Okay, I need help finding a place that makes rear quarter panels for the CRX. Fiberglass, metal, I don't care! Rust sux0rz and there aren't any places in my city that will make or have them for a CRX. I live in Canada however, so a shop that could ship them to me would help .

 

your honda dealership...

 

last i knew the quarter panels aren't exactly replaceable... kinda formed into the roof a little etc. Generally got fix the rust I've heard you gutta cut it out and weld it some new sheet metal then paint paint paint etc..

 

sorry i should have mentioned honda is unnecessarily expensive.

 

i just got a new 1/4 panel from honda....
$591 retail, but if u got to http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com they have it for $386 and my honda dealer matched that...

the body shop is welding in the whole new peice this weekend, IM me next week and i'll show u guys some pics

 

its your only option for new quarters, unless you get it off of a wrecked car with no rust...

 

yea and i will not find a crx in my city without rust there so i guess it's up to honda.

 

i heard you could cut up a front quarter panel and use to repair rear wheel well's. I'm contemplating doing that.

 

i had rust in both my rear 1/4 because my REX has 400,050 miles on it now but what i did is cut out all the rust and then used carbon fiber and polyester resin to re build and shap the 1/4 and rockers and front bumber so the whole car is seamless now.

 

sorry about the spelling

 

How long ago did you do the body work? how has it held up?

Thanks,
VINCE

werd.... thats what i thought.. unless its just a part of the quarter.. like where the window is and stuff... but the rear quarter (i thought) ran up to the roof piece and is part of the floor sill.

I had little rust spots on my CRX, and my body shop took and just reworked some new matal in. I took him front fenders to see if that would help, and the body guy said that the contour is different and the lip is different thicknesses, so he said it would be more work to fix that than it would be to just shape some metal.. so he did that.

i would talk to a body shop about it and see what they say and what the costs might be.. the labor cost to make new metal, might be cheaper than buying another quater and the labor to put that in..... my $.02

 

I have a red 90 crx Si rust free passenger side rear quarter if anybdy is interested make a offer.

 

pic?

 

If anybody wants pics give me your email and I will try and send, I am kinda computer dumb so I dont know how to post.

 

yeah it has held up i am not going to drive the car in the snow just because of all the other work i did to the car i don't want to have the chance of getting hit. but the carbon is good stuff and you can get it cheep someplaces if you really look
