Worth fixing?

[Mr. Pockets]

If the car's a rust bucket, I probably wouldn't bother trying to fix any of it. For me, I'd much prefer mechanical issues over rust because the former can be fixed with new or rebuilt parts. The latter requires much more work, which means either time, money or both.

That being said, I have a small rust spot on my right quarter. It's just paint bubbles so far, and I know it's because the car had bodywork after the previous owner's several accidents. I thought about having the whole quarter replaced, but as Danny said it's not worth the risk. I don't drive the car that much any more, and certainly not in winter, so I think patching it up would last a good long time.
