Also the rust has gotten so bad that the floor where the driver puts his/here feet now caves in when you step there. I was just wondering if this affected the frame of the car and if it could still pass safety. Finnaly how much would it cost 2 repair?

It wouldn't pass state inspection in Mass. No rust thru allowed here and probably most places. Back when you could pull in like Fred Flintstone and they didn't care as long as your heap could get out of the shop. In a unit body car which this is floors are the frame of the car. You really should have a body shop give you an idea of what it would cost or whether it's worth it at all. If the rust is just that door and just that floor it may have been damaged once and most body work will rust faster than original coach work. This isn't the easiest DIY problem. A real body shop could tell you if it really is a safety concern structurally. Some can just be bondoed over and some shouldn't but rather repair metal welded in, T Guest Anonymous Poster Jan 9, 2008, 9:22 PM Post #3 of 4 (2363 views) Re: Honda Civic 1993 4dr rust problem Sign In no, the rusted area underneath the drivers feet is still the original frame as the factory made. And anything 1000$ and under seems as a reasonable fix to me.

You can get that fixed right for way under $1,000 US. The door might be available in the right color if you hunt for it with a popular car like that. Can't explain the door but the floor can rust from salty water that comes off your shoes and gets thru the carpeting. Any water actually but more common where roads are salted. I've seen that just pick on the driver's floor a few times with assorted cars. I've fixed lots of old cars with rust problems - all frame rust on real chassis cars as they were good cars otherwise. I'd just ask a body shop about this as you are a cash customer and they should love that vs dealing with ins work and could give you a decent price or perhaps tell you that you could do it yourself - I can't 'cause I can't see it of course, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
