My Attempt at rust removal thread

[King James]

I got sick of the rear quarter panel rust that has attacked my car...So today im attempting to do the diy rust removal....I am followeing accordtunerx's diy thread http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...t=rust+removal
with a few modifications cuz well my rust is just worse then his was....I realize that it would be smarter and easier to just pay someone to remove it properly and completly like so many other ppl have done...but I do not have 2500 dollars to spend on that and until I do this will be my bandaid on it....This is my first major attempt at any body work in my life so I am expecting to fail miserably...but at least i tried right haha...So if yer readin this and yer seein something that im doin wrong tell me and ill listen lol....or if you have some advice to give im all ears

Ne wayz...Heres wat my car looked like:

Drivers Side

Passengers Side
NOTE: notice the grey primer...In october i got my friends dad to help me remove the rust...all he did was sand it down and spray primer...Just on the surface rust

This is wat it looks like without the bumper on it

Drivers Side

Passengers Side
The rust is alot worse then i thought...Its up in behind the fender liner thing on both sides and its all along the bottom of the drivers side doors.

As of right now I have sanded down all the surface rust on the visible portion of the body and im on way to derust the major parts of it....Wish me luck.

Im not exactly sure...Im just basically doin this until i save up enough to take it to a body shop and get all the rust spots rewelded in with new metal...I just cant afford it right now and i hated the fact that my bumper and rear quarters were fucked up...I couldnt stand lookin at it.

man that is a whole lot of rust man, good luck trying to fix that mess.

Haha yea just a lil eh...its the price i pay to live in beautiful Canada tho ahhahah....and thanks

I was like literally shocked when i saw it cuz i figured itd look exaclty the same way it did above the bumper...then i find out its almost falling off lol.

i know my bumper mounts are really really weak. i pull very lighty on the bumper and u can hear the rust cracking. although my friends accord had liike 3" missing from rust all the way around the rear wheel well

That's easy to do!

Check out my old thread when I did mine..
I halfassed it becuase I didnt have the knowlage or anything like i do now. Once i do my rust on my car when I get out of school in may ill show you on my new ride how it's done.

Yea its turning out easier then i thought it was gonna be....Its more time consuming....But im takin my time cuz I want this to last long enough for me to save up lol.

[Mr. zip]

This looks alot like whats going on with my rear quater panels. Its gonna take a lot of work to fix the problems with mine, yours may look bad but it doesnt hold a candle to my rear-left quaterpanel.

[Skunk138cb7]

good job so far, i just did mine, im like you just hopin it lasts long enough till i can save up and do it right

Very Scary lol....Its like it wants to hide....On the passengers side the rust was soo bad that most of the bumper support came off along with the bumper...and now that im Grindin away at the rust i just keep findin more and more....I cant wait till i save up enough to get rid of it the right way like you did.

[williamsvt]

good luck man

good luck man

Thanks

UPDATE: I have finished grinding away all the rust and ive put on the rust neutralizer. I got some aluminum and im using that as the base to reform where i had to cut away all the rust...All in all i think its turning out better then i expected other then the amounts of rust...Pics will be commin up later its too sunny out right now and the pics dont turn out right.
