Magic Rust Repair

[sommmatt]

So it's been forever since I went out and worked on my car. I'm storing it at my parent's friend's place in Essex (which is like half an hour away), and they have a garage with a hoist there and that's where I do all my work. I had done a bit of rust repair, and wanted to gauge how much more would need to be done, so I went out there to see what the dealio was. Looked under the car, and saw this.



My frame rail magic'd itself back together?! There honestly wasn't a lot there before this, a big hole the size of a baseball and it was all orange.

I guess all i can say is my parent's friends rock. i'm assuming he got bored of working on his own car, so as something to do, he went to work on mine. A few of the spots that needed some bondo were done up too.

Sick!

btw I know it's blurry, all I had on me was my cell, and this was in the middle of the county with no lights and it was freezing out.

That is sooo cool of them.

Hell yes it is.

I figure I'll post this too. Video of the engine starting up first try after sitting for a few months. 117800 km KA24E.

Lucky u. I just found out my car got a rust spot now in the rocker panel now. Hopefully if I do bondo, hope it last one more year or two

Matt, you're such a d!ck. Can my car get parked at this shop for some magic frame repair from the frame fairy? Pretty please?!

[sommmatt]

lmao, not if you call him a frame fairy, I'm pretty sure you'll get your *** whooped with a big piece of angle iron.

Sweet, I wish someone was bored enough to do some of the welding on my 240.

[sommmatt]

So I finally managed to throw the car up on the lift and get a good look of the frame repair.



DAMN!

To give you guys an idea of the quality of work this guy does, check out his project car...



And the powerplant is a V6 SHO with a matching paint job. Very talented guy. Couldn't ask for someone better to help me with the Nissan.

I must say that is some good frame work he did there. Only a handfull of people get lucky with freebies. Im in the process of repairing the front left frame rail. Its not pretty on mine.

[spolitte]

Man, that is awesome. Looks like this guy does some very good work. Hope you bought him a nice bottle of whiskey or something? Anywho, I agree with Progman, can I park my car at your house for a winter? ;p

that is true workmanship! Kudos to your parents friend. I'm hooking myself with a welder to learn this for myself. Coolbeans!
