Are these rust holes even fixable? I might be getting this car and would like to know beforehand. How much do you think a shop would charge to patch these holes up, no paint? Damn midwest B13s...I've been wanting one for a while and this is the only reasonable one thats come along...

you should really take the fender off and see the mess thats waiting behind. are the door jams ok? the stuff along the bottom is fixable but for good $$$ you cant buy that bottom metal for the two doors any more. i think you can still get the metal from nissan but for the 4 door model only which all you have to do is cut it and reweld where the two come together to make it work. its definately fixable. you might want to thoroughly check over the car before making your decision though. check inside the trunk around the shock towers, door jams, and down inside the fenders.

damm i use to be a bodyman and a painter and now im a manger in a bodyshop and theres no way id touch that, ur talking some good money to get rid of that, i did it to mine but id never do it again, thats a over $2500 fix

yeah pass on this one. in the third pic you can see where the frame is beginning to give in to "THE RUST".

i mean if i baught it id give them $200 for the car if its running decent and id have to think it over and see it in person because i can fix all that for free for myself but thats a crap load of work when u can pay a 1k and get one without rust or very little, id get it to save another se-r but i cant save them all from a life of doom:biggthump

Allright thanks guys...I'll continue the search for a B13 SE-R. BTW if anyone has one around Indiana, PM me :D

just get some side skirts to cover up that rust...chop it off and cover it up...;-)

Some of that looks like its hitting the unibody "frame rails". trust me, stay away from it. Its fixable, but would be extremely expensive. It isnt worth it.

I agree. You've got an experienced body man answering, and HE said watch it; if it were just the panels that's easy - you can buy those and bolt 'em on, but the frame is another issue. Let 'er go, keep looking, unless you want a parts car.
