Welcome

pignose

Check if the frame rails are alright. If they are bad, then the car is not worth working on.

i didnt see it b4 but ur rocker panels look fucked up..how bad are they? i remember i had like no rockers left on my old hatch

my right rocker is practically gone.

i got it on the lift at school the othert day to change the oil and i sw that every screw nut n bolt under the car was rusted. >.<

the frame rails are good but... alittle rust is just starting on the front right. i need to take care of it asap to stop it now.

heres pics of the rocker.

behind the front tire.


under the back of the door.

wow

that aint shit. ask d* about my car hatch.

cut that off. paint exposed metal, and put some side skirts on. simple fix

iv been lookin for a simple fix.

what should i do about all the rusted nuts bolts n screws? and about the other rust spots?

i have some rust starting behind the back licanse plate and some in the drivers side door frame

ill have pics up once i find my camera cord.

Pb blaster for nuts and bolts, other rust spots grind down to bare metal if its surface rust and paint, or cut out, grind and paint for bad rust

Ehh my daily driver is worse.... its salvagable if you feel like spending money, otherwise save teh cash get rid of the car/part out and find a cleaner one, its all about what you want to do really ..... just dont dump too much money or else you will regret it.

Wow, reminds me of my s14 two years ago when i was 16.. but not quite as bad. I recently got my rust fixed a couple months ago.

welcome I'm in Algonquin too Lakewood rd

psht body work isnt hard, cut out the old shit put inthe new, sand it paint it ur ready to go. geta welder and some sheet metal nd make that shit! nah bt really, its just time consuming and some people cant handle that shit.

Yea id try to do it urself, any shop w/o the hookups are gonna charge you up the ass..
