Hey guys just wondering if any of you know a good place to take my car to get rust taken out of it or if any of you can do it.
My car has started to rust minorly.
Below rear left window. May have to take out window.
Below the hatch where the rubber meets the hatch. Still also have to take out the window.
Depending on whats available. I may just have to take out the rust for starters. but if need be or more feasable i will go for a full respray.
Any help or referal would be great. I hate rust.

Can't recommend Bob from Kinglake West highly enough, he did an awesome job on my pole bent car (Even replacing the pinstripe stickers down the doors with new ones) and was dirt cheap. His number is 5786 5613. It's a bit of a drive, but very worth it.
Just a warning though, he isn't much of a talker on the phone and he isn't the sort of guy to put up with crap and kiss your arse just cos you've got a shiny car.
And if you come away happy, a bottle of scotch does wonders.

Depends how bad the rust is, it might only be surface rust at this stage, if so attack it with the wire brush on an angle grinder, that removes all the loose metal/rust, then just smooth it with a bit of bog or if you want something harder just metal mend. That's what I've done with a fair bit of my rust repairs. It saves a lot of money!
