Rust Repair So Cal (1 Viewer)

[Stuey31]

Hey all! Looking for recommendations for a shop to do some rust repair on my 89 FJ62. Car is very solid other than these two spots - located underneath window on rear panel driver side and the gutter above lift gate. Looking for quality work and some good paint to match.

Try Art's Place: 931 Sunset Dr G, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. He repaired a small rust spot on my rain gutter and his pricing was fair. Quick turnaround too.

Another place that was recommended to me, but that I did not use, is Autobahn auto body in Costa Mesa. I think they are more of a restoration shop so they may be more expensive.

Unfortunately these rust spots have a tendency to keep popping up if you are parking outside with the marine layer and rain. The water will sit in the gutters while parked and find any nook to seep in. After a couple of years parked in the driveway, I ended up taking the garage spot for my cruiser.

No problem. Let me know how it goes, some day I'd like to have my gutters completely stripped and re-sealed and they seem like a good option.
