[Murda2000GTP]

I have some rust and was wondering if anyone with experience would know around how much this would cost to fix. I am trying to attach a photo so let me try this out.

[Murda2000GTP]

[beckys2000gt]

there ya go..................those were taken last week, since then it got a little worse since i took it through a carwash, lol

[Murda2000GTP]

ooooh that does look ugly. The estimate for all of that was around 300-400?

[beckys2000gt]

no, just for the stuff on my fenders, you dont even wanna know about the under the gastank!!! and the trunk? im not worried about it, im getting a new one.
and like i said before she was a DAMN good deal, a little bit of body work doesnt scare me

Oh ok nice. Ya I'm not liking the price of that fender work, but if I don't sell my car thats def. a priority before it spreads

curious how much they quoted you for under the gas tank. i need mine done eventually. also incude what they are doing for that price, obviously you need new metal but are they welding new metal on or glueing it on? and does it include priming, sanding, filler and paint?

Unless a panel is rusted through, you do not need new metal.

And holy ****, glue? Damn if they glued a piece of metal to my car versus welding it, I'd **** bricks and merk them all... with lasers.

Under her gas tank looks fine, some sanding, then depending how deep it is, filler, then sand prime and paint, it'll be fine.

This is coming through from the back side. "Fixing" this the way you mentioned will result in a temporary fix only, cosmetically. Without cutting all the rusted metal out and welding new in, it will come back in a short time period.

that the only spot???

[Murda2000GTP]

Its the only major spot. I have 1 or 2 very tiny spots that you can't notice that I would get taken care of at the same time.

[beckys2000gt]

shouldnt run all that much, all my spots are visible to like no end, lol

[silvermistgt2002]

[beckys2000gt]
