17 years up north obviously knew their would be damage in their, cut it all out and fixing it up. Car will never see another canadian winter again cant wait.

Yup. I'm in calgary I know how it goes, did this to mine when I was 14 should be a pretty easy fix. Don't use "tin" just go buy a panel of 22 gauge or something.

Hey guys after afew hours a day at afew days a week, finally completes the body work on thecivic, just afew fix ups then paint booth next week.
Inner rear fenders wells were the biggest job took most of my time..

Used my friends account at napa for the paint products. Silver civic with 2l of paint + clearcoat+ hardener with tacking cloths came up too 678$ is that normal because its silver by any chance??

Meanwhile heres the beauty before paint. Show you more next week.

use some seam sealer on all of those seams, and then use a coating product to cover the metal. it will both seal and quiet the rocks and road debris that will hit it as well as prevent rust issue.

Thanks guys and yah seam sealing it all and for the wheel wells im using tar too cover it all up and waterproof it.
and yah i used two complete quarter panels the rest was fabrication some steel. Glue and welded them on welded everything else also. Then covered it up with bondo and putty.


Got a body shop painting it just had too supply paint. Their gonna sponsor the car. So i got the professional spraying for free paint and clear should come out great.

Did you seriously rivet all of those panels on??

dupes4lyfe

The inner fender yes the other part was tapping screwed in tight, 3m adheaive glue. Took out the screws, then welded afew spots too make it stronger then covered all the holes with bondo and putty.

Just used the screws too pull the two pieces together and hold it in place.
Looks like rivets aha

Used some spray asphalt in the inside, its never gonna see some salt again is it a good idea too leave some parts primered ? As in. Underneath the rear bumper the area where the mud flaps go.
