I'm driving up to seattle from portland tomorrow morning to buy this civic and the pic I have shows a pretty big dent. I called the guy and he said that the rear passenger door doesn't open because of the dent. I have yet to do any body repair so I wanted to know from the pros how bad this looks and a ball park estimate for taking it to a body shop.
Thanks guys

Sorry about the small pics

 

probley best off just finding another door , not fixing that one.

 

yea? ok. When the door is locked closed prolly means that the lock mech got broke or crushed in the lock position right?

 

its probly just locked, ive had that alot were people are to lazy to even see if the doors are locked, id still just buy another door its easier then fixing the dent

 

ok. how hard is finding a wagon door? From what i've read, you can't just take the door off a sedan, it has to be a wagon

 

slam it and wheels!!

 

1991 Honda Civic Wagon 43xxx miles - $4950

Thats my plan! i have my old crx spings just need some shocks for an ef i think!

 

Just use the oem shocks from the wagon. It will allow the rear to go lower. check out honda civic wagon . com. Just take out the spaces. The door doesn't look bad. You can find a replacement.

the locks on those rear doors will stick over time if they aren't used regularly. you have to work the mechanism a bunch of times to free it up. however, it might actually be messed up because of the dent like the seller says. good luck and join up over at hondacivicwagon.com

 

Well i bought it. i'll post bigger pics of the dent later tonight. the dent actually goes into the rear quarter panel too

 

 

ok here it is


This is the dent

Also the dent

It doesn't look too bad,

 

it's in really good shape overall

 

yep. i was really impressed today by honda. when i bought the car, it had some cheap fred meyers key made and it barely worked in the locks. I went into honda to get the key copied (i just wanted one that said honda on it) and instead of copying my old key they took the vin and made one! I was so impressed with that system. now the key works perfectly in all the locks! was quite a blessing after getting the shaft of $60 for a window regulator

 

**** i think i saw this car today at albertson

 

 

which albertsons?!

 

off of sunnyside

 

Thats very possible. I'm on sunny side all the time. you got a wagon?

 

very nice pick up ! i always liked these wagons and hope to find a mint one, one day

 

I want a 4wd wagon!!!

 

i was in the red ek in the next row over. i tried trading for a wagon but no one wanted to put cash up for a trade. gl with your build

 

Haha, yea. do you live in Happy valley?
