ha ha shit that sounds nasty, your car isnt the one pictured above is it ^^^^
hmm ive only found 3 spots. all the size of 10 cent peices. how would i get rid of them myself?? and i know what im gunna do tomoro judging by ur pics, take my bumpers off
haha it pretty much looks like that but with more holes in it
sharpie i have some bad news for you,
those 10cent size holes you have found will be the centre of a wider affected area on the metal, prob under the paint and on the other side of the metal.
and just prey that your not looking at a previously repaired rust area which has flared up again.
wen you fix it go hard with the grinder keep going till you find fresh metal.
for treating it look up that site that i put up a link for on the 1st page, that stuff is the best
ok cheers bud. going to do that now
mines heaps worse... dont worry dude its easy enough to fix.
Im doing all fo mine in a shed with a dirft floor including prepping panels for a respray lol...just ake your time and it turns out sweet!
yeah ive got just over a week till next drift day, so thats my deadline.
didnt help that i broke a bone in my foot yesterday, but i was back into it this arv.
jeez.. im lucky my AW11 has no rust. in the UK and US it is shocking.. all around the gaurds is choppy and rusted, aswell as the front and rear bumper/skirt things. if y'all think yours is bad, just think about those americans with their rusty ae86's.
alot of the 80's toyotas seem to rust pretty bad. my mates mum's tarago is constantly popping up with more spots of rust... and some always seems to be taken out.
so just get it while you can. before it gets too bad.
atleast you didnt have to replace the WHOLE GUARD LIP.
it had been repaired before, in japane, they cut the whole guard lip off and used small thin stainless steel patches to re-build the lip ROUGHLY, then bogged over it to re create the shape, in some places well over 10mm thick
thats not really good enough, and pretty fragile (15x8.5 -5 = rub = bog cracking and falling out!).
so i cut some allmost 100% rust free guard lips off a donor ae86 and welded them back onto mine. just a light skim of filler over the join and a little above to flatten out the warpidge from the welding.
notice the area behind the wheel arch? where the bumper covers. look a little differant? the seam on the rear pockets was completely rusted away.. so i just cut the pocket off and plated it up.
