Rust
« on: Aug 27, 2003, 12:11:19 am »

  I'm fixing my 84 GT-S body and repainting it, but what is the best way to remove rust, yes I know cut-it out, but that is not an option right now. I have removed the rutst the best I can how can I now stop it from spending  and rerusting the areas I have fixed?

I do not have a welder so cutting welding in pieces I cannot do, plus some area are in tight area or hard to shape metal pieces(like around the rear lights and gas filler area.
Are these so-called rust converter and good or are they a waste of money.
Does Fiberglass over  rust prevent any more rust by removing Oxygen from the metal surface.

       I'm a poor college student that is trying to make the car last a few(2-3three years)more years and look good, not perfect but good plus I'am staying with black which shows every minor imperfection :(

Anything would help.

Rust converter is legit stuff. Just make sure you are getting the good stuff and not some cheap stuff. I have done some research into the stuff and it looks like it works great.

What i did on my hatch was i ground of all the rust to bare metal then sprayed Anti-Rust stuff on the spot, added a layer of bondo to fill in the grounded down area and to keep weather away from the rust... then i primered it and repainted the hatch to match the rest of my paint. Now you cant even tell it ever had a rust spot.

POR 15 makes some really good products. I however have just been using a dremel and spraying undercoating on the area. It keeps everything away from the surface, even air.
