rust

[A18A]

look what i just found while preparing car for wof :@

and after i knocked out the loose shit:


now how can i fix that? i know body filler aint gonna work, and were i got metal putty dont sell it anymore i could try my last trick (which didnt work to well) which was put something behind the metal, glue it there some how and put body filler over that o.O and also how do i remove that window surrounding thingy? i had to just bend it up its like superglued there and i cant pry it off cause the wiper is in the way, even when i took the wiper off, the squirter and wiper thing was still in the way. and cause i dont wanna chip the window i don't care if its a shitty job, as long as its unseen and protected from water getting in there

This will sound cheesy, but I had a old VW Bug a long time ago with a lot of rust, we took a soda can cut it open and rivited a piece down where the rust spot was and then used bondo over that, not the best way to fix it but at the time it was cheap and easy thing to do

[A18A]

i was actually thinking of something very similar just gotta find the riviting tool thingy o.O

[A18A]

well i decided to do what you said as it was alot better than my cardboard idea


just gotta put a bit more on after it drys, then file it down and vwola

[REn0]

GOOD JOB cheap yay!

[Pico]

Cool nothing better than a cheap easy fix

[AccordB20A]

lol its not lie thats a bad place for rust on these accords are lokey at what shd be here and what isnt anymore...it totally rusted away... thats why i failed my wof ppl: : : :







gunna cost me $300 to fix i cant be stuffed doin it mysef. but the rest of my boot rubber lining is made of bog aswell shh nt too loud DAMIT

[JakeEXLS]

Thats a good job overdosed - well, from a DIY point of view lol. Congrats!

Haha im gunna have to do my whole boot like that if it gets discovered at a wof

[AccordB20A]

its a right penis how ALL accords rust out there

[JakeEXLS]

Sure is... yours look pretty nasty!

[AccordB20A]

so i may have went ott with the grinder but yeah ill sort it and my car wil have a wof again

[A18A]

all thats left now is filing it down and maybe painting it, i wont if the seal covers it, just a waste of paint then, plus it would look rather ugly since i refuse to pay $3.50 for 1 piece of sand paper :@ as long as the old blind-ish wof man is there to inspect the car it should be good as long as they dont discover the fat hole in the floor :S

[AccordB20A]

what a maori man but at least u have a chance of passing a wof with it

[JakeEXLS]

Yeah dont let any WOF people discover the rust, or else you will have to pay $$$ to have it professionally fixed - with proof before they will pass you

[Cheeseburger]

good job bro!

[A18A]

wow is that what wof peoples down there are like :-/ i know of a guy up here who fixes rust problems etc. for cheap-ish, but when he fixed the hole in my sisters civic, it just flew thru the wof station :-/ they just checked if it was fixed and next thing ya see dem putting the wof sticker in the window :O

[mkymonkey]

so it's a safety inspection? do you have to go thru this yearly?

[A18A]

yeah its a saftey inspection, unless its one of them dodgy places which let you get away with a un-safe car but ya needa new wof as soon as you get cought without one, or as soon as it expires, which ever pleases you on these old cars i think they last about 5 months or so

[ESDEEZ]

what does it stand for? we in the uk go through a MOT that stands for ministry of transport!

[A18A]

warrant of fitness, you will see it if you scroll up, but im like you and too lazy to read through it all :P

WoF - Warrant of fitness

Cars under 6 years old have to go for a WoF Check every 12 months. Cars over 6 years old have to go for it every 6 months.

A lot of Garages can issue WoFs, but there are also more offical places that issue them for a job. With these you dont have to book, you just rock on up there and wait in line.

The inspectors have a checksheet to go through on all the important aspects of the operation of the car. Then if nothing is wrong, or after faults are fixed and a recheck is done, the WoF sticker is placed on the top right hand corner of the windscreen:
Outside VVV

Inside ^^^





Yes i was bored and waiting to go out.....
