Re: [T3] Rust


Hey mike,

I have a suggestion. Use rivets. All you need is a $20
rivet gun, a drill with the same size as the rivet and
a piece of sheet metal big enough to cover the hole. I
like this because you can drill out the rivets and
then completely and thoughoughly fix the problem when
the weather is better. I know how it can be with a
hole in the pan during the winter. That can be very
lame. I had a subaru the had a hole right behind the
drivers side front tire. So pretty much where my feet
are. It isn't fun when you sprayed with slush and snow
from your floorboard while doing about 45 mph.
