My lower quarter panels are completely rotted. I would just cut and fold them if there was anything to fold! Obviously I have to cut out all of the rust, do I need to replace it with more sheet metal or could bondo do the job? It's at the point where you can look up from the outside and see the inner trunk insulation/carpeting. Pics to come.

 

You want to do it right or do it wrong? New metal needs to be put back where old is removed..

 

x2 very little bondo should ever be used... Only to straighten very slight waves. Never to fix and patch holes. It will pop

 

Bondo as in their filler or their fiberglass sheets?

 

fiberglass is still a poor excuse of a fix. Use metal, do it right. Im just trying to save you money and future headaches, trust me.

 

Not me!, I was asking a question. Lol. I've done too much bodywork to know what can and can't be done where.

 

Alright. I'd like it to look clean, so I'm probably going to take it to a pro. I'm not nearly familiar enough with bodywork to tackle this.

 

wasnt accusing you!! Ive done plenty of body work myself, i understand! Just looking out for the PO

 

If there is nothing to cut and fold possibly cut and weld some sheet metal in place to seal it off possible idea feel like trying to bring It back to the factory quarter panel look would be little bit more difficult

 

Fill er' up with great stuff, sand it flat, put some joint compound on it. Sand that smooth. Rattle can it. Done deal! Lmao I actually did that on my old 92 civic

 

No no no no

He'd trying to STOP rot, not incubate it.

 

Sorry out some of this on there

 

No problem.

 

Take some pictures of the rust.

 

Rocker panels are all rusted out on my focus.. Slapped a can of flex seal I had laying around on there and will weld something up in the spring
