UPDATE: So 4+ years later this quick repair appears exactly the same. The car has seen plenty of miles, salt, and track time with no ill effects. Obviously, if you have a nice/valuable car go get it professionally repaired but I’ve been busy enjoying this crappy Miata!

Let’s fix my beater Miata. Keep in mind this car cost $1000, so no this isn’t a professional repair. However, this video should guide you through the basic process of repairing rusty rocker panels (or sills) on a NA Mazda Miata (Mx-5) or similar vehicles.

    Need to do this to my 1997's quarters so bad. Would it maybe be a good idea to hit that inner layer of metal with a wire wheel? Would that clear anymore of the rust away any better?

    wow. this is like the only video that shows you how to stop the inside from rusting with weld thru primer. All these other videos just patch things up and leave bare metal on the back like it's never going to rust again. lol.
