Well sence it was nice out today I decided to do some work on my 92 lx that has been sitting sence winter due to a leaky gas tank. I have known there was a hole in the drivers side floor board so i wanted to know just how big it was. I removed most of the intereor peeled back the carpet and this is what i found :-X



the rest of the car isnt in the best of shape eather :-X :-X




About the only good things right now are the low milage y7 and ex trans under the hood lol. Seeing all this rust would anyone make an effort to save this car or should i start looking for another shell :-\

 

get another car. its easier and saves headache.

 

ditch that man. sorry

 

damn,,,
how does that happen.

 

Salt is a bitch damn ohio winters

 

yeah i would just ditch it and get a new shell and swap the motor over, thats your best bet

 

I would say it COULD be savaged with just the quarter panel rust which wouldn't be easy, but with that floor board... I don't think so man.

 

blow it up

 

If you know how to weld or someone that does it could be a fun project.

 

ya :/ I think im going to yank the motor and anything else thats good and scrap the rest. I should have done it last year when scrap price was up good.

 

You got stage 3 car cancer on that thing... So unless you wanna make a good sleeper out of it... DITCH IT, part it out or swap the motor or something.

 

get something else bro. not worth all the headache

 

wow that is bad !!!!!!!!!!!! and i live in ohio and havent seen a civics floor boards rust out that bad !!!!!!!!!!

 

Im going to go ahead and say no man. It would be better to get a different shell and start fresh. less money too

 

I would say ditch it, Unless you want a Daily driver... That's prolly what i would use it for.. Since the y7 isn't really that good of a motor anyways. Just my .02 cents.

 

ditch.

 

Cut her loose...

 

let her go, its cheaper for a new shell.

 

Weight reduction!
Can it be saved? Yes. Is it cost effective? Not a chance.

 

if you "save her" now it still will be a ticking time bomb in the near future. that rust will come back like hell.

 

Believe it or not thats not even close to the worst floor i've seen in a 5th gen civic (i'm aware of one daily driven civic that litterally has nothing between the door sill and the exhaust tunnel, the hole is about 12" x 18" the only thing covering it is the carpet and a floor mat.) The quarters are pretty bad though (you can buy certafit replacement panels for $120CDN, each over here though, should be cheaper in the US. unless its an EX i'd probably junk it.

 

I know how it feels, but you have to let go. Get something newer.

 

are there any good parts of it? part out the stuff that's worth anything and trash the rest.

 

Ditch it.

 

To much cancer, dump her
