Long story short I was hospitalized for a few days so no progress on the g for at least 3 days but yesterday we started working in it again, left quarter panel is straight just have to cut the part where the tail light mounts so I can weld the new one in place. As far as the right quarter panel goes everything is cutte out, chassis is pulled, the door almos closes normally etc... Here are some Picts.

Yes you are right but at the same time I'm only spending around 2000 including the parts and the car which is not that bad, that's the price of a beat up pos with no style or a honda.

As far as progress I completely dismantled the rear clip and now I'm working on having everything mocked up by Saturday or maybe even welded who knows.

Here are some Picts of yesterday's work.

Btw... Anyone needs a rear diff or brakes or any diff sensors?? I got stuff for sale including a back window.

Floors and everything else is ready to be mocked up/welded to the car... Today's goal is to clean the area in the car and start doing that.

As always I'll keep you guys posted.

After pulling and I saw that it didn't come out quite right I cut out this section and started replacing it.

If you look close you'll see that the quarter panel sits on top. I was taking measurements and fine cutting to make it all fit properly.

And that was pretty much all for today.. Believe it or not it took me the whole day from 10 am to 8 pm to get to this point and yes everything is being held by screws because it's not properly aligned. Next step is to have everything align properly including tail lights and everything and once I'm sure it all fits properly I'll move on to welding the whole thing. If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask them and if you have any suggestions don't keep them to urself!!

And as usuall... I'll keep you guys posted. 😁

This thread deserves more attention than it is receiving... Nice work. What wheels are going to fit up that wide body?

Agreed. Who doesn't love a slow drive-by gawking at blood and guts? But you don't usually get the chance to watch the surgeon stitch them back together again. In for updates.
