If you have friends that are good at welding and body work then go for it, shouldnt be too hard for your friends to clean up.

just go read the NICO's official rally car build thread. It has lots of great info on how to cut out the rust, and weld the patches on.

sorry guys been really busy! i thought this was just gonna be one of the threads that you skip while browsing lol. so a little update will do i guess. i cut away most of the rust, was a little worse than i had anticipated. i removed the interior and found more rust on the floor pans. but hopefully this week it will be taken to local BOCES class, my brothers a former student and good friends with the teacher, hes going to bring it in and hopefully fix the rust rust issues. it took me about 3 weeks to get the damn downpipe off(work and classes). it was rusted to the point where i broke the bolts off the thing and it just fell off lol :] hopefully i can either order a new downpipe or find one on here for cheap(anyone have one email me [email protected])i have to order a new header gasket as well. any constructive criticism would be great. just dont be mean lol :]
