Repairing Bad Roof Rust with Bondo

Post by negativentropy »

Maybe this will be useful for anyone with a similar problem or is hesitant to do body work. This was my first time doing rust/body repairs. It was straightforward, its a very forgiving process. Its not perfect, but itll stop the rust, so good enough for the girls I go with!

Nice work. I just had this done on mine as well, but they welded the panels that they cut, and it definitely cost a pretty penny.... but I have no idea how to do body work :(

For anyone out there, this WILL happen to your car, this is a guarantee, especially in Canada where you have high humidity. I strongly advise anyone who hasn't seen this bubble through yet to take down the front headliner (it's actually pretty easy, unlike the rear) and go inspect that crossmember, and address this BEFORE you need to slice the roof.
