More Car (Auto) Advice

Here's another question then. I we decide to keep the Honda going for another 2-3 years, is it worth investing $1,000 to $2,000 in fixing the worst rust areas? This would be mostly for cosmetic reasons but I'm sure it would run even better if we fixed the rusty fenders, etc. :-) :-)

I would not spend a cent for cosmetic on that car (on any car:-). I did see lots of people that tried fighting rust. It was either only cosmetic at the surface and did not change anything or it was very expensive (e.g. restoration of a high value old timer).

But I assume the structure of the body is stable and fit. We are talking about cosmetic only, do we?

Yes, it would mainly be cosmetic, just so it doesn't look so run down!
Thx
