I have a 1993 honda civic and it's rusting out in the quarters, really bad... I need to replace the quarter pannels but I can't find any where ever I look I need hlp finding them... anyone...

 

Salvage yards are your best bet, usually a car manufacturer will stop producing parts for a vehicle after about 10 years, so it can be difficult to find new OEM replacements.

I just looked in my estimating system and the only outer quarter panel so far that has been discontinued for a 93 Civic is the 93-95 right side quarter for a coupe. Left side is available for a coupe for $468.50, both outer quarter panels are available for a hatch $468.50 each, and for the sedan both are available at the same price $468.50 each.

If you are unable to find one in the salvage yard, check with your local Honda dealership and see if they can order you one.

Patch Panels http://www.rustrepair.com/repa...&p=sm

 

You dont want to do a whole quarter replacement for rust. Patch panels should be the ticket.

 

what about for big creased dents?

 

I got my new quarters on ebay, and they have worked like a charm. and its a 4dr so the quarter came with the piece that comes down to the rocker panel. 125$ for 2 aftermarket panels.

 

Have you put them on yet?

 

yeh, one done yesterday and the other is goin on tomorrow. I just made an account with we-todd-did racing so I'll get some pictures up soon, before its duraglassed and still in raw form.

 

How do the gaps look?

 

Damn thats a deal if they fit decent and didn't rip you on shipping, good job.

 

gaps in the door are great, front my inexperience in in welding the bumper gap maybe be off like 2/32s of an inch, but nothing that im worried about, its a fun car, not a show car.

 

I was talking to a guy recently who thought that the front fenders (where it meets the bumper) matched the opposite rear side quarter panel where the standard rust is. He had a 92-95 hatch.
That was the first I've heard of that working, but it may be worth a try, or if anyone has done this before......?

 

how are you replacing these panels? i have a quarter that i cut out myself from a junk yard and im being told that the metal is too thin to weld on....what am i doin wrong is there special specs on welding hondas high alluminum content metal?
