Structural/serious Rust Removal/treatment

[Ericjayrol]

Hey guys,

I've got some serious rust issues, I knew they were big but I didn't know exactly how big they were.

My mechanic told me I need to go to some special place that does like chassis repairs and construction or something because apparently its structural and needs to be engineered or something.

Another friend told me that any panel beater can do it, they cut out the rust and then weld a new plate over the spot, but I don't know.

I was wondering if maybe he was overplaying it or something, wondering if you guys had any ideas about how to deal with it or perhaps had any recommendations on what kind of place I need to take it to or an exact place you can recommend?

I don't want some bandaid solution or to cover it up, this isn't about making it pass pink slip or something, I want to do whats right to make the car the best it can be.

Doesn't look to bad from the pictures, looks mostly like surface rust. Take it to a panel beater and see what they say.

Pictures from underneath the car will reveal more I suspect.

I've got the same issue but I think mines much worse. If It's just surface rust then a panel beater should be able to fix it but if it is more serious then you'll have to get some chassis work done.

As Terry said, have a look under the car too as if you can see a little rust up top then there will most likely be more underneath.
