Well with many 200sx's they normally suffer with rust, i knew there was some rust on mine ie arches, passenger wing and a few bits here and there but wasn't planning on starting on it till the weather started to pick up, untill now.

This is what happens when the previous owner uses the wrong jacking point with the wrong type of jack, manages to puncture through the sill, then leaves it and lets it corrode away

I was abit reluctant to post these but i guess it'll go to show how the cars going to be coming along. Anyway it was booked in to the garage to have some welding done and a general check over to make sure everything was ok, the welding came out ok considering the sill had to be made, some of the inner wing and a subframe mount. Then it was sealed inside and out

After (sorry about the pic quality)









The rest of the car wasnt too bad just some surface rust so once the summer comes itll be getting rubbed down and waxoyld to protect again.
