Anyone had rear fender rust fixed?? The typical Honda rust area.
Any idea about cost or recommendations where to get it done???
Thanks

 

my car has the same issue. any input would be appreciated. thanks

 

ppl ussualy just bondo it. looks like ---- though.

 

how bad is the rust?

 

Rust is like cancer and ------s. Best way to do it is cut off the rust and weld new sheet metal onto the fender.

 

Bryan had it done on his Civic. I think he paid $1,000,000

 

What I want to know is, for whoever has had the rust cut and rewelded metal to the rear quarters, has the rust come back?

I would only be willing to pay high coin only if the rust at the weld points will not come back.

 

How can the rust come back if it's been cut off and removed, repaired and rust proofed?

 

I had mine done in september, and its already started coming back! the body shop just grinded it and bondod it! I am definatly taking my car to a different shop later on to get it fixed PROPERLY

 

That is exactly what I'm talking about, some peeps had it cut off and re-welded, but the rust still came back.

I guess that would depend on the quality of the work done. In that case, which shops had the rust coming back, and which shops didnt?

 

No shop will guarantee that the rust will not come back, unless they replace the entire part completely.

 

you obviously did not read the post properly, they grinded it, and thn put body filler on it, if u cut the rust out ans weld in new metal and then rust proof it you good, annual rust proofing leads to a rust free car forever

 

It can come back on the welds. I had a cheap and cheesy job done on my black 90 rex and a year later I saw the first bubble. Mind you they didn't replace the quarter panel, just cut out the rust and welded in new metal. I also didn't rust proof afterwards so results may vary. I'd suggest find a reputable shop and get it done right or sell the car and find a rust-free version. No reputable shop will tell you the rust won't come back. Raj at Discovery Auto has done a number of HADA guys rear quarter panels and everyone's been happy with his work, you should give him a try.
