So my 93 EG Coupe is in great running condition engine runs beatifully fairly low mileage e****ally for a Honda (115k) but i have the some really bad rust in the typical spots and until yesterday thought it was just a cosmetic problem. So i was riding though Lynn, MA and if anyone knows I think MA has some of the worst pot holes in America! So i hit this HUGE one in the dark. Thought everything was cool, next day this is what I see



Looks like the the screw that was holding my bumper on to the rest of my body is screwed in to metal so rusted out that when I hit the pot hole the screw just finally gave. Heres a better shot of what im talking about



Anyone got any ideas for a temp fix so my bumper wont be hanging off? or an type of estimate for repair. I know body work is expensive and the rust looks pretty extensive (nice ryhme ey) I probally wouldn't be able to afford to get all the rust removed. Thanks in advnace

 

duct tape actually works great to hold body panels together but it might hurt the paint if you're not careful

 

Well on my 89 civic I have rust all around both wheel wells and down under the doors. The estimate I got was to cut out the rust, weld in new metal and paint it. It was $500-600. SO for that one side I think you should e able to get it fixed for around $200, possibly less.

 

thats not to bad unfortunetly i have it on both sides. Thanks for input though guys. Im gonna have a body shop have a look at before bust out the duct tape

 

damn, my rust, is over the top of the wheel well, i am gonna get that fixed asap tho, i dont want that to happen... good luck, hope it dont cost to much!!!

 

yea i didnt really think it was a problem it didnt really look the bad the corners by end of the doors are a lot worse.

 

that happened to mine too because it was so rusted, but i just popped it back in a couple of times. Until it was really bad, then i got a drill and drilled in another nail through the side, now it looks betteer than stock, a lot less space in between.
