RUST TREATMENT

What do people suggest to treat rust been using krust and its not only shit u dont get much for ur money. any suggestions would be much apprieciated.

Sorry to say it the best thing to use is a grinder, cutting wheel, fresh steel and a welder. once rusted it will continue rusting unless it's all cut out. thats why its called cancer!. the rust treatments only really work on fresh steel to transform the beginings of rust, the before you can see it rust...don't care what the bottle says.
it may slow it down if used for a long time during the repair but thats all a temporary slow down. if your going to use it make sure the area is completely clean of paint, filler, grease and dust use a wire brush in a grinder and fine grit sandpaper, apply remove, same as above apply again at least 4 times, each time being 24 hours. might make a difference

What gtp said Im in the process of putting sills on one of mine and once i have and they are solid and sealed im pump as much waxoyl in as i can to save it rusting for the the future

I used POR-15 on the whole underside of the car. Good stuff.

you can put a million pound finish over it but unless its not there it will come back. when welding your sills make sure you use a weld through primer and seam seal it properly before you waxoyl it. Im an old ford guy at heart and practice so know all about rust.

looks like good stuff i use waxoyl and shutz

i was gonna cut out the bad bits but theres aload of like top rust at the bk under the boot, i wire brushed the tits out of it and then wax oiled it but u can still see its there in places if i just leave it and give it a couple more coats will it get worse? hobo did u buy sills or are u just making them, if u r buying where did u get them ive searched online but cant find n e but i havnt rang suzuki yet cuz i know there robbing cunts!

haha don't be silly you can't buy sills that would be easy thinking about trying to work out how to make and duplicate to sell

lol i was just told by sum1 u could no wonder i havnt found n e lol well if u manage to do it by they end of next month i would be well interested.

Where is the sill rust
try here and use a 4 door sill

if its at the rear end maybe they are different enough but the front and length should be OK.

Good find gtp ! been looking everywhere and even at similar cars too late now but will use them on my 89

Dosent suzuki sell sill's

Thought they would be about £1m but still available.

Makes me sad when parts stop beeing produced for our cars

I spoke to a bloke today and he said its because alot of the patent part producers have gone tits up even getting sills for a mk5 escort for example have tripled in price but how often do you see a car over 15 years old on the road anymore? the scrappage scheme sorted that out!

A bloke back on ukswift many many moons ago claimed he used fiesta sills, didnt say whick mk, and never put any pics out but swore blind they are a good fit

i'll look into into it tomorrow with relevant literature

That is a nuttz find and I was exspecting to pay at least £100 a side.

todays work no master fabricator i know but she will stay on the road for abit longer

wow ur wheel nuts stick out a long way....

lol tell me about it they are those d1 stupid things came on my 91 they are not staying on for long!

Blimey mate are going to weld all the way along those sills,anyhow i used in the past think it was fiesta mk3 /4 or even 5 cant remember but all we need is a slight s shape in the sill to match up with the swift sills,
Speaking of rust i am on my second build now all because of fucking cancer rust rot shitting bastard stuff i picked up a w reg for 800 quid and is in mint condition under neath but ime going to build a spit roast for the car again strip the shell to nothing sand blast the entire underneath and then prime up and waxoil it,and then rap in cotton wool and never use it.
