* If You Love Ur Celica You'll Want To Check This Out *

Well guys this is what happen. I was taking the trunk area a part to make holes for putting the battery in the trunk. and I saw this....

after finding that ... I had a feeling that this simple battery swap was no more, so i did some looking around to see if there was anymore rust where I didn't see before. and this is what I found... if you look at the strut(at the top) there's some rust there it doesn't look bad in the pic, but its pretty bad. next thing I did was ripe the carpet up and check......... just like I thought, more rust.. when I lifted the rug .....man everyone knows what word comes to mind. it looks like some tard who thought he knew what to do with a jack and just put it under the floor pan and away. that was the front part right side of the car and this is the rear....
after seeing that I got to working stripping the floors, for prep...those we're just some of the midway done pics. after the first cleaning. An dremmber when I told you guys its going to get worse well here it is THE DRIVER'S SIDE !!! IT GETS BETTER....

And this is how I'm going to fix it.. THERE'S MORE COMING I'M NOT DONE............

If you've already got rust all the way through the metal then that chemical is too little, too late.
You need to put in new sheet metal.
The cheap way is to do the chemical treatment and then rivet sheet metal across the top (lots of rivets to make it strong).
The proper way is to cut out the rusted metal and weld in fresh sheet metal.

If the rust holes are minimal then a fibreglass repair kit will work but yours looks like it has gone beyond that stage.

^ Definitely.

Before I saw the pictures, I assumed you could sand the rust out/ coat it. However... yeah... might want to do what Stage suggested.

Unfortunately, the boys are right, you gotta cut out that cancer first, otherwise you're just wasting your time with the POR15.
