Saved from the crusher, hoping to make this into something fun.

 

it doesn’t look THAT bad, now pull the rest of the front end pieces off and look at it

 

Almost anything is salvageable. Even Uni-body can go on a frame table and be straightened. However, the shops that do it well won't be cheap. Most likely that will be what will be needed to be done to save it properly.

 

This is the main damage, the body still looks straight, won't know until I get this fixed and attempt to drive. What do yall think with these more pics?

 

You won't be able to visibly see a 1 degree shift in the frame rail. You may not even notice it in driving possibly. But maybe it won't be able to be aligned true or something of the like.

Until it goes onto a frame table, you won't know what the frame damage is like. By the looks, I would be surprised if there wasn't frame damage.

 

Well this car was purchased for dirt cheap im hoping it still drives straight and safe but I will definitely get the frame looked at by pros if I decide to drop some real money into it. Like I want to lol.

 

Looking like the hatch will soon join the family, just sharing my last project with yall

 

Hatch is running perfect and new suspension is in, wikk find out how it drives after getting a new rim and tire. Things looking good so far.

 

Good save! What happened to her?

 

Car runs like a clock upon first test drive, suspension fixed. She's still ugly but hey arnt we all lmfao.

to the last guy this car was hit by a truck and pushed off the road then left for dead at an impound yard. I'm in about 800 and everything works. Will update this thread thru the entire build. Gunna be expensive.

 

Love it. One more Honda Hatchie resurrected !!! Keep workin'. Good Luck.

 

what’s the status of the title?

 

No idea, was purchased as a lean sale,, and can't go to the dmv and do all that until I can drive it to get smogged because California is dumb. I will let ya know when I know

 

bet. be cool if it ends up being clean, but i have no idea how all that works.

 

Progress update, new fender, some no name wide *** wheels i traded for the messed up silver tires. New headlights on order and thats it so far, car driving and starting like a champ. Rear tailight is leaking water wich is annoying.

 

Passenger door is sagging and letting water in I need to figure that out as well.

 

Have you checked the door wire boot. If it's not in properly it lets water in just in front of the door. On the previous gen civics there was also a TSB about the body sealer just in front of the door under the front fender. I thought it didn't apply to the 6th gen but it might be an issue being yours was hit in that area.

 

I've seen that method being the problem, im gunna jack up the door and tighten the bolts first and hope that works first before I dive beeper into it, it's only slightly off.. just found an si gauge cluster u may thro inside but the red is all faded out from sitting in a junkyard. I replaced the gauge cluster it came with as I was from an automatic and while doing this and comparing the title and most recent sale I've discovered the car barley has 150k miles no the 200k plus the auto cluster said. Things are going to smooth somthing is guna give lol

 

Here is the TSB that I was talking about just in case you need it.
