rust =(

[NYCPYRO]

what to do with the driver side floor rust? any ideas? 

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

fix it?

fix it?

Perhaps Lou, the OP could be really innovative and apply some rust converter.

 

If there a real trailblazer they could also try cutting the rust out and welding new sections in.

 

Hell, don't know if it's been done before, but, it would be pretty cool if they give it a try :)

 

P.s. Welcome to Ratsun pyro

 

Get onto the search button and type something snazzy like "rust repair" and all you dreams should come true

ignore the kiwi... he's a limey bastard.

Ok youve had your (sarcastic) welcome and handled it with grace and applomb!

 

Seriously though, as Lou has hinted at, all FNG's must post pics of their ride.

 

In this case, pics of the rusted area(s) are a must for us when diagnosing things via a keyboard.

 

Go here for advice on how to post pretty pictures on Ratsun:

Based on your initial description it sounds like a replacement floor pan job to me.

You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.?

oh that's nothing, just spray it with a little rust convertor and go. :rofl:

 

you deff need to cut that out and tack in some new flooring.

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Looks like it is time to cut out the rust,then well new panel in(probably have to make something up)

I would peel back the material on the inner rocker area too, see how far up the rust goes.

If it doesnt,then you should be able to drill the spot welds along the floor/rocker area and reweld (and make it strong)

 Car looks great from the front

when i took her out from her long long nap  :P

[NYCPYRO]

can someone give me details about the rust what to buy and such  :geek:

[LeviGideon]

I'd get some sheet metal that is a similar thickness to your floor sheet metal and just fab up your own floor. You don't have to make all the fancy little ridges and stuff line up, just get it close enough to where you can seal it up and put something over it. Maybe coat the bottom of the car in por15 afterwards.
