Small rust hole in wing
#1
Posted 25 February 2006 - 11:17 PM
I pushed through 5 little ones altogeather, there about the size pencil at the most.
Do i need a new wing or would i be able to fill the holes just to last a year or so til i can afford to replace the wing and give the car a full respray.
Any help would be super
Cheers lee

Put some duck tape on the back of the panel to stop the filler falling through
Prime then paint
But it’s more than likely that the rust will show trough the filler making it look worse within a month or two

You could use filler

Or weld it up for a proper job, just filling a hole is a crappy bodge!

So i suppose if i drill the holes out slightly larger ie back to good metal that should hold for a while.

Just make sure you use good quality filler
As the one I used to smooth over the joins in my front panel has cracked and allowed water to attack the sound metal behind
How 2 use body filler

Yep should do

Like final smoothing of my doors, rear panels and the dint in my boot lid
Done over 8 months now not a hint of bubbling
And I take you know someone or work in a body shop then?
filler is for removing ripples and dents from panels, not for repairing holes.
As for me, I know alot of people, and I don't work in a bodyshop, but I DO know how to repair cars properly and have been for the last 10 years....
