hey guys ive been subscribing to a lot of build threads and i cant quite afford a drivetrain upgrade so im doing the body in the mean time. hope u guys follow. im a collision repair tecnician for toyota and im applying these qualities found in toyota/lexus/scion quite different then hondas. i dont know how to post pics yet but when i figure it out i will so u fellow H-T'rs can see, here the low down on my hatch and what ive done to it Its an 88 std w/ Si 5spd. rolling on GSR Fat 5's wrapped in Toyo Proxies T1S. slotterd front discs provided by powereslot. Dropped on KYB shocks w/ POS ebay universal coilovers.(soon to be skunk2 suspension). the car was in a front accedent no frame damage just poor body work. Hood,fenders, doors are painted the rest oxidized clear-coat faliure with basecoat damage... so far i have started in the rear quarter panels removed most of the dents and filled them with a good quality filler and applied epoxy primer. so ill try and post some pics and let me know what u guys think. thanks

 

yes!! post up pics and some details. going to try my hand at bodywork my self and sounds like im in the same boat as you. front end damage and dings on the rest of the car.

 

okay guys heres the pics


Front end. not to bad


so far my progress in straightening the quarter panel


poor body work. soon will be perfect


worst engine ever but it pulls ok for 70HP. ZC coming soon


just for ***** and giggles

tell me what u guys think. subscribe and follow please. thank you H-T

 

*subscribed* my hatch looks like yours... only no fancy rotors, fat fives, or front end... yet (the front end is on the doner car still). any ways lookin GREAT so far.

 

thanks bro.

 

G/L
i'm suscribed as well

i'm starting my body work in the winter so it would be nice to learn a few things here

 

Love the Superior Blue std's.

Looks like a clean car to start with. Good luck with the build.

 

thnks man, yea u guys need any help when doing body work let me know i will do everything to help my fello H-T'rs out.

yea the superior metallic is very nice but im not sure if i am going to keep it the same. im thinking full color change to tahitian green but idk yet,

 

love that color, looks clean. but will look even cleaner when your done with body work and paint.

 

UPDATE!!!!! okay so i finally got my right quarter panel all straight and primered. except for this in little eyebrow. its very faint but you can feel it, i also got my wing straight and in primer. i need to wet sand them throw another coat of primer and it will be ready. pics will be coming later

 

nice
