cut and weld is the only proper way, or sandblast ---

my perfect way would be sand that shit off with high grit, wipe off the sand dust, spray some acid onto that shit, than melt it a bit with a torch, than prime and paint, as for now, i just sand off the shit and prime it, seems to hold up for small dings and shit ---

Cut the rust out and weld in galvanized steel, it may cost a bit more than regular sheet metal but its worth it, you can use stainless steel but stainless is hard to weld with sheet metal, plus galvanized is lighter. depends on what kind of rust youre talking about, I just got my 240 this week and I have to replace some parts of the floor board, mainly the passenger side rear seat mount since it kinda fell through the floor. ---

Yeah the best solution definetly depends on the situation. Rusted floorpans are different then rockers which are different then rusted body panels which are different then rusted frame rails … More specific questions will last longer without locking in the technical section.
