I pulled the carpet when I swapped the t56 into it and found a rust hole on both kick panels. Didn't look real bad so I didn't think much of it. Pulled the passenger fender liner this evening and it's much worse than I thought. I'm pretty bummed. I'm seriously thinking about parting it now.

Very irritating but very repairable. Have seen much worse.

Yep...discouraging, but don't let it throw you. It's repairable.

Thanks for the replies. Would it be easier to find a donor car and cut our what I would need to replace it?

Dude, keep it and just take your time repairing it. Look at restoration videos before and after, it will motivate you.


P.S. I am the guy who tried buying that car off of you 2 different times lol

Find an RS car and cut it up to fix the IROC.

No need really get a rust stripper wheel and a cutting wheel from local hardware and remove rust and cut out raggedy pieces, 16 guage from local metal supply store, cut to fit and weld in.

BrianI

Really? Lol Did you find one?

Guess I'll have to give the Hobart a workout. Thanks for the reply

M G Brewer

Sweet! Looks good but the color is terrible!!!! Jk

M G Brewer

Tell me about it lol

BrianI

You need anything off mine if I part it?

M G Brewer

Not that I know of. You should bring it down to my house someday so I can talk you into keeping it. I'm sure the rust isn't as bad as what it may seem. You have a desirable car. I'm in Nicholasville BTW if you ever wanna stroll by.

I've already pulled the fender off trying to get a good look at the rust. I'll bring the GTA over some time. I'm going to pull the engine and trans out of the Iroc and sell the body
