Yeah your probably right about that! There's just too much rust for my liking and experience. I think I might look for a shell then snap what's good over

Yeah what if I was in good nic. My roof is hail damaged go the max also Is it hard to put all the mechanicals into a car from scratch?

Ok guys Ive got a situation. My ke 30 is a pretty rusty thing. Well yeah the most serious rust seems to be around the front door hinges at the front where it's gone right through. Anyways If I were to get a decent shell with barely any rust and use that as my base would this be a better option as the shell will be just the shell. No engine etc

didnt know this thread existed!! i know they arnt aussie but I'm seeing wu tang in a couple of weeks,

if it was at mitcham id be there

So what's the difference between this rust converter and the 3m one I have! So I'm better off looking at a decent brand but second hand. Ok well what brands should I look at?. And what do you mean by the wire feed? Thanks heals guys

Ok thanks heaps. So my car is made of steel isn't it? Not aluminum? Is there much different between a cheap and expensive welder??

All that information is really helpful!! So a mig will be good to use when welding new steel into my ke30?

But you can't use migs on aluminum can you?

Yea cool. Well I'm going to look into a welding course then hopefully buy a welder. What type of welder should I be looking at. Mig?

ok sweet, i see what needs to be done, so i can't just go out, buy a welder and start using it, is that what you guys are all saying?? so even for little rust holes i should be cutting out the metal?? cheers

whats beg?? yeah i think i really need a welder with my rolla

So what all you guys are saying is I need to cut it out then weld some back in?? If that's my only choice to properly fox it. Where do I start when buying a welder? Thanks heaps

Yeah the door is off already so I can get to it pretty easy!! A lot of it's surface rust. But there are parts where it's atarted to go through. If i hack at it with a wire brush there's a possibility that it was all open up as we probably all no. Is this rust killer with touch up paint the the only method realistically speaking?

Hey guys. I was outside with the rolla tonight and found little rust spots around the door hinges where the bolt on to the body. There are some little holes where the rust has gone through? What options do I have? Can I just hit it with the grinder and leave it as it because it will get covered or will I need to bog of fibreglass it?? Any help will be appreciates. Cheers Fabz

awesome work guys!!! was good seeing it up close, top job with the paint work, hope for mine to come out just as good. fabz

hopefully a new imac, so i can use my old laptop in my garage with my ke30 and sit on rolla club while i work on it ;)

Ok I'm might have to look into getting new doors. Because I don't really want to pull the door apart. And that masking tape doesn't sound like it will last long. I don't think it was near a coast but yeah. Not entirely sure. It is an old car at the end of the day.

this is the inside of the rust along the bottom edge of the door this is the outside of the rust along the bottom edge of the door this are large areas on a door that i do not know what to do about, will i need a new door, or fibreglass, or a whole lot of rust converter??

thanks so much to all of you, i used the 3m today and it worked a lot better. the only thing is i have a lot of rust spots that are really rusted and yeah, its like old rust, its really thick, like what altezza said, what do i do about those spots. and also while i was sanding the doors today i realized that they have some major rust spots on that, the bottom of one door is that rusted you can nearly bend the metal, i will upload pics, i need help on how to fix this or whether i need to get another door.

No it's only a few tiny wholes. A radius of 2mm if anything. Ok sweet. I need to buy a drill too. Ive got wire brushes for now. But yeah I'll give all that a shot. Thanks a lot!

Ok sweet. That's all good then. Well basically whats happening is there is one spot on my boot where is has slightly Gone through. How should I go about this. Do I bog it or what? And all the edges ok the inside are pretty much rusted. Should I rust converter all that?

What are you saying then. So I Shouldnt be using it on my 78 rolla???? I bought the 3m rust converter and primer. It actually has instructions on it. And some guys on here said it's decent. So I'm gonna give it a shot tomorrow. I just don't understand. Does it get cleaned of after the curing time or does it get left on?

Hey guys. I'm searched the site and google and I can't get a clear answer. The can doesn't even tell you properly. This is what I did last week. Cleaned the area of surface rust then applied the rust converter. I just went to see how it's look and feels. And it's still really soft. And yeah. What do I do once it is applied?? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!
