Fixing rust in the back wheel well

[simactive]

Is this really worth to fix i want to, to prolong the life of my CB7. I live in the Toronto area, and if anyone knows of ppl who can fix this for a good price then im all game.


its starting to beome winter here, Or in Windsor and surrounding area would be good.

I figure i was going to get this car oil sprayed once agian and then deal with everything in spring fall maybe

It's up to you whether it's worth fixing. In my opinion it is worth it, just make sure it's done properly to prevent it from happening again in a year or two. I don't know anyone around your area that I would reccomend but just make sure you go somewhere that you know will do a good, thorough job fixing it.

hmmm, i know its worth it. but its the cost of it and then i have to repaint the area and such. Also find the place is the problem. becuase i haven't had to hve body work done on any car since this is my first car.

I'd say just look around, and try to find some references in the area. It's hard to find a trustworthy shop these days (so it seems) at least in my area. But if you do research and ask around I'm sure you'll get some helpful info.

thats what i was hoping for here haha, since i saw some ppl from CND.

Definetly worth it if you do it yourself. Good learning experience. Best of luck and take your time!

I'd have a hard time getting any shops to actually work on mine, never mind do a decent job and not charge me my life savings. But mine is 100x worse, so you should have much better luck.

I'm packing on miles so fast, and the progression of rust is almost nonexistent, so I haven't made it a priority.

If only i knew how to weld, the only think i woudl really be doing is grinding/ sanding everything down and then possible filling it with the stuff which is suppose to dry like metal from CND Tire. haha, I need to take off the back bumper which i haven't had time to do, and is it hard?

[Otto]

Yeah, I can stick weld pretty good. Never tried my hand at MIG or TIG.
Winters coming fast, so I'm just gonna throw down some expanding foam, sand, and paint, till I get to do something better. I'm more concerned with getting the winter wheels/tires on.

ahahah least u got some experiance welding i got ZERO haha, amnn behind my bumber in the wheel wells those slots rusted out thatst about as bad is it gets also bu the windshield and door handles where they got scratched, my friend didn't take that good care of this car... ah well yea i running some old Kumhos i had, back tread is almost dead hopefully i don't spin out on the 401 or anywhere. i was trying to get them to put on my old pretege tires for the back at least to have some good tracktion but their like noooo its dangerouse their like 2mm large in DIA, and there are no CV joints in the back so i dont see a problem

VO tech class? is that like a welding class?

The costs to fix that is very reasonable at Maaco. I had the identical problem with my car and Maaco repaired mine. I don't know if the chain is located in Toronto. If not, you may wish to find the nearest location in the states near you or just check local shops in your area. I wish you the best.

[tunerman]

one word, bondo.

[simactive]

Hmm wow there are Maaaco's in Canada thats new to me i always thought they were only in the states... hmmmm, wooo ill go check next wkend haha. thanks.
