I finally finished kiling 99% of the rust on the drivers side, After using a wire wheel to clean it up I applied some naval jelly to the rusted areas, then took the my mig welder and beefed up the areas that were getting thin, weak, or small holes, Unfortunately i didnt take as many picture this time.


The rear Jack point was pretty weak, so I spent most of my time working on this






I used new metal, that was about 2 times as thick, im only Using the thick metal for anything structural, and im very lucky that i dont need to use alot.

no, mama says vicki valencourt is the d.d.devil.


I went through this a few years back, luckily i have family in the business so i got it done cheap

 

body work is the suck... best of luck from a fellow Michigander

 

Lol.. I am by no means a welder, Its actually one of my first times welding, and im doing it with little knowlege oher then what i have read.

I did some practice stuff beore to figure the temp settings and what not but i still suck.

 

just so you know your gonna want to cut all that rust out till there is healthy metal then weld in your patches otherwise sorry to inform you that you will have rust again in your fresh paint job in a couple weeks. IM not talkin **** i just know i have done alot of bodywork Gotta start somewhere i did the same ****

 

Better to have a shitty weld than a rusty section. Good luck, if i had a garage i would be doing the same thing to my race car.
