just be sure to cure the cancer(get rid of the rust)before you bondo

Bondo is a temporary fix. It will come back and it will be MUCH worse. The rust will typically just form right along the edge of where the bondo was placed. When I bought my Accord, the previous owner had both sides fixed with Bondo at a bodyshop, and within 6 months of owning it, it was back and awful. I've NEVER seen anyone use Bondo on the quarters and not had it come back within a year.

You'll never be able to properly blend the quarters with a DIY job either, unless you're a pro at knowing how to blend paint.

So yeah, it's a very very temporary fix. I know it sucks being 17 and having rust (I was there) but just save up for awhile (figure bank a few years of tax returns) and have it fixed properly, and then you'll have perfect quarters.

Hey jus be happy u got a job. Alot out there dont. Bondo is only a temp. fix as was said, but it will hold u over until u can get enough money to jus replace the panel itself. Good luck bro.

I'll make this short, sweet and to the point. Bondo is quite simply, a band-aid. While it works for now, unfortunately breakdown of the metal will occur again, the rust will come back, and it will be even worse. My only advice to you is to try and do it as best you can, the first time If you're going to go the filler route, look into a sealer called Por15. http://www.por15.com/whatispor15.asp Also, See my rust thread here: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=149541

It pretty much explains why bondo is FTL.

exactly

it just somewhat slows it down here is one that i had a lot of trouble with

here it is with bondo





not bad but the minute i hit the middle after a couple of months it comes right off





so i went with a permanent fix cut and weld but i finished it off with fiberglass that stuff is expensive but all and all 650 is what i wasted here is a current picture.
