How much rust is on your 3rd gen?

Last year I coated everything except the exhaust with boiled linseed oil. I also sprayed Deep Creep into the rocker panels, they are still clean and gray inside.

I live in a wet climate, the exhaust pipes and muffler are rusted over:

 

I got a crap load of rust, I'll be doing what you've done once body work is done

heres a pic of my rust with Alex V deciding on what to break

 

All I could find...



Stupid previous owners had the drainage hoses clogged up and was filling up the quarter panel area with water

 

Didn't you post a thread about converting to disk breakes? Why am I seeing drums? Did something not go well?

 

this pic is 2 years old...

 

I'd cry if I saw a Maxima looking like this poor Accord from Alaska

 

I had my max on the lift at work 2-3 weeks ago. I died a little inside. Its horrible. I'll have to drive it to work again and get pics...

i just had all my rust repaired and the vehicle re-sprayed 07 QX-3. quarters right behind the rear doors into the door jams were into the cabin and behind the rear wheels rusted into the trunk.

Probably the most annoying place to get rust.


This was after cutting out what was weakened from cancer.


I did repair the rear wells last year... I bought this car when I lived in Vermont, Damn salt.

 

No rust here...

 

No MORE rust here...

 

Damn mine looks like it went through the asteroid belt, I'd love to have it painted but I'd be looking at $2-3 to have someone do it well.

I like the way your white goes all the way down, it seems to make the car look fuller.

 

no rust at all, anywhere

rusty enough?

btw that's not the max i drive. mine has ONE spot of rust, on the fuel filler door. only visible from above when the filler door is open.

 

Thats the kind of perverted $h!t I was looking for!

I've noticed the tar-like factory coating is wearing off and the body color is showing through my rear wells. I keep that lip clean and coated it with linseed oil.

 

thanks! alot of work went into this car...its actually resprayed in qx3 white (more/brighter white than the older color) if i didnt get freebie paint and body work... and work for Nissan I prolly would have an easy 7k into it.....stillen body kit is next... maybe a few weeks... and I am going to take my wheels from my 06 SE and drop em on it as well... that wont be until I get the OZ wheels for the new one though.

I second the notion. How long have you had it?

How do you do that and with what material?
