The underside of my Honda is for the most part clean, because it looks like the underside was oiled regularly. However, the frame, where it curves around by the rear wheel wells by the tank, needs help! I noticed a few holes starting last year, from where there was a factory hole. Now it looks downright scary. The car is an '83 with 64K miles. I wouldn’t bother, except it’s the most reliable efficient car I’ve ever owned period. One year of ownership, and I’ve only done pads, rotors, and a battery in it. It’s like a brand new car mechanically. I’m not giving up on it, it’s worth putting money into. It will probably run forever. So if anyone does this, or knows of someone experienced who does it for a reasonable price, let me know. Thanks! Help this car! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/jettagli1991/hondafront.jpg?t=1174507350](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/jettagli1991/hondafront.jpg?t=1174507350) ---

If your frame is rotting it’s time to throw it away. ---

Never!!!111 No more scrap the car comments. I won’t drive a newer car, nor do I feel like owning another problematic one. I’d take this car cross country tomorrow with no worries. Besides, it’s not in the most crucial area. ---
