i heard soo many times to not use Bondo to TEMP FIX RUST..

but if urs does okay im going my small rust spots 2 =)

mine turned out pretty good, i mean yeah its not the best for long term rust repair but it gets the job done to get it looking good and pass inspection. i put so many layers and shaved it off to smooth it out so it took me some time, its real strong tho.

yea those pics are huge!! had to zoom out to 50% to see it. Good job on the rust repair. I remember there was a DIY rust repair a while back idk if its still there.

thats exactly why i did this,

thats the bondo i used, relativly cheap. also have some sandpaper and sand it down first and i used a electic sander after i bondoed the hole, then bondo then electic sander and so on till i was happy with it. then i just used 10 dollar spray paint for cars the depot stuff from pepboys to match the color as closley as i could to my car. cheapest way out and not bad. its nothing professional tho

Damn all i need is an Electric Sander!

remember that bondo absorbs water. if this is on there very long, it will be much worse than if you had just left the rust exposed.

as long as you're just doing this to pass inspection, it'll be fine for a bit. but i suggest you save up and get that rust delt with before it gets worse. like someone already said, bondo absorbs water. so just save up to have some new metal welded in and you'll be good.

[91project]

yea i understand i just did it to pass inspection and to make it look better for now, but bodywork is mad inspected so what i will do is prob cut out a peice from anouther cb7 and weld it in myself. like what you said 2000 for bodywork and no paint hahah not worth it to me. rather be fast and look bad.

Yikes... Id never do that IMHO.. .do it right the first time, get sheet metal in there! It will look much cleaer when its done properly.
