just put some skirts on. Wink

but seriously. grind that down, get rid of all the rust, primer it, then bring it to a body shop.

itd probably be cheapest to grind, use self-etching primer, then cover it with a side skirt though...

I already am planning on giving my car the type-x body kit treatment (have 3-piece rear valence already) but possibly debating a silvia front end, dont know yet. But, I kinda want to get other important mods before I finish the body. But, maybe I should just get the sideskirts. Time to search on ebay.

you have to grind it off and weld new metal onto that side, its the only way to fully rid yourself of that problem. i have a spot of rust about 2-3 inches under my car that i will patching sometime soon. i lucked out because it's under the car so all i have to do afterward is sealcoat it i don't have to worry about painting it.

cut out the cancer...

bondo is a band-aid

fiber glass is a band-aid

cut it out... the only thing you can do. then the repair is up to you, spend the money for a bodyshop to fab in new metal or just cover it with sideskirts

I think I am going to cut out/grind the rest of the rust and fill in the area with some type of foam. I will then mold the foam to the shape of the body. Then, weld in some metal to the flat spots, and then use this por-15 putty stuff for the curved spots. The stuff dries rock hard and it can be drilled through. Then, cover the area with kouki side skirts

por-15 is a rust killer/converter. I already used it on most of the rust on my body. I wasnt able to get to that part this weekend though

Cut it all away befor you sitting on it. Make a brace for you side skirts if you cant make one your self stop by a sheet metal shop theyll probably be cheaper than a body shop; unless your using them to install and paint your side skirts. just hussle
