95 rust repair!

Here is some pics of the rust repair I did a few months ago. The car is tight and a much better car to drive now. Maybe it will last a while. I pulled the engine to replace it so I thought it was the perfect time to get in there for the rust repair. Some of my weld look great and some look like :shit . Mostly due to contaminated surfaces. The more I grinded the rust and undercoating the better the welds. I'm not a pro welder but have welded at work and a lot for myself and others.Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

I didn't rush on anything and just took my time. I had fun! I will next repair the rockers and a hole in the rear wheel well. The rockers can't be too hard to shape but someone had a link to new ones for $79 a pair (I think). After this is done I need to do the same thing to my 98 but don't know if I can do it without pulling engine/trans. :cheers

Looking good. I don't have rust to deal with on my Metro's (yet) but do have a project truck that needs some help, you guys are inspiring me to take on the challenge.

nice work! did you bend the patch piece before, or did you just weld and hammer?

The metal I used was thick, don't know how thick though. I pre-bent in vise then tacked on one end and hammered while hot. Then tacked and then fully welded.
