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 |

Not to be argumentative but there are no 50 old year cars in perfect condition.
Otherwise you woudn't be looking for help - no? Seriously, 1st step of teener addiction is to be honest with yourself. Admit you have a problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) All joking aside, there are things you can do yourself if you're inclined. There is no easy fix. They all involve lots of $$ or lots of sweat. Sometimes both. However, it all depends on what skills and tools (if any) you have at your disposal. Nothing to be ashamed of to admit you have neither. We all started there. Assuming you want to do what you can your self, a wire wheel, Ospho, and some 2K epoxy primer and 2K paint will go a long way. The problem is access to the area is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif). It's even worse with a battery tray in the way, and even worse yet again with the engine in the way. See why this gets pricey quick? All the above ASSUMED that the rust truly is surface rust. Only gets worse if it is not. Honestly, I'd say spend some time on this forum, get familiar with what's involved. Look at the worst cases. Watch Ian's videos on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N_i7l0vhr4 Assess honestly what you're willing to tackle and what you have to oursource. |
