I have some rust under my passenger side wheel well that is starting to spread and just starting to go up the body.

Anyone know how much im looking at spending to fix ? Im trying to sell my car and this seems to be in the way of anyone wanting it. I tried a rust paint spray but that didnt do anything at all.

this is the car incase anyone is wondering

you aren't going to make a difference in selling price that will cover the repair of said arch.

Just get rid of it as-is.

I got my 240 rust surgery done at OZ Designs. They do mostly 240's dunno if they'll do MR2

This place is sketchy as hell. I looked into it a few years ago for my own car.

I actually got some rust fixed by him a few years go.
If you are looking for some cheap repairs (i.e. bondo over rust) then he does a reasonable job for the price. But be warned it's not the proper way to fix rust and it WILL come back.

If you're going to sell that thing, don't bother wasting your time and money fixing it. That stuff isn't of your concern when you're trying to sell it.

Just drop the price and let the buyer fix it properly. Serious car people avoid rust like the plague, but most of us are also fuckin cheap and don't mind taking on a bit of work to save money on an otherwise good purchase.

Not worth your time to fix.

+1 when I was looking at AW's most of them had a bit of rust on the rear wheel wells. Unless its something very minor that you can sand/touch up yourself don't bother

By the time it bubbles like that on a MR2, the fender is perforated and pretty much has to be replaced. You will sink in more money to fix it up (even if you do it yourself) than the cost of the purchase.

but most of us are also fuckin cheap and don't mind taking on a bit of work to save money on an otherwise good purchase.

go to concept finishes with your paint code and get them to mix a rattle can for you. then ask at the counter about a rust inhibitor call POR-15. read the instructions and hopefully you have some basic bodywork skills and maybe you can make that look more decent...
