slick Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yep, I have some. Mainly over the rear wheel wells. This spring/summer, I'm hitting up JY's all over to find some good pieces, and replacing what is bad. I also want to pull off the side body cladding to inspect that as well. My underbody is actually in really good condition, and a coat of por-15 will fix anything that is slightly bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hey, about how much POR-15 did you use to go over the rad support? I want to pick some up to go over my rad support, subframe, control arms and a lot more eventually, but the shit isn't cheap. How much should I expect to use?

SigEpCutlass Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 undercoating, undercarriage washes, & regular washing/waxing before winter do wonders for a car in the north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used half a quart and that did the entire underneath of my car twice...... That stuff goes a looooonnnngggg way. But its about 35 bucks.

ns87 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 My car is from southern NJ. Even the battery tray has no rust I guess that means you can't relate to me, SHIT. that probably made you feel worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 My car doesnt have any rust either....... and Im from further north so HA. But that POR-15 is a very good preventative for rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intlcutlass Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 My car doesnt have any rust either....... and Im from further north so HA. But that POR-15 is a very good preventative for rust. Actually .... it works best when it's applied OVER existing rust. Did my underbody too. Just don't get it on your hands..... they will be black for a week or so. Also... it's VERY thin... almost the consistancy of milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakiln Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Little spots here and there, but nothing too major. Actually a friend of mine does body work however, I haven't done much yet because he is a perfectionist and he wants to strip the entire quarter panel to fix a dime size rust spot. I figure what the hell the car could use some new paint anyway and I won't turn down free labor. Plus it'll be a good excuse for us to give my wife while we hang out.

ToroToro Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Well on your quarter, the only thing that will keep it away completely is getting at it from behind. You could sand the whole quarter down and repaint it, but it'll be back. Trust me, I know. I've re-done mine twice ( sanding it to bare metal, then hitting it with Extend, then priming, painting and clearing ) and the shit still comes back. All the water and mud from the wheel well gets in there and rusts everything to piss. This spring I'm poping off the rear bumper and plastic wheel well and doing some serious shit to keep it away. I dunno what yet. Much is the same with the rockers on these cars. There are tiny gaps at the bottom ( pull off the little door vent and you'll see daylight coming through your rocker ) that let all the salt and crap in, and it rusts like a banshee. I'm sure GM's idea was to let the moisture OUT that way, but it seems like it does more harm than good with their half ass rust proofing. My first fix on the rockers is still good though, after a year...thank god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 This spring I'm poping off the rear bumper and plastic wheel well and doing some serious shit to keep it away. I dunno what yet. Jay(xtremelumina92) pointed out to me on his fiance's Scion something to me, and I really like the idea. In the rear wheel wells, they welded a seam inbetween the two metal panels themselves, that way moisture wouldn't get inside. You could only see it if looking, because of how it was done. Anyways, seemed like a really good idea to me, and something I would like to have done to mine whenever I can get mine fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hmmm.. that does sound like it would work good. I dont think I'm nearly crafty enough with welder to do that though. Probobly turn my quarter into a warped melted mess. Maybe I could just try some seam sealer on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian P Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have a couple of small localized surface rust spots under my car, and two random dime sized spots on my roof that I more or less corrected. Other than that I'm clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
