luminal67 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I wish i could go back 8 years ago and try to prevent more rust. my brother didn't take such good care of the car when he had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarloChick Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Does this answer your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well the thing is with rust, once it starts on the body panels, it requires much work to get rid of it. If you catch it early, you can fix it without tooo much trouble. But once it sets in, Especially with body panels, theres more parts that are much much worse. MMC, that fucked! lol Ny gotta love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Rust is the reason why I wanna get my olds off the road in the winter, but since pops wont let me, I spend atleast $100+ every winter in car washes to keep it clean and get the salt off it.

luminal67 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Ok here are some pics of the rust i fixed under the hood. I used this stuff called POR-15. it stands for Paint-Over-Rust. check them out, it's good stuff. http://wbodysource.com/Gallery/v/luminal67/ the battery tray was done in the same manner, i just forgot to get pics of it.

1990lumina Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 A lot of ppl use that POR-15 stuff on this forum IIRC...I've heard good things about it. My car had that typical rust above the tailights and on the other side of the trunk lid lip...all fixed 100%.....the inside of my rear queaters at the bottom had surface rust starting (2 door coupe, vent thingy in the door jam) anyway those vents leak like a bitch...so I snaded as much as possible with a brom handle...vacuumm, sprayed some rust reversal shit on it and then went to town with tar undercoating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I spend 3 days doing the under body of my car with that POR-15. Thats some good shit. That looks like just alot of surface rust, which really isnt too bad. Give ya props on cleaning that up though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminal67 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 thanks it took about 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminal67 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 there were two or three holes that i found that were caused by the rust. you can see the one on the rad support ant on the battery tray where it looks like its pushed up.

Regal_GS_1989 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 i know that i got a bit of rust on the rockers behind the cladding on my regal, but so far i have been keeping it at bay with rust-check. I just find it wierd that a lot of cars start showing surface rust before it gets bad. W's are like the complete opposite, it comes in from behind, and once it shows its ugly head, its too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 The body cladding doesn't help matters either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarloChick Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 on a side note oly damn MCC, how does that thing pass NYS inspection!No idea.. it was inspected before we bought it..
