im about to buy a 90' integra DB1 everything is perfect,but theres one rust hole about 7 inches long and 1 1/2" inch wide

what should i do!?

my friend said cut it off and junkyard the exact same piece from a junk car and weld it on!

anyone got some suggestions?
i want to fix the rust hole before i paint it and before my trunk becomes a pool.

what do i need?
materials?
things to read?
links?

sorry if this has been covered before,thanks in advance.much appreciation.

 

Depends on the location. Sure, getting the exact piece from another chassis will make replacement easy. Simple trunk area can be reproduced from sheet metal though also, without much difficulty.

Just do some google searching on rust repair and panel replacement. The work your looking to do is stupid simple if you just read up. Do some reading. I don't mean that in a mean way, more of an encouraging way...just read up, you can handle it.

 

Your're lucky its in the trunk because it doesn't need to look perfect (unless you want perfection).
you should also look for the source of the leak that probably caused this and fix it, I would suspect the brake light gaskets or a clogged sunroof drain.

 

thanks.
