Mazda 3 2006 rusted frame

[agile crater]

Is there anything I could do to slow down the wear and add more support to it.

Also would you have an estimate of how long I have left on it? I would like another 5k km out of it if possible.

[kindred sapphire]

Bro the frame rails are GONE

its done

take it to the junk yard

[agile crater]

Seriously? This dude was acting like I could drive all the way back home coast to coast with it and sell it there mann

[agile crater]

Do you think it could last me another month at the minimum?

[shrewd dune]

I think it may be able to last a month but be extremely careful with it it could end up being a death trap with the current state of the frame

If you can try to reinforce it

[agile crater]

Yeah I'm driving like a grandpa rn lol.

What would you do to reinforce this ? Would taping it be a okay redneck way of adding a bit of life to it. Rn my car isn't shaking or anything feels pretty stable

GG @agile crater, you just advanced to level 1! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[shrewd dune]

Duck tape idk

Maybe some wood or steel bars

Something sturdy

[agile crater]

I'm just fuckjngpissed rn should of came here first this mechanic had me go with 700$ in repairs acting like I could drive back.home from Alberta to BC with the state of the frame

Alberta to Québec *

[shrewd dune]

You’re going to Quebec?

[agile crater]

Nah I just arrived in Alberta from Québec staying all summer in BC was already thinking of selling the car at the end of the summer he was just talking about how when I get back home with it I could sell.it and I'm like so you're telling me i could drive back home okay with this (4.5k km about) and he's like yeah for sure and I'm like oh okay perfect then I just need jt to last me a around 3k kms ms until the end of the sumemer

[lavish lava]

Ya just cut out all the rusted metal and reweld new pieces on. No biggy

[shrewd dune]

Yeah I agree

There’s not much to do in your situation

[lavish lava]

I mean that is a lot to cut lmao

[shrewd dune]

Ik

But if it needs to stick around might as well try

[lavish lava]

And scrap metal price is on the rise

[shrewd dune]

Yeah

[lavish lava]

Doubt bro knows how to weld so he is gonna be spending $$$$

[shrewd dune]

True

[midnight echo]

That probably aint the only place you'd need to weld up lol

god fucking damn those mazdas like to rust

[shrewd dune]

Tbh I’d try to sell it and get something that is not rusted to pieces

[shrewd dune]

Minor rust

[midnight echo]

minor?

[lavish lava]

For a Mazda

[shrewd dune]

Yep

[midnight echo]

i'd scrap it and not sell that deathtrap to anyone

unless you lack morals then do what you want

[shrewd dune]

Well yeah I’d sell it to someone who needs parts

[lavish lava]

I have seen way way way worse lol

[shrewd dune]

So yeah I’d say your two options are get someone to weld reinforcement metal or sell parts that are in good condition

And get a new vehicle

[midnight echo]

That would've failed yearly mandatory inspection probably like 3 years ago here lol

But i mean eh yeh could be worse

[agile crater]

Thanks for the help I'll.check the area and see if anyone could do it for a decent price if not Ill.youtube how to weld ans start a new career

[shrewd dune]

Yeah it could be worse. At least it wont spontaneously combust, it'll only possibly crumble

[shrewd dune]

No problem man if you need anything, dm me

[agile crater]

My mechanicntold me the car would start shaking a lot if it fails rn its stable its only that middle part i showed you that's this busted up the rest isn't even chipped

[shrewd dune]

yeah try to get that welded or if its a financial burden try selling parts

[agile crater]

It's more the hassle of getting a new car plated and all out of home province that will be the issue. I'm currently alone but if it can last me till April I'm meeting up with friends so I won't be left stranded if anything happens.

[shrewd dune]

That's good

Careful with the winter though it's pretty shitty now and could accelerate the rusting

[agile crater]

Imma also go to a lift car wash and get some liner on the rest of the frames that's good. Is there any part of it that's not visible under directly that I should also Chek? Ill take a full video of it later so you have a full picture

[agile crater]

Legit driving like a grandpa like 20km under the limit

[shrewd dune]

Check any other rust on the vehicle

[shrewd dune]

Don't blame ya

Anything else you need?

[agile crater]

Gtg thanks a lot for the help again ill get a video sometime this week and send it to you

[shrewd dune]

Alright good luck from ontario

[agile crater]

I found a room.for the month ans my roommate is a mechanical engineer so maybe I could get someone to help me with the weld

[shrewd dune]

yeah maybe

[agile crater]

Good day!
