Major Rust Damage - HELP?

[hadjii]

Hey everyone. So my 1984 has some major rust damage over the rear wheel wells. Im not in a position to do a major repair or replacement finanically and live in a rainy climate.

anyone have any tips for preventing further loss to rust or good place to get replacement panels, or super secret bondo magic?

thanks much

i dunno if this is outta your budget. but they are an Awesome easy solution if you can afford it.

they are 175$ each.

otherwise... what i would do.. is cut away the rusted parts and fiberglass it myself if you don't need it to look perfect. you can do all the work for like 40$ worth of materials... just look up and read as much on how to glass as possible so you get decent results.

toyotafiberglass-keepin' the drive alive is a good site.

a little pricey but GREAT stuff.

Short term, POR15, weld in new metal or similar. Do not put anything absorbent in there as it will just make it worse. No tape, foam, goop, etc.
