Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

Just ordered 4 R1 Eline Rotors (blanks) that come with 8 ceramic brake pads, and also ordered new brake shoes cuz mine are worn out. Total came out to be $183.19, pleased with that price!

This hole is scarring me.

I'm gonna get rid of any rust that I can, fill it with bondo and prime it with rustoleum, then paint with red rustoleum.











Also just ordered black caliper paint.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

Filling it with bondo isn't the way to go about it. All the rust needs removed/cut out and new metal welded in.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

you know rustoleum doesn't get RID of rust?

grind it out to clean metal, prime with self etching primer, fill with fiberglass/bondo, sand, prime, paint, .. il tell ya from experience, that area will be FILLEd with rust.. just don't touch it.

Ok so take out as much of the rust as I can and fill it? What can i put in there to hold the bondo while like filling?
 


Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

they have mesh for that stuff..

metal is best..


but you are gonna open a CAN of worms.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

There is gonna be a lot more rust in there than you think. Could be your whole corner of your rocker is gone. I started tapping on mine with a screwdriver one day and ended up with about 2-3 pounds of my car laying on the ground.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

I mean this hole literally just opened after this winter. It is solid as far as i can see, where there isn't paint bubbling.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

poke really hard with your finger and see how big the hole gets.
 


Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16
