i know nothing about body work so here it goes, how many years of summer an winter driving will my cars body last because its got some bad rust on the finders and under the door ...and i dont want to spend really anything on the body for now. i just want to save for engine S/C etc..

heres a general idea of the condition

body rot begins to speed up once it has fully penetrated the metal. a quarter size hole will be the size of a baseball in 9 months, in moist area's.
you are better off bondo'ing the crap out of it now, just to save whats left, then when u have the money and time, get it done right.

so if i just leave it, will it still be fixable but just cost more $$$?

If it just the doors and the front fenders, just let it go till you are ready to do it right(buy new ones/used rust free ones)...bondo is not the right way. Rear quarters would be better to fix sooner than later

the rear is all good and everything else is fine exept the 2 front fenders and the hole unfer the drivers door

mattdel

the hole under the door will stretch out to the floorboard with a nice salty watery winter, easily. its happening to my explorer as we speak.
