today repaired a friends car ..


1st step : removed all rust as much as possible with sander and by a screw driver





2nd step


I asked a friend to prepare a small amount of fiber to fill the gap (you can prepare yourself its easy- only buy components and mix them)



3rd step


I used the fiber like normal bondo and fill the area and shape up before it dries (it has a hardener in it)


4th step


after it dried I sanded the area and used a tiny amount of white bondo to fill small holes on the fiber


5th step


mask the car and paint with epoxy inside out



6th step


after 3-4 hours  remove the masks carefully





7th step


wait 2-3 days ,  wet sand the primer  , then paint it

It will be back.

It will be back. 

upon inspection , I have seen that the inner cover was folded and was far from protecting the metal part..  after the paint is complete inner parts will be covered with aluminium  as originals are crap..

Epoxy paint is very good, been using some recently on one of my other projects

The rest of the car will rust to bits but the epoxy will still be good
