rust issues in jamb

tsiemens · May 5, 2019

so the only serious rust issue plaguing my car is behind the door pins. I was told 40 hours of labor by a body shop. I've already done major work to the 86 vert. top, heater core and floors.
Should I keep going? this is going to get stupid expensive

That can only be answered by you.
I would be checking the bottom of the windshield and under the cowel. Is the fenders off? If not pull them and see what else is rotting

yeah I know its up to me just a huge bummer. The body guy said it was bad enough....he said who actually safetied this??

I bet that’s not the only spot that’s rusting on your car unfortunately. If it’s there in the door jamb, it’s probably somewhere else. Take those fenders off and check there and check your shock towers, floors etc.

I'll get some pictures soon. The body guy said his intention was to get that section from another southern car and replace the whole offending jamb section. As far as the floors I replaced those last year. I just didn't know how bad a door area was to structure when I bought it. For a thousand dollars for the record.

Oh yeah the strut towers are actually fine.

BlakeusMaximus · May 6, 2019

Oh ok, cool. He's quoting a grand to do the jambs?? If you have already replaced the floors and you have good towers, don't stop now! Your definitely over the hump.

tsiemens · May 6, 2019

Heres some pics and for the record I paid a thousand to purchase this car

tsiemens · May 6, 2019

the body guy says it will take roughly 40 SHOP hours

BlakeusMaximus · May 6, 2019

Ahh. Sorry I missed that.
