Just spotted this Miata which seems like a great deal. How difficult is it to repair the rust pictured? I’ve never tackled a rust repair before.

As long as it’t only that location, if you take your time, are really meticulous, and have the proper tools, I would say it could be done the right way in two weekends. The problem with Miatas is that they are very prone to rust in other, very important areas. So I would be weary of a car that has rust on the rocker, even though that looks like its actually body damage do to hitting something rather than a rust-through due to age.

I appreciate the feedback! If I end up getting a Miata or other second car I want to keep it awhile which is why I’m weary of rust.
