or :welder:Do you think a hell hole repair kit will do? i could use your imput.. thanks..

12 views and the cat got all their tongues?? so what do you think people? i know its a late model but is it worthy of a repair?

Hey its Friday night. Everyone is still at the bar.

Not too bad really. Clean it down to shiny metal and see how bad it really it.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being bad, thats about a 3-4. You gotta keep the water out of it in the short term so it doesn't get worse.

thanks for the info... ill do it and show ya... the rims will go. ill do a 5 lug and repaint but i have no welding experience. guess its time to start....

Randy, that's not really that bad, but you need to do a little exploratory research. The battery tray and stand are an easy replacement. These parts are available at restoration-design.com. I've documented the restoration of my car which included replacing the right rear suspension console, engine shelf, battery tray/stand and some minor 'hell-hole' repair.

Here's the link to my site....

If you decide to do the repair yourself, post plenty of pics and any questions you might have, there are enough members to give you good answers and recommendations....

Thanks again.....what do you think ide pay to have someone come do it? Ill check the price of a hell hole kit and ive seen the bat repair stuff but i thank you again.

If you are near McMark, I would suggest that you drive it all summer long, enjoy it..
then bring it to mark with your 5 lug parts..
Have him do the whole thing..hell hole and all.

Forget about what you see...

Dig deep and harsh with an ice pick...

If you hit solid metal everywhere but the holes, take a wire brush (on a drill) to it.

Dig as deep as you can, AND pull those rockers....









My car is sucking right now so extract what you need....

do a search on " metal fabbers...report ".
