Wow. I have never seen anybody weld up holes before. That is definately a new one on me. Why would you weld here vs. bondo?

100323, RE: very unclear Posted by goalie40, Dec-30-07 08:21 PM
because metal is much stronger than bondo.

thats how they did mine ^^^^, well they didnt exactly use that long nail, but they used a different piece of metal and welded it, and then they smoothen it out! its nice when you see them do it...
p.s. surprise comming around soon!!!

yes the metal was a much stronger solution then trying to mess with either fiberglass or bondo.
and i discovered that "16-Penny" nails are a perfect fit into most of those holes and allow you to still get a nice bead of weld down. it also looked much smoother when paint was done as well.

thanks for the pic!!-Not to change the subject but i just got back from the junk yard and i got a turbo spoiler for $60 i thought it was a good deal it is in really good condition- my problem is now that, should I go wing less with my cf hatch or should i put the turbo style wing on it and should i paint it <(pewter blue pearlcoat)-gray..the color of the car>or black?? or should i leeve the stock 3pcs spoiler on... i also got a msd coil pak for $30 and a b&m short throw for $20
