[size=9]hmm ill admit i am a bit of a dumbass
i dunno how hard it is to get rust out of panels floor etc.
the only rust repair that i did was 3 months ago when i just put some KIll rust paint on a tralier.
um please can somebody tell me how hard it is and if there is a better place to have rust (when buying that is)


thanks
Caponix

you just cut it out/remove the panel and weld in a new one..
there are heaps of repair panels, they're easy to get and cheap..
it is a british car after all

like umm.....how "cheap" we talking here?

like $100
more.....
Less......

less than $100 aud

oh ok
but its kind of inevitble with my budget that i will get a mini with "some" rust so wheres iit best to have ( even though none is best)

its best not to have it in the seams

um......ok
you mean the door seams right?

Nup - he means the seams that make up the joins between the roof and the rest of the car, along with the 4 seams running down each corner of the car. this is where the major body panels meet and if rust gets in there it can be exy to repair.

All panels can be repaired, but as a general rule, the flat panels are the cheapest, the harder the access to a panel the more they cost to repair.

i dunno....
rusty floor pans...theyre easy enough. can get new ones for thirty dollars

alota minis that i saw when buying had rusty sills.

these are the parts just under the door, running between the wheels...that can be chopped and replaced...then paint over with black sound deadener..rough bottom car surface look..
tho some people prefer to paint it the same colour as their car.
