Once rust starts theres no stopping it. You can grind off as much as you can and do some welding but thats if you are ready to get a paint job.

I had this, I removed that sealant strip and grinded the most I could, then painted / bondo where I could, I periodicaly shoot red rust stop in there...went through winter and its still holding (though theres always little rust spot that need cares once a month or so with touch paint/sanding paper...Doing something as early as possible is the best you can do without replacing your hatch.
btw, that's very very minimal rust you have there --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

yea..that foam spoiler on the S13s were stupid. But my thing is i want to have a spoiler on my car. Im gonna go c the scrap yard around the corner from me and see if they still have 1. I was there in August and they had a yellow hatch for cheap. I cant remember the condition of it, but ill double check tomorrow. Only thing im not gonna b looking forward to is painting the hatch again.
EDIT: Ill also go c my friend who works at a body shop on sunday and see how much hes gonna charge to fix it up. This post has been edited by Valo666: Apr 26, 2007 - 5:21 PM |
