Rust issues

Subject: Rust issues Wed Oct 27, 2010 10:52 pm

I knew this car I just bought for a winter rat was rusty so I shouldn't be surprised....

The tailgate is in very nice shape, and so is the jam area, surprising for a NY. car.

Remember when you were little and your mother told you not to pick at that scab?

WOW....What a hole.

Suddenly I don't feel too bad about the rust in my wagon.

Mike, not sure what exactly you mean? Just a guess, but does it have anything to do with the word "choke"?

I'm really surprised that body supply stores don't stock big pieces of sheet plastic and a heat gun for "bodywork" like this.

They do Joel, but only up to a 4 x 8 sheet.

They were, but there was a seperate smaller plant in MI. My car happened to come from there. I never knew about this other plant til I read my window sticker.

Sorry for all the work Mike..... I don't think my tiger hair skills will help with this one.

Subject: Re: Rust issues Thu Oct 28, 2010 7:40 pm

The previous owner had them all replaced in the last 2 years, so they are actually pretty good.

bit of fibreglass,. it'll be fine,.buy some of that sticky metal tape they use for hvac,.its rust hole repair magic,. then cover it with something substantial,.
i,ve built all kinds of car parts/area's with cardboard and duct tape covered with fibreglass resin and mat, its great fun when you pull the carpet and see the down pipes cats, bellhousing, cross member and tranny linkeage,.

No need for GPS with that wagon because you cant get lost.Just follow the rust particles
home.Kinda like breadcrumbs and jack and jill.Then again you had better fix it soon
before it waste away to nothing.
Just a thought!!
