Re: Rust Repair Write-ups
 

Rust repair is rust repair, man. You either cut all the rust out and weld in new metal, replace the part entirely with a non-rusted one, or you grind as much off as you can (preferably all of it) and coat it with anti-rust solvent.

My rear bumper (the bumper itself, not the cover, the metal bar on the inside) is rusty as hell. I ground off what I could and coated it with rust remover and called it a day. You're driving a tincan Honda anyways, don't worry too much about the bumpers... ;)

true that... i mena i could just say ---- it and do a bondo job on the quarters and clean it up a little bit and then trade it in or sell it.

Re: Rust Repair Write-ups
 

Pretty much unless you can find a yard willing to cut off a panel for you, and you can weld it in, I would just use fibreglass. And bondo. Lots of bondo.

Re: Rust Repair Write-ups
 

ok so now where do i get the fiberglass and the bondo? i need to get the fiber glass strips and resin right? ---- i dont even know what im getting myself into this out to be fun.also does fiberglass stick to metal that well?

Re: Rust Repair Write-ups
 

Most hardware stores should sell fibreglass + resin. Any autoparts store should have bondo. Fibreglass will stick to metal, just use lots of resin and make sure the metal is clean.

You can buy a kit at Walmart for cheap in the auto section. Gotta do this soon to the hatch. Midwest winters are nice but damn then for being so generous with the salt. >:( No fancy ---- for me. Just sand her down and lay on some fiberglass and paint that ----. It's a beater for me but I'm getting that gangsta lean on my bumper and don't want that fucker falling off or one day just start dragging on the ground.

Re: Rust Repair Write-ups
 

You can also buy the fiberglass at Discount Auto, or go to a body paint supplier and get the stuff there. You can pretty much shape it however you want while it's wet, then when it dries up, sand it, use a little of bondo, or filler, sand it and that's it.

Of course this is after you remove the rust or neutralize it. I would make templates with project board that you can later use as a base for the fiberglass.

That's how I will fix my hatch. maybe, someday.
