  1. Lol, I ment 2,300. I'd sell him my sister for 23,000.
  2. Ok, thanks. The local Mechanic said he would give us $500 but my brother-in-law thinks he can get $23,000. Heck, If it's only $500, I might buy it from them and try and retro fit the brat.
  3. "Cancer" is a term for rust that has eaten all the way through the metal just as "retard" is a term for turning back your timing. What do you refer to them as across the pond?
  4. Sorry, I guess it's a rod bearing, that is going out. It's my sister's car. I'm just trying to get rid of it for her.
  5. In body work, you are suppose to cut out all the cancer. If I did that with this tailgate, I would have nothing left...
  6. Here it is painted and welded back together. You can see where I cut out the cancer and added some sheet metal. and again here This will have to be fiberglassed A closer look at the welds, already partially done. You can see some ofthe finer work that still needs to be done
  7. missing the photos where I stripped, sanded and applied the fiberglass...
  8. A good look at the cancer This hole was later fit with a peice of sheet metal The two halfs cut apart If you look close you can see more cancer
  9. Anyone that has fixed up a Brat has come across the conundrum, "Do I buy a new tailgate or fix the one I have?" I went with the latter. Was it the right step? It was for me, but I was bored. Below is the 12 step program I created, so you can see if it's worth it to you to repair your tailgate. I also added a few pictures. Unfortunatly I'm missing a few pictures in the middle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Step 1. Take out the components, of the tailgate Step 2. Separate the two shells by cutting them with a grinder. (you can also unfold the edges and drill out the tack points, This is just the way I did it.) Step 3. strip the paint (you wan't access to rump roast much rust as possible) Step 4. use a wire wheel to take off all the rust Step 5. Hit the bad spots with navel jelly Step 6. Paint with rust stop. step 7. hit the cancer with fiberglass ( I used netting and covered it in resin, as the whole top half of the tailgate was getting thin.) Step 8. weld together (Careful when welding. If you get carried away, you will catch the fiberglass on fire ,and then you will have to recover the, now black carbon covered fabric.) Step 9. grind welds. (Careful not to burn back through the metal) Step 10. Fill body dents with filler, and fiberglass any remaining holes. ( I also used sheet metal to cover the biggest of the holes) Step 11. Paint with rust stop again. Then with color of choice Step 12. Re-install components * Step 13. Have a beer
  10. Need to know how much a 1999 Legacy is worth. It runs and drives, but it has a bent rod. 172,000 miles
