[ewd469]

hey guys,Im new to nico and i've got a question about my 240. I have plans to do a gradual build for an amazing time attack car. I was ripping my car apart and this is what i found, im new to body work so i'd appreciate your advice any tips and tricks to get it looking clean and mean. this is a pic of my frame rails when by rear bumper is removedi need to know if this is okay and just spray my rust bullet inside or does that mean my frame rails are finished.also here are some pics of holes in the floors, i know i need to patch them up, do you guys have tips. i plan on going with no interior so i want it clean.also do you guys have tips for fixing this hole.thanks for your help, sorry im new to bodywork and i dont want to use bondo, i want to do it right the first time.

i wouldnt say project stopper but it is pretty bad

[AZ89two4Tsx]

rust is bad.

[maj Andres]

rust is bad.

how contributing

[Didderson]

Definitely not a project stopper. Could be worse man. Have someone weld new metal in for ya.

Not a project stopper, but a minor c*** blocker.

Cut and weld my friend. Get used to it!

[ewd469]

im mostly worried about the frame rails. will they be good.

[Shayl]

seeing how you are from calgary, I would most definatly keep it.

As you probably know, s13's are not the easiest to come by in better shape.

you should be fine, replace what can be easily cut out (floor pan), you should be fine.

no your def fine, take down what u can with a wire wheel and weld a new piece in there! all better

[OM3GA]

Lol i dont think id even look in there, and if i saw that i wouldnt be too worried, unless i felt alot of unwanted flex or something.. You should be fine maybe try to sand what you can fix the holes and paint over it with some kind of rust preventing paint.

Not a project stopper. Weld in some new metal and you'll be fine

If you have access to anyone with an outdoor sandblaster you could stick the nozzle up those frame rails, It would clean that rust up no problem, blow the sand out with compressed air when finished. Dont know how far up in there you could get any paint to stick though.

thanks guys, just checking so i know its good before i get deep into the build, and throwing cash into this thing.

[Stripes]

Spend $50 and make this your new best friend

....then a welder of course. You'll be fine.

Supposedly POR15 works great.

[MyNISMO314]

i got a hole exactly where you do and one under the drivers seat...aint s*** stopping me mang...thats small stuff

[Ghast]

How determined are you?

[hbpignosePA]

nope not at all

but make sure u fix it correctly; and do it before you buy anything else for it

i had the same spot rotted on mine by the pipes; check my link in my sig for inspiration

my rails werent that bad... had one spot that i replaced underneath

good luck

POR15 is the s***. For sure the best paint out there for killing rust. I had a 61 Karmann Ghia as a project and I had painted the floor pans with POR15. Then it sat out in the yard with a constant 3 inches of water sitting in the pans for about 4 years. Still no rust at all.

If you're being serious, then that my friend is some s***. Isn't it like $130 a gallon though? How much did you use on the on the floor pans?
