locost_bryan Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 What are the usual rust spots on these? A pillar and firewall? Do Chevettes rust in the same places? What's the plan? Keep it standard, or tweak it up a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it standard, or tweak it up a bit? Coupes I've found like to do boot floors. Firewall/inner guard/Floorpan seams. Under Heater matrix's on the early ones, Followed by the floor pans. Theres the channels under the front guards too that are prone to rusting out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cute wee gem Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 My other coupes boot floor is immaculate from memory. Funny how the exact same car can rust in different spots. I find the inner front guards are almost always rusty except on later model ones where they have plastic to protect them. Unsure about Chevettes as I've only owned 2 and never bothered to do them up. Standard isn't in my vocabulary Unsure of plans yet but it'll be Isuzu powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had rust around the boot seal and a little bit in the firewall Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Awesome! Not this one by any chance? It was previously gloss black. I remember it swinging Os across the road from maccas 5-8 odd years ago. They're definitely loads of fun to drive http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/isuzu/auction-1052410754.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
