Hi guys,
considering i bought my MU for $2,500 i think shes in great nick apart from the body... the previous owner neglected it and left it outside weathered for over 3 years without a cover or anything. .
so now it has the dredded paint peel, surface rust on the rear part of the roof and bad rust on another section of the roof where the rust has caused a 5c size hole which i have duct taped. The seels around the rear windows are also rusted and letting in some water.
now i need some advice or maybe some direction. i have a max of $1,000 to repair all of this and make the car somewhat presentable but my main concern is to try get the car in good enough shape to stop the rusting process so i can keep the car for atleast another 5 years or more.
What would you guys recomend.. do i get the rust repaired by a professional and then pain the car myself?
are there any back yard panel beaters in sydney that will do a decent job for $1,000?
