...anyone have any ROUGH ideas of how much it would cost to get some rust sorted out round a filler cap?

Apparently its "at a point where only needs stripping treating and spraying"

Thanks!

 

not much really.

Go to a bodyshop and get a quote, only way your going to know for sure

 

Some pictures would help them in the know esitmate it for you.

Its not a car I have...its one I was looking at maybe buying...

 

what car is it? if its sort after and not many about its worth buying and getting it done, as i said wouldnt be much just for doing the filler area.

If its a mk3 fiesta etc then just find another thats in better nick

 

its a Fiesta rs1800.

Pacifica blue
All standard except a k&n filter and scorpion exhaust,
Mot'd in march but no tax
65k on the clock
Body in good nick filler cap rusting but is "at a point where only needs stripping treating and spraying"
E/W
Full Cobra alarm
Recaro interior
comes with extras (16" mondeo wheels, the original wheels, rs turbo bonnet that needs spraying)

 

Fiesta's are well known for rusting there so could be proper bad, could be just a slight touch up... would need to see a picture, or take it somewhere for a quote.

 

i dont have any pictures

its either that...or something like this...

No go but look at it

 

I did do it once with filler but the rust came back after 5 months so the best way of getting rid of it without replacing the whole wing is cutting that section out where it's rusty and welding a piece of metal into the exact shape then spraying it maybe half of the wing so that it blends in depending on the condition of the paint on the wing it might cost you no more than £300 I think but at least that rust won't come back again and the finish was perfect you couldn't even notice here’s a few pictures of mine when it was done last year

 

Why give the spec of the car

It wont make any difference to how much it costs to get the panel repaired

 

Around £100 ish depending on how far gone it is

 

Leave her alone

Id say see some good pics or look at it first, if its too bad then walk away if its going to cost 200-300 to repair, unless you have that to spend on it

 

because i wanted to see if anyone thought it was worth doing or not

 

Thanks with what it would cost to buy and insure it...i dont think I could justify £300 to repair it straight away too.

I can wait.

 

i know a place near Ely who would do it for about £150-200. and he does a good job.

if its rusted there, be sure to check things like the inner wings, boot floor, front floorpans, and sills because the mk3 fiesta's can rot quite bad underneath and cost major money to repair.
