The rust is eating away at the metal....the best repair will be to cut out that rust and weld in new panels. Sent with the power of children's screams!!! |

If you have the budget have it body repaired. For tight budget apply some turco rust converter and seal it with a primer paint. |

both sides are already done and the rust converter wouldn't have done anything as you can see from the pictures it was completely rotted. The repairs have held up perfectly so far |
