    So I own a 1988 Accordpony. :/ she's having a hard time... two rust holes on each side, not-working alternator and her engine's mileage is 334k. :/ I'm not going to scrap as I spent a fortune on that poor pony. What to do with these tho? :(

    That rust damage looks bad.
    Even worse, the visible rust damage on a car is often minor compared to the rust damage that you can't see.
    If the engine is bad too, your car may very well be beyond hope.
    I suggest fixing what you can to make her drivable, and preparing for the day that she inevitably dies.
    Sorry.:cry:

    Oh my...rust is automotive cancer...I would hate to say it but, well, you should keep her drivable, but you need to be prepared to either A: Spend the money in order to fix the damage (AKA a LOT of money), of B:...replace her...

    My suggestion is to find some new car parts to replace that.
