Augh!!!!!!!!!!

My pride and joy is starting to rust! help please! It's starting to spot and rust around the drivers side wheel well. I don't have the $$$ to get it professionally fixed and painted. any advice on what to do? I could sand/grind the rust down to the metal, then primer it and paint it. I think that I could do it myself, with it still looking good. It's just that I've never done anything like this before, and don't want to get in over my head. Thanks!!!

If you don't have the money to cut and weld, use POR15 to stop the rust. Run a search on POR15, or just look a bit further down on this board for more info.

POR-15 is the stuff alright. I haven't had any luck with that "rust converter" stuff you can buy in some places though.
