Pics of my EX's rust problem
  im thinking cut it out and mold a body kit over it. stops all future rust, and easier than repairing the [total lack of] sheet metal.

Re: Pics of my EX's rust problem
ya, I have the same thing on my hatch, but not quite as bad and seems more rotted.....what I did as a temporary measure is cut out all the old rust and fill the gaps with self expanding foam, its something you can fiberglass or bondo over, and seals up the car (kind of)....

Re: Pics of my EX's rust problem
I went the pricey way with my rex, had the rust blasted right off then all the metal was rewelded on. Expensive, but its on its way into is second winter since and its in perfect shape, the work was flawless.
Not worth the money still.

Re: Pics of my EX's rust problem
they work now, earlyer they didnt. Cut it out and weld in a replacment piece. Rocker Panels are a structural piece in unibody cars.

Re: Pics of my EX's rust problem
i was going tto weld in some shit, but I really dont think i can bend the same curve. Maybe a straight piece for strength, then either a body kit or the foam/fiberglass method for looks?
