Default RUST RUST RUST!!!!! I HATE IT

well for you that dont know i put my car into a ditch back in september and i ran through a barb wire fence and screw the paint on my car all up, so i took it to the paint booth a couple months ago and it had some rust before the wreck and the body man got down to the sheet metal and the rust was worse than we thought and also since its a sunroof theres alot of extra rust that hope we can get rid of by sandblasting, the guy sent me some pics, but im gonna warn you for those with weak stomachs dont look!
