It wont get through for its next wof. Been sitting out in the rain for the last few years with rego on hold. To metal plate it would cost a fortune so Im giong to bog the hell out of it before undercoating and selling it. Which is best, chicken wire rolled up or just screwed up newspaper to shove in all the rust holes to help fill the holes! news paper is easier to work with so Im guessing news paper would be the best! Any advice please!

get some fibreglass reinforced bog, that stuff is good for structural repairs

I brought a old TA22 Celica off a young fella who said all rust work was done and body was "mint".
After getting the shell sandblasted back to bare metal we found that the little snot had spent quite a bit of effort shaping up styrofoam sills and A Pillars with a quick smear of bog to smooth it off
Funnily enough his phone was no longer active and when they boys and I went to visit him he "didnt live there anymore"!

A nice piece of foam that will hold lots of water works well

Or you could get space invading foam and get some paint. And you can use what is left over on the house.

Use tin food cans, and there's your metal plating.

The most important part of this process is to take if for a decent run up a gravel road immediately after doing the under sealing. This gives it the "these are not the droids you are looking for" effect you want to achieve with the WOF inspector.

Paper mache is cheap, and paints ok when dry.

pffft FP, you are such a loser.The people 'in the know' just print a new WOF / Rego out on their PC at home, and stick it to the windscreen with Super glue.Make the WOF valid for a couple of years, that way they won't find out about the rust for ages.

The wof stickers are easy enough to print, it's the rego ones that are a bastard lol.

Car looked sweet as too. For a while.
