bad news with my zuki just found a hole heap of bog in the back passenger side wheel arch used to cover up "some failed attempt of rust repair" but apart from that the rest of the body looks ok ill go over it like a hawk
but i was thinking would it be easier to go to a import place or a wreckers or some thing and get the hole back left hand side of the car cut out and replace it on mine like weld it in to replace the rusted half out but would it be easier to just cut the part thats rusted out and weld some other steel in there becasue the rust is on the edge of the wheel arch and some of the panels behind it
or should i leave it up to my dad and all his freinds to tell me what is the "correct way of fixing it" but i will have some pics soon for the people who are crying about no pics

seems like a bit to much work cus then i have to make up a tray and all that and im only 15

Your only 15
That gives you two good years of spare time to work on it. As for the cut and shut job hurry up and post some pics so I know exactly what your talking about. It's really easy to cut the rust out and weld in replacement so I would think about doing that. A great way to learn how to do these sorts of things is to get a book from the library on panal beating. You have plenty of time to get this thing running so take your time and do it right the first time. And don't use that 15 year old crap as an excuse. Life is about learning and it's a great time you start learning about cars.

Just for a bit of back ground for us you are female right?
At the age of 19?
You know plenty about zooks it would seem?

Stuff people who say your to young to do stuff. How else are you going to learn. But before you start spending all you paper round cash figure out exacty what you want first. Draw some pic's and decide what you are going to be using it for.
Tray backs are the bomb!

The only time I've referred to 'US' if ever,is when trips are on and my partner is coming.
I bought my car 'Stock'
,with everything already on it.
So far the only work was done by a MIG welder,sorry but I'm not a welder by trade.
I'll get back to ya after the Gymkhana and maybe have a story after the Logan Challenge.

Serving customers is never fun.
Its much more rewarding being mean to them.

I still wonder how you don't pass out more often.
Slow down, take a breath and type slowly. try and use some punctuation. When you have finished your message read it back to yourself out loud. then edit it until it is in English
