Any Panel Beaters In Da House?

[Wacky Dee]

My 34 has some rust around the strut towers ..around the edge of the top plate going outside towards fenders (but not too far). So I've got strut towers cut out from a healthy lookin R33 at the wreckers and will be getting the top plates cut out, rust cleaned out and treated and then new plates welded on top ...

Anyway, just wondering what sort of rust treatment to use that will not burn off completely during the welding process ? As there's no way to use rust treatment once the new top plates go on as the area will be sealed off from outside

try using weld through primer comes in a spray can

yeah i've read about that stuff .... is this the best there is ? Should I not use Penetrol or hydrochloric acid to treat the surfaces ? I'm worried if I use either of those that once it burns it will actually create gaps'/material that might induce corrosion

I wouldn't get super worried about it. Paint the replacement panels. You'll probably find your car was run on salted snow roads. With the panels painted they shouldn't give u anymore grief.
