Question
Have 88 samurai w/ rust holes in floor front and back. Also holes around the doors and tire wells. Would appreciate advice. Don't care that much about cosmetics but want to stop progression; it's a hunting vehicle. thanks
My advice? Pop rivets and sheet metal. You will never, repeat, never stop rust without completely removing it. If you want to spend a little money, go to a local body shop and see if there are rust repair panels available for it. I wouldn't spend much on her- it's a 750 dollar vehicle.
