    2G How bad is my rust? Anything that needs to be done urgently?

    Hi everyone, I got under my car for the first time and noticed some rust, I wanted to ask if there is anything that obviously needs to be fixed ASAP. To me it looks like everything needs to be replaced, to be honest, but I figured that's an overreaction. You must be registered to see element...

    2G Rear Rocker Rust Repairable?

    Hey I was hoping you guys could give me some insight on how bad you think the rust areas are on my rockers. I plan on getting a section from a non rusted 2g and welding it in place. If you guys have any tips and tricks to help motivate me that would be much appreciated. Doing this in my driveway...

    1G Rust areas

    I’m looking into possibly buying a 1GB eagle talon. It’s a 1993. I’m curious where major rust areas are on these cars. I’m not to familiar with the 1g’s compared to the 2g’s. Any help would be appreciated!- James

    Rust-proofing exposed undercar parts

    Yes, I know, there's no practical way to truly rust-proof anything on a car, but to the extent possible, how do folks rust-"protect" car parts that are exposed to the elements, especially on the underside? Most especially nuts and bolts, which get wrenched on during removal and refastening and...

    1G Derusting, cleaning, priming & painting underbody questions

    I'm in the process of derusting, cleaning, priming & painting my '92 Talon's underbody, e.g. control & trailing arms, knuckles, strut towers, diff carrier, subframe, etc., and was hoping for some advice on rust prevention once I'm done removing the rust and cleaning the parts.I've more or less...

    LASER RUST REMOVAL (group buy)

    Hey guys! I saw a video of a machine that can remove rust and paint down to pure bare metal ready for primer and paint in minutes, they are VERY expensive... DSM cars seem to either get crashed by kids or rust to death with time and fill up the scrapyard for parts, not showing their beauty on...

  10. Rust questions

    so I’m looking into buying a 1998 Eclipse GSX, and I’ve test drove it and everything and it runs smooth and shifts fine and everything is good except, it has rust. And I know rust is car cancer and you should for the most part steer clear of a car with it, but it’s a rare car for only 2500$ and...
