Rt104 Corona

[SLO-030]

Without seeing the size of the holes, its a bit hard.

 

But maybe some fibreglass matting, resin and some of the really fine aluminium mesh they sell in paint shops and remake the section from fibreglass if you can.

another option would be to cut another piece of metal the same size as the hole. then using stuff called

'panel glue' tough as nails once on there that bit of metal aint never gonna come off.

do this after properly cleaning and treating the area.

also brush some 'kill rust' paint or something similar.? this stuff is a moisture curing urethane perfect for preventing rust from ever reforming.

dude best choice buy a cheap mig and some light gauge panel steel wire and weld new pieces in , talk to mungi mods for the best info on how to do this

cheers

I saw this old as video on youtube a while back, I can't find it now but he had wire mesh, like the fly screen stuff, and laced teeth floss through it, poked the mess through the hole(holding onto the floss) then pulled on the floss to pull the mesh back and flush with the metal, then pulled the floss outwards and taped it to the panel on each side of the hole! Then bogged it up as usual over the mesh! The moral behind this story is use flossing stuff

:(

ok bad news ive decided that the corona has a bit to much rust in the body but all the driveline is good hmmmmm

 

but after doing a motorkhana today ive thought of making a special like these.......

 

 

 

 

hmm what ya think guys i reckon it would go alright and it would have parts of corollas and ronas lol :lolcry:

 

so that means parts are up for grabs if ya want any parts of the rona just let me now and we can decide on prices :happy:
