Proper rust repair - look away if you're squeamish

[k222bye]

I picked up a Toyota Celica VVTLI a few months ago and the thing was in a bad state. I finall got round to tackling the rust which would be an MOT failure due to the nature of the location.

 

This isn't a professional repair, just me having a go. Ive had some experience with MIG welding before.

 

Anyway i cut the rust out but it just got more and more. A tiny bubble revealed all this.

Going to treat it with HAMMERITE rust reverse, then weld new panels in. Grind down, use fibreglass body filler, filler primer and finally paint and clear coat.

 

Only way to properly repair rust unfortunately.

If u ever spot rust get it asap. Or this will await you.

That's quite nasty. My Supra had it pretty bad under that duct in front of the rear wheels so it's worth popping that off and having a look.

Yeah rust freaks me out. Its like cancer. Only rust I've spotted on the Supra is round the boot where the rear glass is. Typical really l. Other than that its been waxoiled since its been imported. And done recently too. This Celica is really bad. Will most likely turn it into a track car. This is just to pass the Mot
