I'm not so sure anymore. Do all the '93 - '95 EX coupes have power windows and locks? Because I pulled the power mirrors out of a '93 or '94 Si coupe and it had manual windows and locks.

Nice find..a nice project indeed.

gqstatus05 · 09-30-2008, 03:36 PM

For al that rust on the hood you are better off going to junkyard and replacing it. NO need to sand, grind, bondo, etc.

Lol. my mom would be pissed if i broght a car like that home and parked it in front of our house. lol. Yes i still live with mom while im going to school. lol

JDMCRX · 09-30-2008, 05:20 PM

Posted more pics. Yeah im using all metal to repair it and at most 1/16-1/8" of bondo to smoth it out.

The quarter panel pieces are for a Hatch which are pretty different.

So tomorrow ill cut and tack the new panels on and have to make bumper mounts. The coupe fender ends punch up at 40deg's.

Some pics of my other car.
