Getting sick and tired of hearing this shit, and it isn't even that old, mid 90's with minimal rust to treat. So user, what do your friends and family think of the time you spend tinkering?
What car is it? Is it actually a piece of shit?
>with minimal rust too
>rust on the car
It's shit.
Corsa B Si, like in the pic. Not the hottest car around by far, I know it, but the engine is still bulletproof and the bodywork only has a couple tiny rust spots. Plus, I like it.
>the bodywork only has a couple tiny rust spots
Well then fix em
>Well then fix em
That's what I plan to. Even the ones showing through the paintwork are smaller than a fingernail, so I doubt it has spreaded much farther underneath. Perks of living in a sunny country that never saw road salt I guess.
The only thing that truly worries me is that it already shows signs of the dreaded B pillar crack, a common fault on these.

I fucking love the Corsa B. Has a bit of a rep as a peados car around here but still, it's in my top 5 shitboxes of all time
If you put a bit of 2mm steel plate either side and weld it in, it stops the crack actually reducing the strength of the roof
I know in Bongland it has a lot of fame for being the quintessential barry car. Luckily over here they tend to grab civics, 106/saxos, and ibiza tdis instead, so the corsa was pretty much left alone.
Even still, the plan is to build a GSi replica, won't even touch the tiniest amount of rice.
Yeah, I've been researching on it, a lot of people suggest spot welding a reinforcement plate inside the pillar, but I'm somewhat stuck on how to tackle it though. I initially thought the pillar was hollow, but I already took out the interior panels, and I saw yet another steel sheet inside the pillar. Seems to be a pillar's main structural point, and I'd have to cut it if I want acess to the crack from inside. Pic related, forgot to take a photo at the time, so excuse my poor paint skills.
If I can't find a way to, I'll just do everything else to the best of my abilities: wirebrush the area, drill both ends of the cracks, weld, grind to shape and rust protect afterwards (although I do have to improve my basic welding capabilities).
