Yeah see, I didn't want to gatekeep but there's a difference in enjoying fixing seals and making things 'right' versus throwing money at a 1000HP R33. Most don't have the option, maybe the OP does. But this well into built, not bought category and I don't think I'm alone in saying people who do this get a bit of an asterisk as to their "Car guy" status.
Yes it's a slippery slope - Someone may say "Well if you don't do 100% of the labor rebuilding your own engine, are you really a car guy?" but I think it'd be a lie to say we don't all feel that way to a degree when it comes to 'built not bought'.
This is why rust converter is phosphoric acid. The iron phosphate left behind stays attached to the parent metal. It's not steel (iron). But it's also not a hole.
Woah woah woah, don't forget the crowd that hate doing this shit, but love modified cars AND paying others to modify them.
At which point, go buy Dose's R33
