Unhappy how bad is this?

OK, well first off, my car is not a 7th gen.. its a 92 civic, but I have a question.. how bad is this rust on the bottom? I just got the car recently pretty cheap, hoping to turn it into something good, but before I go ahead and spend all my money, I'd like to know if I'm good to go for another couple years with all that rust on the bottom... and if it would make sense to try and get rid of it, or would it be a better idea to find a new body for it? And how much would I be looking at to get rid of that rust?









Thanks

Yeah get that fixed for sure. Then spray some rubberized undercoating to prevent more rust later.

Once you get it fixed, they sell rubberized undercoating in a can for $5 at the store. Just spray it on, let it dry for a day or so, and you're done.

HappyGilmore is an unknown quantity at this point
get it done before it eats through the floor board. I've seen some cars from used car dealers with a small hole under the car. I guess they are hoping for unsuspected customer to buy it off the lot w/o fixing it.
