Rust ... The Evil Part of owning a car

[1dvsbstd]

its best to cut it out ,weld a plate in, sink the plate slightly and lead wipe it but filling with lead and file finishing these days dosent get practiced much, so body filler is ok, do it properly the first time and treat the cause of the rust and it wont come back dont waste your time just filling it because it will bubble up in no time.

cheers mate

it really depends how deep the rust is, you mentioned rust remover, well if its just surface rust it may well be worth sanding / wire brushing it out until it resembles metal again, rust converting it, which makes it deozidized ie, not rust, then just coat it with rustprep or something like that, just my opinion, cutting out stuff that doesnt need cutting out sounds mighty rough to me
