i remember a site somewhere, buggered if i can find it :dance: about all the spots that rust on a ke70, like the fuel cap, the guards, and the boot lip, etc.

 

anyways, i'm about to get myself a new boot lip rubber seal, but i want to fix up the rust patches first, and i dunno how...

 

can i bash the rust out (its held there by paint) and patch the hole with a stratco fibreglass kit? and sand it, paint it, etc?

 

or do i need to do it more professionally, and get some steel in there, and weld it or whatever? the hole will be about the size of a 50 cent piece.. well, both of them...

 

will post pics later tonight so you guys know what i mean.

 

i really wanna fix this one myself, and don't want it to rust any further :D

 

any help would be great.

Aww... It isn't THAT bad... The bog job on Pinky (yes, the entire rear guards of the car were made of bog) lasted a good 18 months before any rust started to show through. And even then it was only in tiny bits and pieces, easily ground back and replaced with more bog :dance:

It does really depend on how long you intend to keep the car for, and how well you want it fixed, and how much time/money you have. If you want it fixed properly and want it to last, a weld in job is definately on the cards. If the car is a freebie and you really couldn't care less if it broke next week, then dodgy it up.

so how do i do it that way?

 

i like dodgy :dance:

 

 

same steps as the welding thing?

as i said, the hole is going to be about the size of a 50 cent piece on the boot lip

Dodgy - as dodgy as you like. Fibreglass, bog, newspaper, whatever.

is pinky a white ke30 with friggin pink bits all over it, by any chance?

no

No, Pinky was pink.

lol... someone owned my car and had a pink fetish, so the rocker cover

fuel press regulator, bits of wire, jack, wheel spanner and more stuff

was painted in pink... all getting removed at da moment :P

Hehe... Fair enough. Pinky was actually red, with a pink pearl. Looked pretty cool actually. But no, nothing apart from the actual body had any resemblance to pink.
