I'd almost be tempted to wire wheel off all the rust and then spray primer over it... although I'm not sure if that qualifies as "removing the holes" in the eyes of MD inspection.

 

wire wheel the shit out of it, fill it with bondo, sand to match the body lines, and then spray paint it. only has to last for day, to get the car inspected, then who cares if the stuff cracks and falls out.

 

I second this I've even seen people pop rivet metal in and bondo it just to get passed inspection. The worst I've see is duct tape with paint over it. But I work just wire wheel it and bondo and paint it once it's inspected your good to go.

 

Yeah, ill have to rivet some panels over it, pretty much the entire panel past the door is gone, and a small chunk of the front is too... damn, didnt think the rust was that bad on inital inspection

Edit: think this would do for a rivet tool?

Why are you getting it MD inspected if its a rally car? Can't you trailer it with the truck?

 

Yes, but MD has some strange laws about keeping cars with no tags/insurance, and i dont have a garage to hide this thing in. also, ive never driven a stick before in my life, so i need to learn to drive it first. Hell, i still struggle to move it around my yard in first/reverse without stalling it

 

I can help with the welding part, also I have a rivet tool if need it. I can teach you how to drive stick too

 

That would be amazing, where about are you located, as the car would need to be trailered to you and back, since its gonna be a bit before i can get tags on it

 

Isn't there a temporary inspection tag available, so the vehicle can be driven to repair places and inspection shops?

 

there is, but that means you have 30 days from the time you get the tags to get it past inspection and have tags on it, and since im on a budget, i dont want to have the inspection and then find out theres a ton of stuff to fix, and not have the cash to do it

 

Not really sure what the year of the car is if it was a 95 or 96 tag it as historic and screw inspection lol

 

Doesn't that only apply to the VEIP (emissions)?

 

My Sgt got his care package today hahaha

 

No inspection or emissions. Just tag & drive.

 

Can I tag my truck like that hahahaha

 

After 19 years.

 

Nope, car is a 99, 3 years too new

 

also, ive been working on peeling back all the rusted out sections, almost the entire passenger rocker turned to rust, it was only held on by a prayer in some sections, gonna have to weld a new panel in, theres no way i can get away with bondo. now the fender, yeah, thats getting some bondo when shit stops falling from the sky for a few days

 

Are you kidding me? Kia is made of 90% bondo you'll get by with plenty of bondo on the Chevy haha

 

So tired of this weather
