I picked up this vert from rcdan as a daily while I finish my S14 but turns out I'm having fun driving this thing so I started fixing a lot of body damage... I HATE RUST WITH A PASSION! okay now onto pictures...Here's the car as it sits in my garage.I've been dremeling and sanding for over 5 hours... There was a huge rust patch above the windshield so I started ripping things apart and cutting.On the rear quarter panel, there was also some rust which I assumed was quite minor, until i started digging in a little further... OMGZ BIG HOLE!

And here is the driver behind the wheel...I'll keep my identity hidden... har har har.

So you can see.... I have to battle the rust monster, thankfully the underbody is A OKAY! It's only those two major spots, and then theres the driver side strut tower where theres only minor rust. I plan on cutting one off a shell and welding it on.

Oh and here's some teaser pictures on whats sitting in the driveway ready for work... btw, both are stick duh, the 350z has a full carbon fiber front end, the s14 has jdm aero.

My vert was originally a jersey car. It was chock full of rust on the undercarriage. I spent an entire weekend a few years ago replacing floor board to fix the jersey road chems.

Yeah, these Jersey roads are terrible. I really shouldn't be doing body work now though... I have my finals coming up in a week... oh well. Anybody know where I could get a good rust solvent that hopefully is in a can or brush on that won't damage paint? I want these holes patched up within the next 2 weekends.
