Question Rust questions...

I'm about 90% sure i'm getting a 95 Z28 Convertable. Its body is in pretty good condition, but it has a rust spot on the drivers side rear quarter pannel about the size of a quarter. Its right above the wheel and on the corner. What would a body shop do to fix that and about how much am I going to have to spen to get it fixed? Its black BTW (dont know if that mattered any with the paint???)

Thanks,
- Mike

If its rusted through they would cut it out and weld it back up, paint. Id say around 500-700 to fix it. If its only on the surface it would be cheaper.

I would prob. Not buy the car. In my experinece. If there is rust that you can see. There is MUCH more that you cant. You dont want to be buying a rust bucket

then again, it could jst be a chip that was never attended to and it built up surface rust through the yrs/months that it has been there. being a 95 z, i wouldnt think that he is looking at a rust bucket.. maybe jst a car that wasnt maintained really really well.
