Pop Rivet Pros And Cons

[Hungryhippo]

Ive got about a week of holidays left with nothing much to do so im thinking about pop riveting all the door sills. i realise its not as good as spot welding them but its much cheaper and i can do it myself. Anyone had any good or bad experiences doing this?

You will be giving corrosion a big head start...

it acctually weakens the chassis also... just because you see it done in japanese tuning mags doesnt make it a good thing!

either spot weld it or leave it alone

haha, you dont need it! you already have your fancy roll cage in there I agree, spot welding would be the go. Rivets will just look unsightly and possibly promote some rust if you dont treat/pain the holes before putting in the rivets.

hehe,fair enough. as you can tell I have far too much free time on my hands
