this shows you what the extent is needed to fix the rust problems!!

I know what you mean when all the bodyshops turn you away, they say things like
"its a 12yr old car it aint worth it!" WANKS

I just shopped around and i found a boy who is willing to do the excact same job as the link above for a price of ?350 ($700ish)
Fair enough, he is a kind of a back street boy but i have seen his other work and he is mint!
Keep trying let us know

From what I can see, it might be too late for your civic. Mine was pretty bad, any worse and I would have been better off looking for another shell. Yours is visually much worse, and if there is that much that you can see, think of the areas that you can't see. The subframe, inner fenders, and other structural points could be rotting away as well. I hate to say it but I'd start looking for a cleanestock hatchback to modify. Then start swapping any aftermarket parts over.
