Re: Rust problem on a 92 Civic Cx, What to do?
Yeah, sand it off totally, put on some good rust resistent printer and
repaint it, make sure you sand it off from the back side as well if possible. It will definately slow down the problem, but it won't stop it "Martin Pisz" <spam@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:FJ%Cc.6542$mO7.2068@nntp-post.primus.ca... > Hi > I have a 1992 Civic Cx,I just noticed the problem and wanted to know what > to do.

I know this is not a big problem, but I want to slow it down before it
becomes an issue. Elmo P.

Re: Rust problem on a 92 Civic Cx, What to do?
I have found that using a steel brush on an electric drill is the least
painful way to remove rust. I use a small diameter (2" / 50 mm) brush with fine bristles. Mine is Vermont American part number 16788. On surfaces pitted with rust the brush seems to work better than sand paper. Be prepared to prime in the same session as sanding and brushing, you don't want bare metal to be exposed for any length of time.

Re: Rust problem on a 92 Civic Cx, What to do?
Actually it is a big problem as what appears at the surface hides what's
really below it. Honda's are notorious for rust and once it begins... It is the beginning of the end. Do a cosmetic repair and press on. Anything more is a waste of time and resources.

Re: Rust problem on a 92 Civic Cx, What to do?
Compared to what you'll see on most hondas the same age as yours, these
pictures show fairly minor rust. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it too much - you still have several years before that grows into a serious problem. The easiest thing you can do now, though, is to clear the drainage holes behind both those body panels. If you look/feel behind both spots, you should be able to feel square drainage holes that would let water out from the cavity in the body panel. The one for the spot to the rear of the wheel will be up under/inside the plastic bumper cover. They clog with dirt and rust flakes fairly easily - inability of trapped water to drain out is the main cause of this rust. Clear them completely from rust and dirt - a toothbrush can be handy, as well as something pointy. If you can access the rusty spots from the back side of the panel - through the drainage hole - you can cover them with a coat of motor oil which will also slow the progress of future rust. The toothbrush can also be handy here.
