Just bought a 1990 300zx NA auto 2 seater. Near the drivers-side door on the bottom end of the body there is some rust bubbling that turns into fullblown cancer near the wheel well.
I know that I need to grind away the cancer, but I don’t have a welder nor the money to pay to have this professionaly done. So I’ve put together the following options.
-
Cut out rusted out area from body. Treat with some kind of rust converter & rust stopper. Cut some sheet metal and apply behind the body with jb weld or some kind of wet weld and fill in from the front with fiberglass/bondo and try to reshape.
-
Cut out rusted area and treat then wet weld/rivert some sheet metal from behind again for some kind of stability and throw a side skirt over that will cover the area.
Opinions?
P.S. No mechanical/body work experience… but I’m feelin lucky!
