your projects turn out nice...good work, I like the teg

do you like buy em...fix em up and sell em?

 

i usually dont plan on it it just turns out that way eccept in this case i bought it for the purpose of fixing it and selling it
i meen its a 91 SI for 125.00 i couldnt pass that up

 

wow good luck.. Give a few pics now and then to see what you are doing next...

 

DAMN that's your integra? Nice car.. Now we can only expect one beatiful peice of machinery from you again..

 

Can't wait to see the before and after pics on this one. Keep us posted.

 

looks great for the price.. let me know if you need sidemarkers to compliment the front end you plan on getting.

 

Those wheels are phat

 

how about JDM front end and then paint it white again

 

I always like to keep cars basically the same color as stock, but its entirely up to you. I always thought my red hatch would look good in white, but didn't want to change the color. Other than that, good find. Hope everything goes well with the project .

 

thanks bryant ill definatly give you a ring-a-ding-ding
as for the front end i dont know if im getting it yet i have a budget to work with
and for the color i pritty much have my mind set on what im going for

 

Keep it white.I like white HB's.

 

Try dry ice on dents how ever you will end up with creases and thats it

 

nice to see a white 4th gen getting some love...

 

sorry its definatly not staying white i hate white.
and has anyone ever used this dry ice method to pull dents?

 

doh

 

I had a similar dent on the pass. side 1/4 panel on my 91....I just removed the interior panel and pounded it out pretty damn close with a mallot and a 2x4 to prevent mallot dents...then Bondo'ed it up perfection. It looked damn perfect, and is alot easier than cutting and rewelding....give it a try.

 

update:
fixed all the dents and cut out the rear quarter for surgury cleaned out inside sound material







still trying to decide what color to paint help me out
im stuck on
FERRARI RED
HONDA ELEMENT GREEN
HONDA ACCORD DARK BLUE
and there is no chance on it being white unless someone wants to buy it right now and wants it white

 

honda accord dark blue with those wheels but keeping it white would be easy, door jams done.

 

you know your doing bodywork the wrong way right
hope it dont kick yourself in the *** because you should redue it properly so it will last longer and you wont see it after you paint it

good luck you gonna need it with that stype of filler work

 

nice project bro, go0d luck wit it...

 

how am i doing my body work wrong ive had professionals look at it and tell me it looks fine?

 

how am i doing it wrong ive had people who have been painting cars forever look at my work and none of them have said anything my filler never bleeds through and im not even close to being done

**** i hate when people say things like that it makes me all paranoid

hey man iam not hating you aight
chill for a second
iam saying that you shouldnt fill over old paint
it should be taken down to metal and then filled in the area where there is a dent

 

If you're fixing it to sell it, you're nuts for not painting it the original color again.

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem buying a car that's had correct body work done, but a car that's been repainted--no thank you. A different color takes value away from the car, unless you do it to a 49 Mercury with some kinda fancy metal-flake gel coat or something.
