what are some of yall doing about the rust in the quarters?

 

You mean besides living with it?
Honda 1/4 rust.....worst part of owning a Honda.
The right way to fix it is to have the metal cut out and replaced. A "fix" will just end up coming back in the future.

 

just think of it as progressive weight reduction

LMFAO
Is it on the outisde of the car or inside?Also, did it penetrate? or is it surface rust? The thing is its better to take care of it sooner rather than later

 

Hopefully you peeled the rubber liners off.....if not, go look at it, and do it.

 

Yeah all those do is hold dirt and moisture=rust.

 

I've lost count as to how many Prelude owners I have saved from hell with that. A week after I bought my 93 in 1999, a guy told me to do it, I DIDN'T listen! 2yrs later the bubbles started, and a few years later I had a 2" hole!
I grinded it out with a few different dremel bits and primered it, painted it Rust-Oleum black, hasn't spread in 4yrs!
Going to do a bondo job on it soon, and just paint it as good as I can with an air-brush.....I just want a clean 2-3yrs out of it. Mind you I drive ONLY dry and about 2k miles a year.

 

now why not fix it the right way man?you say cut it out but you are not gonna fix yours that way? come on.

 

I had about a four inch section cut out and replaced in both my rear quarters on my 94 VTec.

****ing northern car. I drove all the way from NC to Mass to get it. Just cuz it had full leather interior in pretty minty condition and 88k miles.
