Metal/Rust Repair

[jongier]

I have some minor rust and metal deteriorsization, going on under the rear fender, and back bumper, I'm not so worried about the bumper so much because I have the 89-93 stillen kit, so that will all be prepped and fixed before installation, but as for the other portions I'm fairly conserned. This car is something I really want to restore, I love the make and model, and well I already have the car and kit, so I'm not too interested in finding another 89-93 Max. So for those who have taken there car to the shop for auto body work, how much did it normally cost you? I was hoping to take your views and my own quote from the shop here in town and compare. Some people may think this is stupid but for those who don't I would love some input. Thanks.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, except some of the inside fender is intirely missing in an area about 2 inches long. And right above the rocker panel there is some rot in a crevace, which I'm scared of. I just want to do the job well, I would rather spend the money on it and get it professionally done, rather than spend the time and money DIY and having the rust come back in 6 months to a year. I'll end up DIY I bet lol.

when it comes to rust i almost ALWAYS say sandblast it, then PPG Epoxy Primer before the paint
