Rost chock!

    Today I took away the rear bumper and the plastics around and inside the car....I got a chock when I saw all the rust! (See pics below)


    I have alot of repairing to do now.





    Do you guys have any tips for me :cry: ?

    I suppose every a112 once looks (or looked) like that ;)


    You can get new sheetmetal here:



    The rear quarter panel ("Seitenteil") inculdes everything you need to repair the rustdamage in the back, only the "dent" for your rear light might not fit 100% because the quaterpanel is actually for an a112 up to modelyear 1982.


    If you need a new "Radlauf" for the Front, I could send you one for the left side, cut out of an old (but rust-free) fender.


    Greets,
    Gerald


    P.S: How does the right side look? And even more important: please remove the inner plastics covering the place that holds your rear shock absorbers and look for rust, beacause if your rear quarterpanel looks like this, chances are good that the rear shockmounts are also damaged... :( (see pic below...)

    I have also removed the inner plastics. There are rust holes on both sides next to the shock absorbers but also in the corners.


    I have to go to a specialist with this. Maybe this would be a good time to fit me a breiterung kit like Angsten or something similar?


    Calypse...when can you be on ICQ again?

    I know. The threads in the hub are worn out. I have a new hub but I haven't bothered yet to change.


    Does anyone know where I can get sheetmetal for the sides underneth the doors?

    hi,I see the pictures.This will be a lot of work.I have a car with a good body.It must be nearly the same year.I will take for the car/body 1250,-€.If you like I send you pictures.but I have no pictures of the car without plastics but if you are real intereseted i can take some...
    greetings moretti patrone

    Mensch Oliver, sei doch nicht so negativ ;)


    Ich denke mal mit ~500€ kommt man da hin, wenn man einen guten Karosseriebauer kennt, oder?


    Meine Rechnung:


    Kotflügel vorne: ~120€
    Schweller: ~40€
    Seitenteil hinten: ~80€


    Dann bleiben noch 260€ für die hinteren Dome, das müsste doch reichen!

    @ Gerald


    So wie die Kiste aussieht, ist mit 100%iger Sicherheit auch die A-Säule und der Scheibenrahmen infiziert. Die inneren Holme sollte er auch besser mal checken. Mit 500 Euro kommt man da nicht weit. Er soll besser eine neue Karosse kaufen.

    Den Karosseriebauer, der das für 500 EUR macht (am besten direkt mit Lackierung), möcht ich sehen, außerdem kommen bei dem Auto GARANTIERT noch andere Schweinereien zum Vorschein, warte mal ab, bis alle Kunststoffteile demontiert sind (z.B. Türen, Scheibenrahmen etc.). Ich würde mal sagen, da kann sich ein Desaster auftun!

    @Oliver:Hm,ok, da hast du auch wieder recht.


    Aber welche inneren Holme meinst du? Die, die quasi "hinter" der äußeren A-Säule liegen?!


    gereon:


    Die 500 hatte ich jetzt für Eigenarbeit angesetzt (also dass der Karosseriebauer nur die hinteren Dome macht, sonst nichts!) Dass allerdings auch die A-Säulen wohl recht böse aussehen könnten stimmt schon, ich bin jedoch davon ausgegangen, dass Abarthswed das schon alles angeschaut und für rostfrei befunden hatte. Ob das jetzt wirklich so ist? Keine Ahnung.

    I have read what you guys are saying. The thing is that exept from the pics you have seen and in the rear next to the dampers there is no other place on the car that has rust of such magnitude. No other places are "durchgerosted". Before I took the plastics off I was happy with the small rost spots here and there cuz they are not bad at all and I thought my car was healthy. But now that it is not I have to do the best of the situation cuz I am not a millionere :wink: .


    I will switch the "Schwellers" to brand new ones, I will cut of the rusty arches and put an Angsten wide kit on. The rust in the back next to the dampers is also not a problem to fix. The rusty rear left panel is actually the only problem. I will have to cut it of and have it rebuild with new plate as good as it can be. The rear bumper goes back on anyway. I belive all these stuff will stop the rust from spreading.

    :( Hy Abathswed,


    I bought an A112 last October. The previous owner lived 850km south of my home. Therefore he sent me pictures of the car. Everything looked great. The window frame was fine, the doors were all right and so on. Only the "A-Säule" was covered with some black plastic stuff, which wasn't very helpfull covering the rust underneath.


    But anyway, finally I took of the plastics on the rear left side. Wasn't very much of a problem. I didn't even need a screwdriver! :cry:
    The rear left end wasn't very healthy as well.
    By now, the car is laying on a soft "bed" for us to have easy access to the bodywork underneath. We are now in process of taking off all the paint and stoneprotection stuff. Believe me: You will find more rust on your car, if you would do that to your car.
    We found four big rust spots, which were very well covered by the stoneprotection.
    And for the others: even so our car has a lot of rust, we will rebuild it on your own (with a rusian helper!!! Very helpfull indeed!!! Lada and rust? These guys know how to deal with it!!!)
    Along with a french Abarth. We hope to finish our work 'till the forum-meeting in June.


    Our advise: DON'T GIVE UP!!!


    Regardes


    ChrisFL and michael.S

    Well I have fixed most of the rost :D
    And I have fitted an Angsten Kit with a big front spoiler. I got new bumpers and I relocated the blinkers.

    Hy guys!


    I finally prepared two pictures of Michaels car! We thougt it wasn't too bad, which changed emediately after we removed the covering metal!
    :cry:
    The rest you can see on the pictures! (if it works)
