Default dc2_dustin's 1994 integra ls build

wasn't planning on building another honda for a while but ended up getting a 94 integra ls for 135 bucks!! bone stock full ls, running and everything works but basically the negatives are the (automatic) transmission won't go into 3rd and it looks like the rear end had received a nasty blow..haven't come across many honda's without damage..anyway this will hopefully become an extensive build as i plan to run b20 vtec on 11 psi...the first things i'm looking to address immediately is the 5 speed conversion and the body work, if i can get the rear to look flush and like it should i plan to spray the whole car back tt the original charcoal grey

Good god the rear of that car is F'd.... I would honestly just fix it up a little and sell it.

Good luck with it though if you decide to keep it.

yeah i didn't notice it much till i ripped the rear apart..if i can get everything flush and looking descent i'm going to definitely keep it but if all else fails i'll end up selling or trading

Yeah, that's quite an extensive repair. I'd throw a trans in it, some paint and sell it.

i think it looks worse than it is..i mean it's pretty beat but i'm pretty sure a few hourse of cutting, banging, welding and grinding i can get everything to flush out hopefully :/ i don't care what it looks like from the inside as it will be coverd mainly just want the outside to look fresh

Looks like the rear panel "17" in this picture is discontinued also...

thanks @ bluto! ..took a while but i dreadfully started in on the body..needless to say 80 lbs of bondo removal, lots of hammering, heating, grinding and obviously welding i'm finally starting to get some of the pieces and shape where i need them..this week i will be finishing up the quarter panel, filling and shaping it then sanding the whole body and filling every imperfection before paint.

this side only required a little bit of tweaking to line up (pic is before btw not after obviously lol)



this side is what required all my attention..(previous ownwer) used 80lbs of bondo and it's no where near close to lining up or looking natural
