zfever Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hi guys, I don't know what you folks define as a "lost cause" but its like every rock i turn seems to have rust in my 240z... for example, rite as soon as you open the door, the door outline has the showings of rust in it. Above the wheel well (where the small window fits) there is rust there... rust in the floor panels... what should i do?? can i get away without sandblasting? if not how much does it cost? and what does it involve :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Any pics would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 PICTURES are going to help a ton in that decision. There are alternatives to sandblasting, but if its structural FIX IT and be safe with peace of mind. You could have anywhere from surface rust to having panels missing. Which is it? If you can post up some pictures it'll help out, there was a decent rule of thumb "for whatever amount of rust (X) is showing on the surface double (2*X) it for what is underneath..."

The Rototiller Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 depends on what you need blasted? some places will do the whole car inside and out and primer the bare metal for under $1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 heck at that price it might just be best to strip it completely and then have it acid dipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
