Rust seems to be a growing topic amoung Z car owners ...

Geez Bill, it took you almost TWO YEARS to figure that one out?

While you've been pounding on the "Breats and tights" with your Astro-Glide (No, I don't know and DON'T want to know) many of us have been leading the crusade against this scourge of Z's.

Pics? Just look at anyone's gallery that's been working on their car......

Now if you're intending one of those "My story is worse than your story...." type of thread, well that's different.

Ebay!

Just keep checking the classic, fresh restorations some people post!!!

Seriously, The shell I just cut up would probably be in the running, as would #27,

but I think I'll take some pictures next time I am up at the farm-I have a car that must have floated from Hawaii(Hawaiin plates anyway)-if it weren't for suspension remnants, you would not know it had a floor at one time.

I dunno about the worst, but mines got some patches. Nothing serious though. Pics in my gallery and link in my sig.

Check out Art Singer's potential "Project 240Z" on page 70 of the new Fall 2005 issue of Sport Z Magazine. It's, let's just say, a tad rusty. Calling it an oxidation fest would be a considerable understatement.

My parts car would give anyone a run for there money, no outer rockers on either side, no inner on the drivers side, no floors, no fire wall, the fenders, no wheel wells, no frame rails, doors are crap, hatch crap, pretty much anything. I would like to stangle the guy I bought it from. You will think I'm kidding but i swear it when i got it home, i literally took a grinder on the rear fenders and there was about 1 3/4" thick of bondo in some places. I'm pissed just thinking about it. PLEASE PLEASE never do this to your Z's, they need bondo like we need a hole in the head!

nothing tops mine heh... it was so rotted i couldnt restore it. The whole unibody was rust it wasnt metal . I could tap it and it would crumble up. Ill take some pics and show u how bad the rust really is its ridiculous, i sanded down the fenders and atleast half of it was made bondo i was so mad =(and the quarters and rockers werent there anymore they were just rot hole filled with bondo GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

no matter what you call it, it was crazy I had no fenders they were all made and formed out of bondo!

Yup. You have to put some in when you replace the panels to cover the weld. But please dont let it get like mine

I would put "Orange '72" in the running. The passenger side behind the sail window had a hole in it so big I could almost put my fist through it. Sorry to say the cars passenger floor rail seperated and the car had to be towed away. On a happy note, someone bought the car. Last I heared, they had plans to rebuild her. Love for the Zed!

Here is a pic of the panel.

thats actually not that bad... its bad when u can fit ur fist in the front tubeing part of the unibody.. Thats suppose to be one of the strongest parts of the car, and now its held together by air, if i tok it off the jack and let the weight go on the unibody the car would bend and touch the ground...
