95 Civic EX -- Online sites to purchase car chassis or frame?
I recently acquired this 1995 civic ex with a b20 in it.
I like the car and so does my wife so ill be attempting to
repair it. The car got into a front driver side collision but is
repaired but not quite a good repair. The shock tower is jb welded
the fender side is body filler and all that crap. Lets just say . . ..
they sucked at it. Is there any place I can purchase this whole driver side
online? What is it called? Please throw me some suggestions.

If by skins you mean fenders, than you should either check a local junk yard for them or you can go to the dealer in my sig. And how about posting some pics so we can help a little better?
No not fenders. If it was fenders itll be easy to find. Its basically the chassis or frame of the car but I think theres tack weld that can be grinded off so you can pull it apart. Its the whole thing on driver side from the shock/strut tower to where the engine mount is. Everything is misaligned and its not safe at all.
honestly--- it'd be a whole lot smarter/quicker/easier/cheaper to buy a shell (same car with no engine) and just swap over things.
since OP didnt put a location ---- its just guessing, but I see shells of eg civic chasis for well under a 1k, in good shape. Or look for an eg that needs an engine, doesnt run, whatever. They can be had for 500, or less.
It's going to be alot less frustration to just swap an engine out, then try to do the body work/paint etc etc to fix that civic. Engine swaps can be done by a shop for under a 1k in labor. Take a wrecked car to a body shop and see how much they want to fix it. Engine swaps arent any big deal, if you feel comfy redoing a subframe in a car, you can sort out a engine swap.
Plus, you get a parts car. Swapping over parts with whatever you have now. Its truly the better option then trying to piece together a ton of parts, then attempt body work on your own. Then theres the possibility of frame straighten, then you might have to paint, etc etc.
Safer, cheaper, quicker, easier, and smarter, to just buy a cheap shell, and swap things over.

I've never seen anyone selling these items. Body panels yes. This? No. If you cannot find it at Majestic Honda then it's not for sale retail.
Your only option would seem to be to take it to a reputable body shop or purchase a car where replacement parts are easily obtainable. But it sounds like since you're somewhere stuck on Gilligans island
it would also probably cost prohibitive to even get such parts to you, even if they were available.

Here you go. I found a way to post pic from the original thread.
See theres a damage on the right side of the pics that has a greyish
color to it. THats actually jb weld or something. Need parts for this whole side
because the motor shifted a little. Car is driveable though and runs great.

You're going to need to look for a front clip. I wouldn't call that driveable. One minor accident and the whole thing is going to crumple and kill you.
Thats what I was thinking. Get a whole new front clip. Does the front clip from hmo include these. It says fenders, bumper and hood so my guess that it wont include what I need. Any suggestions where to get a front clip online?
