Thread: how to deal with rust.....

ok so i looked under my driver side rear wheel well on my nx and...WTF i see a hole that goes into my car...right under the rear speaker!!!!!wtf ...how can i prevent some **** like this from happening and spreading to the rear shock/stru towerr?also my rear drivers side seat belt has salt on it?(thanks to illinois winter) like it soaked up from the hole.....


btw...i can fit my hand inside the hole....






















i want a new nx ;(

Only thing i can think of is to deal/fix rust as soon as you find out about it. The cancer may never stop as long as there is salt every winter, but you can delay the perforation.


I know what you mean , when i 1st moved to South Florida from Chicago, both of my door jambs were rusted clean through, both of my under the front doors had rust holes .



I fixed both of the problems and it still delayed the infection.


As soon as i get some time i may do a writeup in the how to's.

ive got a couple pics somewere wner i got my car 2 years ago. one was from derember and the other pic was from march and the rust grew like 3x the size!!!!


im gonna gut the back of it and put some uh herculiner/rhino liner to try and prevent rust...maybe it will work...

you can try and spray it with some rust proof paint...if its inside the wheel well noone really looks in there.

ya noone looks in there but ME!!!and its disgusting...

im trying to restore it for my son.....hes only 4 months old now, but in 16 years it will be a gem!!!hopefullly...hehe

i have some rust on the body of my se-r. not alot but i had to sand it out and hit it with some rust killing spray paint. it came back but i did a crappy job last time.

tomarrow i will be scrubbing my wheel wells of any salt with degreaser. drying with 90psi of blow gun. then laying a healthy coating of zink rust killing primer, followed by half a can of under coating per wheel well.

what brand of under coating???i might have to do the conners inside my hatch....

just duplicolor sound deadening undercoat. i have noticed i can really hear any rocks my tires kick up really well and i had this planned for awhile now. i am trying to make my car as silent as i can.

just find where the rust is...san it down to get the rust off..i would use a 200-250 grit and wetsand it..just fill up a bucket with water and constantly keep the paper wet...and once you get it off from in the wheel well just clean off all the water and let it dry..then hit it with some good quality rust proof paint, i would do about 2-3 coats.

me too quite is good.....
