>>27596292Yea and im gonna stick the stickiest and densest sound dampening mat ontop so no fuckin gravel ever touches this surface ever again.Fuckin sand gets under the carpet and acts like sand paper its ridiculous
>>27596310Good luck anon

>>27596247based threadFUCK RUST
I saved a car from a flood 2 years ago, I didn't waste any time the next day I was tearing the interior apart and shampooing everything and did white vinegar sun baking cycles the entire week. It came out great and the car still smells great today, but OP made me realize I didn't tear the fucking carpet up so it's probably FUCKED underneath.
>>27596247what rust? lol
Get on my level
>>27596256but it will anon...
I was going to call you a little bitch for shitting yourself for almost nonexistent surface rust, but that's very based of you to strangle it before it got any worse.Did you slather black shit straight to the burred metal, or did you primer paint it first? Shouldn't really matter, but I've had undercoating peel off with old paint
>>27596825That whole floor has been replaced before so I feel like my reaction is completely warranted.I primered it with some shitass zinc primer, the black schmoo is hammerite applied thick with a brush. Decided it was gonna be a good sealant after I painted my steelies and ran them for a winter with no issues.
>>27596815Get on my level
>>27596253Should have blasted it or used a rust remover, all the shit you left in the crevices will creep back.
>>27596310know that sound mats will trap moisture if it ever gets water in it again
>>27596873i'd rather not in my current pakishop

>>27596815stop it I'm getting flashbacks !fuck bmw

>>27596247Rust is kind of poetic. It's the only thing that could truly kill a car and its inevitable.Even great, powerful machines like cars eventually crumble and wither at the the feet of time.
>>27596815I am on your level

The bottom side of my car is pretty much coated in surface rust, but it also has a layer of undercoating (not rubber thankfully).Whats the best course of action here?
Huh
>over 100 years of making cars and we still haven't invented a material that won't rust and is also viable to mass-produce
>>27596247you are like little baby.watch this.
>>27602479after Too rusty to weld.So I used a lot of rivets
>>27597105just remember to stab through the drains when it's installed, I saw a show truck that the guy did that shit to and it held water in the door and destroyed it.
>>27596247>>27596253>>27596256Have you considered coating it in cosmoline? Itll never be pretty again but itll also never rust. Almost never rust unless you remove the coating, but good luck with that.
>>27598294How do you know that's a BMW?
>>27602484Won't this gap allow water to penetrate?
>>27602619It looks worried

I need to solve bad rust and I can't weld, what can I do?
>>27604016learn how to weld. you can buy a decent MIG welder for around $1,000.maybe less for a used unit.maybe sounds like a lot of money but it's a lifetime item.it's worth learning.
>>27604158or you can buy shitty mig for like 300-400€it will do the job but better is always better
>>27604016Pay a man to fix it.
>>27604016Bondo babyTake a pic
>>27604158>>27604163I want to learn to weld, but I can't spend that money now. also I'm afraid of welding on car. there's flamable shit in it and electronic stuff that might get fried.>>27604170I want to avoid this. would do if I can't do it myself.>>27604228>Bondo babyI do not understand
>>27604330BondoWatch Chris fix's videos and see if that can't helphttps://youtu.be/n4vusY2-rkQ?si=G-kpnNU4fIqvZa2a
>>27602294Fluid film, or woolwax or cosmoline right on top of the undercoating
Tried spraying an RX8 with Waxoyle. This thing's rotting like a corpse in a hot tub.
>>27604163here's my problem with lower cost MIG welders.it's often times harder to get good welds with a cheap unit.I've used some $200 ish MIG and it was near unusable.while higher end units are a breeze to train on.I was a aerospace welder for a while so I'm not some random welder.(anything glowing in this pic is the stuff I welded)
>>27604648Next time don't spray the exhaust, then it won't stink so bad.
>>27602518Corrosion X would be better as it would actually remove some of the corrosion, and protect it. Plus it will seep into tight places.
>>27602484yuuup, that's a failed inspection in my shithole country
>>27604891yeah shitty migs are shitty i know, but they will do the jobif you've got the money it's always better to get a good one
>>27596256>>27596253>>27596247
>>27604891>skill issue
This seems like a good thread to askIm putting together a list of shit to buy so I can try my hand and rust repairs, will a 135 amp mig welder be enough for doing quarter panels and shit like that?
>>27602926KEK
I've got tiny paint chips on my hood and I'm way too fucking lazy to fix it
RRRRRRRRRRUST!
>>27608774Get it all out
>>27608778Add a patch
>>27608781"A grinder and paint..." etc etc
>>27606943135 amps is plenty, on panel steel you'd likely use less than 80 amps. The trouble is that category of MIG welder usually don't work for shit right out of the box. Also don't use gasless. Just don't.
>>27596247Spray everything with Vaseline.That's what I did.How-to:https://www-fingers--welt-de.translate.goog/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=22863&_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp
>>27608774>>27608778>>27608781I have to do all of this, on the street and without power tools.
>>27608913Would it be viable to just paint the Vaseline on as opposed to spraying?
>>27608913
>>27609156>paint the Vaselinejesus christ...
>>27602926based beyond human grasp
my Subaru Outback has this rust on the quarter panel. just interested in removing the rust and reinforcing. I don’t care so much if it looks good. you can’t really get the quarter panel replaced. well, you can it’s just insanely expensive cause it’s a huge piece. should I grind it out, treat it and panel bond a patch on to it? (I don’t have a welder.) maybe panel bind the piece from behind the panel and fill the depression with bondo or cat hair?
>>27611205If it's bubbling like that, it's coming from behind. Once you have bubbles it's already through. "Removing" the bubbles/rust would automatically include removing the whole panel, since all that's left is maybe a few small layers of crispy flakes and the paint itself holding over a hole coming from behind. It's always weird with rust. People freak out over surface rust they can see, which generally is fixable from a surface level and much preferable, but don't seem to mind as much the paint bubbles which implies it's already too late to fix beyond just welding new panels. t. 30 year salt belt dweller
>>27611205It's probably pretty ugly under that paint, but at least it's not structural so you could cut out any crap and use fiberglass mat to patch it up. You should definitely try to remove the panel if you can, there's probably junk blocking a drain hole or something else going on underneath to cause the problem.
>>27596247wire wheels are trash, use a clean and strip wheel, it deletes rust and is a hundred times easier to wield.
FUCK UCK
>>27611205>you can’t really get the quarter panel replacedNo? Are you sure you can't find one?
>>27596247>>27596253>>27596256lel
>>27602613E36 acking points are unique
>>27596587How could you do all that work and never do the bottom lmao
>>27611205for the amount of money that you spend on bondo doing a temp fix you can buy a cheap welder
>>27615569For the money you spend on a cheap welder you can get a pro to make it perfect.I just had to hand something over to a pro and an all metal fix to something utterly buggered is a beautiful thing to see.
Posted this in the honda general. I think I can take care of the rust on the bottom, even the hole with some mesh + filler, but the area in the wheel-well is throwing me off. Can you weld on metal at an angle? Should I just straighten it out as much as I can with a hammer, grind of the rust, then use mesh and filler too?>t. never welded before
>Midwestistan trannies
wire brush is garbage for rust, use a CSD disk (we call them nigger biscuits where I live)
>>27615765see >>27604355
We should have a rust general thread, especially seeing how long this one has lasted
>>27596310>dampeningThat's why it rusted in the first place.

Fuck rust
>>27617368after all, rust never sleeps
>>27602841hey anon, i was looking for help to do this, for my old vw, what kind of rivets are those?
>>27604381>>27606050Agreed. I cant get corrosionx here in canaderp at a decent price. The cheapest was CRC marine corrosion inhibitor but the jews got to it during covid. Prices are sky high now. Its still the cheapest at about $20 a can on amazon
I'd have started shooting tires off salt trucks if I lived up in yankee land, fuck that gay ass shit
I'm taking delivery of a new car next couple weeks.I live squarely in the suburbs of the American northern midwest, with salted and brined roads every winter.I want to keep my new car nice.Is a professionally-applied, spray-on undercoating worth it?Something like Fluid Film.
>>27617420No it aint lmao.>>27602479Yeah u c, my floor has already been replaced before>>27602069The opposite bud, they NOTORIOUSLY rust, especially late 70's one. Some came with bubbles from the dealership.>>27601533Aye, it aint a pretty life but som1 has to live it
>>27617420No, I'm gay lmao>>27602479Yeah u c, my ass has already been fucked before>>27602069The opposite bud, I'm NOTORIOUSLY a huge faggot, especially in the late 70's. I would cum on Bubbas at the dealership.>>27601533Aye, it aint a pretty life but som1 has to live it
>>27596945Honestly, you could reskin a car in a pakishop. Really doesn't take any special tools or a lot of space, just a bit of time and patience. You only really need a lift for floors.>>27599149Kek, it's surprisingly a lot cheaper and a lot easier to just put new panels on instead of fixing what's there.
>>27618194Fluid film swells rubber and gets messy as fuck. It's good for inner cavities but anything external is a greasy mess and needs to be reapplied annually and touched up seasonally at the hotspots where it just washes off. It also makes your car disgusting to wrench on since it collects all the road dust and smears on your arms and anything it touches.Woolwax is thicker/less smeary and holds up better. Slight issue with the messiness though.Cosmoline is imo the best longterm solution and is the cleanest. It doesnt smear or collect much dirt after it dries so wrenching on your car isnt an issue. It's also the most impervious to abuse. Even a pressure washer wont take it off. You need petroleum based solvents to remove it.Touch up the cosmoline 1x a year, and after the 3rd year you can probably do it once every 2yrs or more if you dont drive much
>>27619485Forgot to mention cosmoline is safe on almost all surfaces youll find under your car. It doesnt swell rubber/plastics. You can even spray it over electrical connections and exposed contacts to weatherproof them.I think the reason it doesnt get much love is because it's too much of a permanent solution and no one can really make money off of it as opposed to those annual rustproofing solutions that last a few seasons at best. I also suspect fluidfilm pays a lot of its reviewers or give them benefits to advertise it. Its a decent product but requires maintenance which means consistant revenues. Literally a subscription service to keep your car rust free...
>>27618377AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAi will fix it someday
2013 Mazda, I hate this car as much as it hates me
>>27618377>No it aint lmao.If it wasn't damp it wouldn't rust.
