Where is the car most likely to have rust spots?

[deevergote]

I've seen some nasty rust hiding under the side skirts.


The rear quarters are by far the most common, though. 90% or more of the CB7s in the NorthEast have rust there. I've had mine repaired twice, and it's coming back a third time.

ya the rear quarter panals are natorious for rust on our cb's...other than that your probably good

bottom of doors... bad design allows water to sit inbetween the two sheets that make up the door. problem usually only if drain holes are plugged.

chek the rim around the trunk and the area along the base of the back windshield, but really if the quarter panels are good then you should be clear all around.

Having own several rusty ones before getting sick of them and getting one from Florida i can tell that the main rust area would be your quarter panels. Other than that, the trunk lid often has a lot. Check near the license plate lights, wing holes and even between the headlights. I would also make sure my floor is nice and clean before worrying about the body itself. Also check around your windshield, fenders and chassis behind them. Do not neglect anything. Rust is like cancel. Can be healed if spotted early but hard when it has spread.

if you did any body work than primer that area...but if you sand down your paint well its actully a good surface to paint on

Rear quarter panel is the most common.

But I have a little bit of rust beside my rear window molding.

most I have seen has rust spots on rear quarter panel.

make sure after its painted all the seals are on correctly or water will sit where it shouldnt and your car will be rusted in a year or 2
