[net.auto] Patchwork on '78 HONDA

	I have seen RE:RE on this network before and assume it means
	that I'm responding to a response...correct me if I'm wrong.

	>First off--How bad is the rust on your Honda?
	
        >And how old is the car?  How much longer do you intend to
	>keep it?

	>Is just the sheet metal rotted out or is the frame rotted out?
		
	The body of my 1978 Honda is rusted but not the frame.  The
	sheet metal is rotted out in one place encompassing an
	area approximately 3 inches by 5 inches on the fender.  The
	other affected areas are smaller involving only 1 inch holes.
	I am particularly interested in the patch itself-how long it
	will last, if it will crack, and if it will look like a patch.

	I intend to keep my Honda until it dies or until the cost of
	repairs exceeds its worth (which is currently only about $1500).
	If, however, I collect enough money by next year, I would like
	to trade it in for another car or van.  At that time, I will
	most probably send out a net.auto alert, asking all the users
	for help finding a new car.    

	Thank you for any help.
	Sincerely, Jenny
