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'm about to do some cutting, welding, etc. Last june when I bought the car I thought it didn't have
any rust issues. That was before I found this board and new what to look for. From what I know it really is a matter of cutting any rust out that you can't grind out or that's too far progressed to treat. You need clean metal to weld to (this means clean on BOTH sides. Do searches on rust repairs- there are many excellet threads. I have learned something from ALL of them. Here's my favorite: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...=2&t=16748&st=0 |
