Too much rust

hey whats up everhyone, just found out about this site a little while age. I was wonderign if you could help me out with somethig. I just got a 1989 Civic Dx from my sister. The problem is that its been sitting in the weather for like 2 years! the body only has a little rust but tires are bad, it was a job getting the front tire off. what could I do to control the rust.

sand it down good put some paint on it so the problem dont get worse or cut it out weld new metal in or bondo it...

ya, sand/grind out the rust....use something like a naval jelly to inhibit it, then fill, prime, paint, if its still bad, cut the metal out 1/2 inch to an inch and weld a new peice in.....

hey, thanks for the ideas, do ya no what could be up with my power steering? Its just feels harder and harder to turn.

pump is probly gone mate post up some pics of the rust so we get a better idea of how bad it is

or do u have power steering?

you might need some more power steering fluid

where do ya put the power steering fluid in at, under the hood theres a container conected to where the steeing wheel is but it saysd brake fluid
