Gyoas759 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Not bad at all. You should see some of our east coast subies. You wont even need a sawzall to fix that rust. Nice car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indrid cold Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Not too bad and stoppable at this stage. Talk too your auto paint people for advice. My 2 cents: Here is advice I got from others on the site To treat rusted area use "Rust-Mort" basicly remove dirt, large chunks and brush on. Let it sit a day and do it again. Then primer over and paint, but better yet cover with "Pro-15" sealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 subaru_noob, that's not too bad. You should've seen the huge 5" X 6" or 7" hole that was rusted into the rear quarter panel on my '88 GL-10 when I got it. That wasn't fun to fix at all.

subaru_noob Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 yah right now i'm just looking to stop the rust and keep the engine going. as much as i'd like to take her out and do some offroading, she's gonna be a pavement princess until i can get something else for a daily:banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 that car is not a Idaho Car it's whole life i will be money on that. also, its POR-15 (paint over rust treatment, or paint on rust treatment) but for sure not a Idaho car, it was driven ioutside of idaho in salt land to get that rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru_noob Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 it actually was in mccall since '83 and they can get pretty bad about salting the roads (they get about 5' of snow a year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 this is an eastern subie, in the rust belt of mid michigan http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=fendercut.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levonspradlin Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 My 88 GL wagon is almost rust-free. I think that the car has eluded the rust monster by never stopping, the Blue Meanie has over 237k miles! I had a '56 Hudson that had a rust problem. I used a spray treatment that looked like primer, but it stopped the rust from spreading. It was like a cancer cure in a can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
