AgentZ Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey there, I recking this is signs of cracking or flexing. or is it just rust? http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/8346bottomdoor-med.jpg http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/8346doorframe-med.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 The first one is in the same spot as a factory seam, looks like someone has bondo'd over the seam and it's cracked. Not sure about the second, though in that position it's probably more likely to be rust related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 The second one looks like mine when I got it.. From what I could tell, it was a repair job from years ago. To me, it looks like the whole quarter panel may have been replaced, and the same thign done there; bondo'd over but now it has cracked. If you're gona do a body job, you may find a few difrent colers on that panel. My white car was repaired with a quarter panel from a red/purple car from the looks of things..

johnc Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yup, someone bondo'd over existing seams and the bondo has cracked. The crack occured either from rust underneath (bad) or the crack let water in and now the rust is starting (less bad). It doesn't appear to be anything urgent but it will need to be stripped and fixed at some point. It looks like there's a lot of bondo on the rocker panel in the first picture so my guess is that they bondo'd over rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
