rust repair NEED HELP
Ok so bought a 94 integra ls last year, $2500, pretty cheap, clean interior, engine runs good, smooth trans, overall ok for the price. Only problem was the rust on the car, I figured I have no money at the time and this is a good reliable car to buy. Rust was already showing through some parts of the paint at the time, didn't look too bad though, well I knew it was bad, not this bad but yea I knew I would have to fix it or drive around with it looking like crap. So now the time has come to fix the rust, its pretty bad now. Wheel well is rusted pretty bad almost all the way through on the inside and rocker panels rusted pretty bad. Previous owner put a lot of bondo on the car, if only he had done it right this car wouldn't be so bad! Some other parts rusted but I'm not too wory about right now. To save you all from more of my ranting I'll get to the point. I have no welder, so what I am thinking of doing is using panel bond to bond new sheet metal. Went to a couple of stores today, Autozone, home depot, fleet farm but can't find any panel bond. I've been looking at 3m's panel bond but don't really want to order form the net. Anyone know where I might find some in store? Also 3m requires you to buy this applicator gun to use the bonding material, is that necessary? The gun is $80, trying to save some money buy doing it myself, so i don't want to buy all these tools which is not necessary. Also my rocker panels are rusted, is it ok to cut out the bad metal and just leave it. It is safe to do that? If not I now I shouldn't bond it with metal but could I? I've been researching like crazy for the past week now, I NEED HELP!!!! I'm hoping to tackle part of it this weekend, so anyone with suggestions please help.
