J Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 hav a body shop give you a free estimate, see what they think, is it just surface rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminaPower92 Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 No its through the panel, they would have to cut it out and replace it, then paint the whole rocker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ha i know how you feel, mine being a michigan car for 14 years takes a toll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Same here. You could Bondo it but it comes back ( trust me I know)... Best thing to do if you really want to spend the money is have the rocker replaced. But then that gets expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm assuming this rust is behind the body cladding?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Get behind it as much as you can and spray grease it. thats what i did on mine, and then covered it with grd fx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Personally I'd seal the holes off somehow....maybe some sheetmetal and tar it to the existing body work and spray paint it...then cover it with the gfx.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I JB Welded credit cards over the holes!!!! Ghetto!!!!!! plastic won't rust!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I JB Welded credit cards over the holes!!!! Ghetto!!!!!! plastic won't rust!!! Haha, you know what, I'd probably consider doing that IF the cladding covered it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per0781 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 i'd get it fixed before the cladding really gets rusty and falls off like mine is doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
