Rust Repairs
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2022 6:16 pm
Hi team, I live in Nelson BC, with a 1996 2.8 diesel super exceed.
After a poor inspection from a local mechanic I purchased my Delica with some major looking rust/corrosion around the front wheel wells on the frame, which is disappointing as I was aware of the rust issue with these older vehicles and mentioned it to the mechanic but still he missed it. Anyway, Im now in a position where I need someone else to take a look and see how bad the damage is and if it's saveable.
I believe this is a common issue and wonder if there are pictures on here or a thread/link available for me to look at and compare to, to help me see what is saveable and/or not.
From what I can see, the major rust damage is located around the front wheel wells. I can take photos tomorrow when its light.
Any input is welcome, thank you
Aaron.
