Okay, the MINI my wife bought a couple of weeks ago that was going to sit
for a year or two is now fully stripped.....(I waited two days, honest !)
Can anyone please give me some hints on doing rust repair ? I'm new to this
type of thing in cars.
After a chunk of rust is cut back to good metal, a patch has to be put in
place. The patch I assume goes UNDER the panel surface ? Brazed on and
ground down the filled, sanded etc ?
For things such as floor pans that get carpet, does the patch still go under ?
I plan on cutting out the old, and cutting out the new patch about 1/2"
bigger all around, pop rivet it in and then call my welding buddy. Is this
okay ? Yes, I'll use metal rivets...
Thanks, Pat
