How to Repair a Rust Hole in the Bodywork

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

Video tutorial

When you discover a rust hole in the lower part of your old car, it is always a serious moment. You may not know how to repair it, but you cannot leave it as it is or the rust will continue to spread, causing even worse damage.

Let's see how to remedy this with the help of an expert bodywork technician: the first thing to do is to remove the larger rust pieces and fill the holes created with polyurethane foam, which can be found on the tecnomat.it website with the code 25009283 at a price of £14.90 for the 0.750 ml can. Once the foam has solidified, remove the excess, and this way you will have structural integrity to work with.

Spread filler and apply a plastic bag over it to shape the area perfectly; indeed, when it has solidified, you will remove it and it will have the right shape.

You will only need to finish it off. Place masking tape along the edge, and since rust usually forms at the bottom of the car, quickly paint it with black paint. Remove the tape and the job is done.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
