  • My 87 Teg was like that. It wasn't worth repairing, I just drove the thing.

    Oh dear lord! Thats a whole lotta rust, so what are you going to do about it?
  • That isn't a whole lot of rust. Mine was about the same. Little sheet metal and some rust proofing products to prevent (rather slow it down) more rust and you are good to go.

    damn your car is clean underneath! :shock:
  • thats about as good as you can hope for as far as rust goes. Pretty easy to cut that out and weld in new panel. consider yourself lucking its not worse.

    To answer your question i cut it out and welded in patch pieces
    then smoothed them over with a Product called All Metal Filler
    as i can't stand Bondo. Then used a syringe with POR 15 in it
    and sealed anything i could get too. Then made a special nozzle
    that is about 16in long to spray into the body panel access holes
    anywhere around the repaired area. Done except paint !
    I will post pictures later..
