I recently drove off a cliff in my 1991 Honda Civic... and rolled it 4 times...

the engine still runs, and the body needs some filler and primer... but the roof is pretty beat up... i am thinking of putting a new one on, or something,.... i really am not all that sure about the whole thing,... i have some friends that can help me out localy with the actuall project... but any suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated...

since i have limited posts, it probably would be best to contact me on ICQ or AIM or MSN

i know this is off topic but...

how fast were you driving? or was it a 'real' accident?

i feel sorry for your car... i did something similar

 

So you want to possibly weld another roof on it?

 

i was driving too damn fast, that is all i can say... and it was a "real" accident, i rolled 4 times down a 150 drop of about 60-70degrees

anyhow, i am about as suprised that the car can still run, as the police and paramedics are that i am alive. quite an amazing story..


and to the second post, yes i think a new roof is in order... any thoughts on price range for something like that? should i just go to a wreck yard or such and get one?

 

Are you planning on doing this yourself? There can be a **** load more damage that you might not be able to see right away. Things can be tweaked, bent, etc... and you wont notice it at first. Not trying to get on your case just making sure you know what you are getting into.

 

if you have no experiance then don't even attempt it.

 

its a 91 civic... why dont you just go out and buy another one...

 

it probably does have small issues that arnt apparent, and i have a friend that has done this kind of stuff before...

also, yes, i could go buy another one, but i want to use this as a learning project... rebuilding it and such

 

all i can say if the frame is bent and beyond repair ditch it... say goodbye cuz its going to the scrap yard then the be a little metal box..

its not worth fixing and waste your money... save it for your next car... and next car get lower springs so you dont flip
