OMG...this is what happens when you think that theres alittle rust under the paint so you chip away and after 15mins find this!!!

This has to be fixed pronto...so do I just pour rust convertor on the rust and bog over the top and shall I weld metal in place??? If so what kind of welder shall I hire??

Im just as shocked as you guys... Dumb question Huh Sad Crying

Oh my...that's going to take some creativity...might be a good idea to go find a scrapped hachi and cut out a healthy piece of steel to put in.

Mate...this is NZ....there are no easy to find scrapy ones...I think I might have to mould a peice of mild steel to the shape and weld it in place...HMMMM lucky theres not to much rust else where.

Well there arent much (or any) hachi's at wreckers over here either, but still I'd try to find a partscar since it's not the easiest shape to reproduce.
BTW, I'd cut it a little bit further and start grinding that weird hinge away along with the rust thats under there..

Auch! That is indeed a very bad spot... It looks like the previous owner used a whole jar of filler. Huh

It seems to be a problem in some Toyotas. My mate has an 86 Land Cruiser, and the rust made a hole with 3cm diameter... He had to glue it with epoxy to drive it 500km, now he's going to rebuild the car completely. Smile

I hope you won't have to weld new metal pieces in there, but there may be no other possibility to fix it... Good luck!

Ahhh, VTEC. All the lag, none of the turbo. It's like waiting for bad sex.

I think you could be right there.

I scored a brand new MIG gas welder off my boss for a very nice price so I'm gona cut the rust out and shape a new piece of metal to suit and weld it in there. Theres only one way to go with Hachis and thats the right way.
