Hey everyone, I've got a few questions i'd like answered, I've got a Third gen Civic hatch which I just ******* love to death, I woulden't trade it for a thing in the world, Anyways, It has rust, and no one makes replacement 1/4's / rockers for these cars and I do NOT want to bondo it, What would you all suggest I do in this situation?

 

Try the salvage yards, but even then I'm willing to bet that quarters will be hard to find. If the rust isn't too bad try patching it and doing a bit of body work. But if it's really bad and you absolutely need replacements, the only thing I can say is search hard lol.

 

most body shops can patch the rust for you, no matter how much rust there is, then just take it home, light bondo over it, and then paint! anways thats what I did for my old prelude, my crx needs it too, ohio sucks for hondas

 

well if you cant find a panel for it which is going to be very hard gaurenteed!

so your next best bet is to take a piece of sheet metal and fab up your own panel. cut out your old panel and hten weld the new one in.. hit it with some mar glass and then bondo and your good.

 

once you have the area open put some por 15 on all the rust you can get to in order to help keep it from coming back. also use weld thru primer on all the areas your gonna weld. it would really suck to do all that work and then have it come back through in a year or two
