Hey everyone, i am new to this forum and am also a girl lol so please be nice.

I have a 1989 VN Commodore and it has a bit of rust in the boot near where the towbar attaches, my dad fixed it temporarily as i was going to sell it but now i want to do it up and was just wondering what you all recommend to fix it.

My dad is a mechanic and has done some panel beating so he can do alot of the work we just need some ideas.

If you have any ideas on how i can fix it to tow again it would be appreciated if not doesnt matter as i am planning on putting a VY clubsport body kit on it eventually and lowering it so i DEFINATELY wont be towing with it lol

thanks for any help

Kylie

a simple cut and make a new section to go over the rust, a bit of welding is required! Also male or female doesnt matter , we have a few chiks on here that could show up a few of our male members lol... in saying that ask what ever you whant to know there isnt a member on here that wont help, were a friendly bunch here! welcome aboard

Welcome and good luck with the panel beating
 

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.

Hey, welcome aboard...

Basically... you'll have to cut around the rust and weld in a new peice of steel... like trizo said... but id advise making sure you prime the cut edges... otherwise the problem WILL return!

Man... Woman... Doesn't matter!

Enjoy the panelbeating
