Hi guys just had to do some major work to the front inner fenders on my 03 crossfire . I noticed rust stained water marks on both inner fenders . On closer inspection I discovered major rust holes on each front side . I spent two days fabricating and welding patches . I wondered has anyone else encountered the same problem

 

Had the same problem on my 01 Crossfire.......but its a couple years older than yours.

 

What am I missing, 01 Crossfire?

 

Did you miss the 03 Crossfire?

 

Scotchie may be from the UK, if so 03 would be correct

 

6 years and 1 post - a new record !
( scotchie makes Jethro Gibbs look like a blabbermouth .... )

 

The UK cars are known by their year of registration.

 

Cant a guy have some fun around here without being corrected by a bunch of "post count increasers"

 

See you tomorrow.............

 

Movin on up!

 

Unbelievable

 

Hang around it gets better.

 

Can't wait: D

 

New to the Forum so I don't know how to do all the tricks. You will notice by my age I grew up without computers. All I know is I really like my car "as is " .

 

Can you be a little more specific about where those holes are showing up? After all you car is now over 10 years old. If it's seen winter driving and salt on a yearly basis, some rust is bound to show up.
In 1976 I saw a 1972 Ferrarri Daytona parked on the streets of O.C. N.J. that had huge rust holes in both the drivers and passengers doors the size of my fist.

 

I too just did the same repairs. Though i used fiberglass to make the repairs, don't have a welder.
the rust i found was under the seam sealer, around the shock tower housing.

 

To the east side? (that's a +1 more! )

 

my xf is an 03 also and I have just done the same repairs on both sides of the car and again it was on both sides of the suspension turret, also I had light surface rust on the lips of all 4 wheel arches.

 

Look under the doors for rust, this area is prone to rust very early.

Click for an old thread on the subject.

We are going to see a lot of people respond to this problem.

 

I remember seeing that thread, but mine are really good, which I was surprised about.
