Hi everyone, I'm new here.

This is my first car, 1994 LS from my aunt. I got it a couple weeks ago and it has a shitload of miles (upwards of 250k). I'm just working on the rust and cosmetics for now, as it can't have that much longer. Everything I do to it I want to be able to carry over to a newer teg that I'll buy when this one kicks it.

Before any repairs:

After stripping and applying "rust converter"

Evidently there was a swimming pool in the hatch at some point.. the jack food was completely rusted off and the bolt holding the spare down was rusted fast.

After sanding and some bondo

Welcome to Club Integra. That's the most rust i've ever seen on a daily integra :O. Good luck with your build!

Thanks! It's the terrible NE winters, salt everywhere. It was even garage kept for 8 years. Always well maintained, too.

Rhode Island. Hopefully this job will hold up until the car dies.

What are your plans for the car bro? full paint job?

I picked up a couple cans of the DupliColor Frost White. I'm thinking a good wax job will blend any fading from the old paint. Once it's all done, if theres any paint left over ill hit the side skirts and moldings as well as the front lip.

Thanks, guys. First rough layers of bondo on today. Pictures coming momentarily. I painted the spare wheel well with the rust inhibitor. After that I think I'm just going to put some primer on top.

 

[maltedbarley]

Done, save compound, polish and waxing.

Mine is currently super rusty - orange everywhere underneath the spare. I have no idea where water is leaking in from, but the jack and tools are pretty much useless now. WTF!?
