I had the same problems, man. The rust is finally gone, though. I took my car to a body shop, and had them just get rid of it all. Also, my linings are already gone, but it kept rusting. That's why I had to finally take the car to a body shop.

"how does it get rusted..i just re-coated mine with some tar..."

i heard it rusts often above the rear wheel well cuz water gets trapped in there. wen the water jus sits there it eventually rusts. wut i wanted to no wuz if it wuz safe to jus pull it off?

Ok,, this is a huge problem with hondas, the rear wheel wells, they are infamous for Rotting and rusting!! its 10x worse if you live in a state with winters and road salt.. i get my rear wheel wells redone about after every winter, even if i see a tiny rust because that is how i am with my car. but for some reason they rust out really easy, make sure that you keep your car very clean and waxed to avoid that problem. also make sure the lining the plastic thing in the wheel well is on tight and isnt missing, it keeps moisture out..

Luckily my CB7 is rust free...*knocks on wood*.

i had the wheel wells done about 3 times, just to make sure my whole car is in top notch condition.. its not rare to have rust there in hondas. dunno why they cant make them as durable as the fronts.

wow. thats just disgusting. hahaha. i hate peeps who let rust get out of control more than a lil dot.. it pisses me off.. and i laugh at them because theyre pathetic.

isn't that the rust on YOUR car cpmike?

anyways, i have the same problem... here's my rear quarter panel rust thats bubbling behind my touch up paint:



getting it removed is on the list of things to do next, but i'm gonna have to unfortunately remove it myself (my dad will probably help). i just can't be affording 700.00 for the body shop to weld in new metal and repaint both quarter panels
