To avoid the run around for estimates and shops telling me i need other things i dont need to replace. How much do you think it would be to get this area re-welded and shaped into place..

Would i even need it to be welded on?

Can anyone give an estimate from experience or recommend a shop in Los Angeles to fix it to stock quality?

This is off of a 94 Civic EX...Does any place make these aftermarket oem fitment?

 

any help?

 

the pics you took arent good enough. there are several things wrong with the car but you only show pics of the side apron and its a partial. take better shots not so zoomed in. of the radsupport, the apron and the side impact beam.

you have two options from looking at those pics 1 is to fix it with the existing parts that are on there (via frame machine pulling and dolly and hammer and torch)

or to replace all of those pieces with new ones.

repair is cheaper then replacement repair

 

Well the reason i only took one pic is because the radiator support is really jacked up so im automatically replacing that.

Secondly, the side i showed you i'd prefer to get it replaced because that metal on that area is week i can bend it with my hand so the mission was kinda to go the More practical way and not the cheaper way. Kinda get what im saying, i rather have it replaced to look correct also.

At the lower tip by the radiator support as u can see in the pic, it's really weak as for the radiator support also. I took off the radiator support with my hands, that's how thin the metal is. I am going with a factory rad support i just wanted to clean these side areas back to stock first, but i will get you more pics in a sec so you can check it out.

 

the apron and rad support are not structural parts of the car and they are pretty much paper thin and that is expected from them. however depending on how severe the rad support is bent will determine the cost of repair

 

Hey from what I can see you should replace the radiator support and the sheet metal from the support that goes back to the seam sealer before the strut tower and as long as that top piece looks ok and then fender lines up then i would leave it because its hidden but if its a problem cheapest way would be to cut the spot welds remove the metal then beat it back into shape weld it up grind it put some seam sealer on it a little paint and its done I would get aftermarket panels Ive never had a problem with structural metal lining up!!! And to the guy above who said its not a structural part of the vehicle your a RETARD dont give shitty advice!!

Hopes this helps Ryan

 

Thanks for the grand advice, so I'm in search of that part before i go hacking at the JY, can you point out which part this is on this page...for some reason i cant tell if it's 11 and 15 or not...can u see if u can point it out, i think im blind..

hey I would say you need number 10 and 11!!!

 

Ah, i had less damage than that and it was like $2500. You'll need 8, 10, 11, 13. you may be able to live without 13, but you'll never know until you start cutting. labor alone is gonna be probably $1500, whether they fix or replace parts, then factor in any parts you need, plus cost of paint, masking, additives, disposal fees, etc. You're probably at $3500 if you get it done RIGHT and don't half *** it.
