I bought this car as a project car, and that's essentially what it is. I knew it had bad rust. But am deciding if I should even attempt fixing it, or if it is even possible.

 

Wow...that is going to be a lot of work. Good luck

 

its possible to fix...but since its going to be a project its going to be a while before it gets done...

 

New roof skin ftw . Nothing's impossible if you have the skills/truly want to save it .

 

how do I go about getting a new roof skin? just find one in the junk yard, and cut it off?

You can do that, but's it's a pain, I would just go OEM.

 

yeah go oem. **** i wouldnt have even bought that. lol.

 

i'd be looking for rust in other places too man...thats pretty bad...

 

It really isn't that bad lol. EF's in the rust belt typically develop pretty horrible rust, but if it's a project you're looking for--you got it.

My car today (The red one):



Now imagine first-sized rust holes (multiple) on both rear quarters. Yeah, my car was once Canadian, lol.

Just go to a junkyard and cut a roof offa a clean EF, and contact Wes V. He has a nice writeup on how to replace an EF roof skin on his site. Not too much work, really. Just drill out some spot welds and reweld it in. A helluva lot easier than replacing a full quarter (IMO) because you don't need to smooth anything out (welds are in the rain gutter covered by the weatherstripping .

*Edit*

Here's the writeup: http://www.performanceforum.co....html
