Rust!

[bahnugget]

Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster..

basically i have a question for all you knowledgable people.. and it is

where are the common places to find rust in hachi's, and where is it a big deal if there is rust? like hard to fix, obviously chassis has to be rust free and such...

the reason i'm asking is i http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wub.gif hachi's, have for some time, and i'm looking at getting a cheap adm sprinter and building it up as a project.. so yeah, any help is schweet.

cheers bigears!

Left Door

Hatch

The bits of rust around the doors wasnt tooo hard to get rid of. I just cut it out with angle grinder and a dremel and got a mate of myn to TIG weld a plate in and bog over it.
The rust around the hatch i havent tackled yet but probably do a similar thing.

n/s/f =? o/s/r =?[/b]

its like a mechanical term.. N/S/F = near side front.. N/S/R = near side rear, O/S/F = off side front O/S/R off side rear.. the way i was taught to remember it was Nearest to the kerb from the passenger side is ur near side.. furthurst from the kerb on passenger side is off side hope that helps and dun sound confusing http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/blink.gif

isn't it easier to just write "passenger door" or "driver side guard" http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif
