Prize for split kombi "creative rust repair???
I just got home with a very cheap '58 windowless van. Been used as a shed for about 20 years! I think it's too far gone but its bits will
help at least 3 others. Anyway, I nominate the PO for the MOST CREATIVE rust repair:
To fix a rusty cargo floor, fill it with about 50mm of concrete & use a steel trowel to make it very smooth then paint with dark red paving paint.
Shit a brick! (Or if you're greek: "Shittos brickos!" Any
got a Kango gun I can borrow???

Awww, come on... Just visualise it...
Glowing white stucco, with a couple of roman columns on the bull-bar, maybe a terracotta pot or two with ivy framing the windscreen...
And a little statue of a pee-ing cupid on the pop-top.

ummm
ok i'm greek, i take great offence to what you guys just said...... because you forgot the pebblecrete and you must paint the car in a scheme
that hurts the eye beyond repair.... I.E. an EXTREMELY bright white, that is hosed down at least once a day.... and a nauscious light blue colour that
gets repainted if any sign of dullness comes into it.
oh and not forgetting the souvlaki cooker under the front bonnet so you can tell everyone to EAT!! EAT!!!
Yianni
btw: if you think that isn't from an authentic greek.. check out my avatar... my house is white.. and my car... it sits on pebblecrete

I have seen a bug covered in mirrored tiles. I think it was from a florist in Brunswick St. And one covered in blue fake fur

There was a bug made up like a disco ball, covered with little mirrors that used to drive around the dancefloor at warehouse parties here in melb.
But I would love to see a kombi with roman columns on the bullbar.....classy!
Ooh, suits you sir!

I looked at a single cab ute in Kiama, right on the beach, the rust was repared with plaster or paris, trowel finnished too, no sanding!!!.
The guy owned it for years and was very pissed off the "new young guy" and the garage who wouldn't pass it for rego.

I never admitted this, as I thought it was weird, but now I see it is common practice.
My father put concrete in the bottom halves of both quarter panels of his 1962 EJ Holden wagon to fix rust. Filled them up to floor level.
Reckoned it helped the handling too.
I see now this has been done by others.
