Yeah me too, but i suppose thats what you get with N15s. Should have reshelled into an N16 loon.
Anywho, done some rust removal and some rust prevention.
Bought some dust masks and new goggles, dont think my lungs can handle much more rust dust.
Nissan like to use foam to hold water in the crevises so the tin worm has somewhere to thrive.
Repaired the back of the vent panels on the bottom of the rear 1/4s

Removing seam sealer revealed more rust. Cheers Nissan.
Thought id may aswell strip the whole arch back to metal, just to check.
May aswell seam weld, bit more rigidity and less chance of water seeping into the panel joins
Inside repaired and bit of seam weld
Driver rear almost complete.
Just the sill to do on the driver side. No more installments for a few weeks now, back to work for me

I wonder do you actually lose any weight after fixing all of the rust spots, that green one could've also been better in the end if the "leftover" rust was all that you photo'd here, would've been less work left there, my guess is you decided it's unrepairable which sounds legit.
Though for a lightweight N15, wouldn't it be smarter to turbo an 1.4 Sedan? that'd be lighter than a N/A SR20 Hatchback if i'm not wrong, don't judge me though if i'm wrong there, i'm more focused on N16s and that turquoise beauty you see on the left is nowadays heavier than stock, probably should put up some pics of what i've been doing during past year.
Though who am i to talk about lightweight, i drive that thing's younger brother which weights at least 270 kilos more and has 30 horses less, stock weight is around 1360s if i don't remember wrong.

Quite wrong, the 1.4 and 1.6 engines use cast iron blocks the SR is Aluminium, then you have all the added weight of the bits required for turbo. Manifold/turbo/pipework/intercooler etc
If you remove the running gears from both the difference in weight would be negligible just because it's a lesser engine doesn't mean its a lighter car.
