take it wat u plan on doing a rebuld or jus parting it out

 

rebuilding for sure

my plans are to rebuild the rear of it one of my friends is a body specialist and he will help me with all the rear work and the paint it is white now but ill probably go black

i want to turbo it eventually probably a greddy t04 kit

 

i looked at it and made a small parts list for the rear end ill put it here and tell me if you think there is anything else needed

rear bumper
rear glass
trunk lid
tail lights
trunk hinges
rear absorber

i really hope that the rear didnt get pushed in

 

i would but it! i mean if its not fixable then parting the body will be nice!

 

Looks like a good deal, especially with all the mods already done to it.

 

ya i'm just not too hot about parting it out cause i dont want the shell of a car sittin in my driveway for months with the parts that never sold on it

 

Just make sure the body is straight b4 you go sprayin black...

You're going to need frame work.

 

werd you drive no car...and want to buy a car...

your sn is 94c1v1cex, envy?

wtfstickle

 

By your cousin's car for 700

Buy a shell, no engine/mods.

Put all the mods from your cousin's car and put them in the shell.

I'd take that route if I had a wrecked car.

 

how much frame work you think?

 

hey do it man nice project keep it up

 

alrighty i'm going monday to get the title switched ill be posting the progress still any ideas i'm open for project ideas

 

dude i work at a body shop. and they wouldnt even look at that car. your goin to need new quarter panel/s the driver one is buckled to ****. and u prolly have roof damage too. and your goin to need a rear tub put it. the hours on that would alone total that car. not to mention the price on new quarters and rear tubs, trunk, glass, bumper, defuser. id say buy it, and buy a another shell and drop the goods into that one.

 

that picture makes it look alot worse than it actually is for some reason ill have to put up a different one i have the car now and when i get my cam back ill put diff ones on i got the trunk lid off and most of the back tore down... very bored today but i like a challenge and i'm gonna go with fixing the rear of this one... just cause alot of people say i cant... ya i'm that kinda guy

whats price on a quarter and a rear tub? and hours isnt a problem for me i have a whole summer b4 i start college to work on this thing and so does my best friend (the body specialist) so we'll probably spend alot of may-september rebuilding the rear end of this car and the passenger side is untouched... as unbelieveable as it may seem it is completely untouched throw me some numbers and ill see what i have to work with here cause i dont know the prices on body panels

 

yeah I wouldnt give him more than 500

 

Just take everyones advice and buy it and then swap out everything in to a new shell.......because it's just not worth trying to fix that one

 

i agree with kaoss, i wouldnt pay more than 500 and then i would just buy nice shell and swap everything over and part out whatever is left that is still in good shape such as doors, seats, fenders, front bumper, and so on
but thats just what i would do. .


also, i didnt bother to read any of the replies except for the OP's and the dude above me(kaoss) so nobody get all pissy if someone already said this . .

 

prices guys? i guess i just cant see how a whole shell can be cheaper than one quarter panel and possibly a tub... and the roof is fine no damage done there throw me some prices

 

That car is jacked, it would probably cost 5k to fix it. Buy it for 700, then pick up a real nice shell for 1000 and youll have a nice car.

Again, don't ask for prices, its going to be rediculous lol

 

so i can go get a shell with everything in it except a motor?

I wouldn't touch that project of replacing the rear end on that car for anything.

well i picked up 2 mint running civics (EJ1 and an EJ2), the EJ2 cost me 200 and the EJ1 cost me 500
and picked up 2 shells both EJ2's for 400 (200 each) which were for friends of mine

it's all about how much you look around.. you could get a shell in good condition prolly for like 200-400 bucks if you really look into it and swap that motor and tranny over to it. . but all and all, that car aint worth the hassel of fixin

and as i said, you can sell off all the extra **** left in or on it afterwards and prolly make most or all of the cash back that was spent on the shell
