Here is prime example of 1) how not to fix a rust spot. 2) NEVER NEVER NEVER use plastic body fillers. I'm sure at one time this was a small hole or rust spot that was fixed with plastic filler (Bondo and the like). Plastic fillers attract water and hold it thereby rusting any and all unprotected metal underneath. Not to mention that this was a very poor repair job in the first place.

The guy that had the body shop next to my ex bro-in-laws used to prep cars for a auction house. For fast rust repair he used spray foam in a can. Beats welding up a hole anytime. He also used to stuff newspapers in the hole before spraying the foam.
Note: always check the body out with a magnet when buying a used car/truck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
