ok so decided to patch up rusty/bubly QP's .. turns out the kid fiberglassed it b4 so i had to strip it/cut it to sheet metal which is like 6-10 inches out from the wheelwell... not fun at all. Part of the frame & wheelwell broke off on the driver's side making things extremely difficult.. The passenger side is not as bad since the FB can have something to hold to. Will bring the car to my shop next week and prolly do a DIY on this if anyone is interested. ATM i used bondo its all i had around the house (filler) which i highly dont recommend for any job. its just so i can move it without getting 2 much heat from cops i dont have insurance on it ^_^

 

hollyyy fkkk buddy, is the car really worth all the repairs?

 

very big job you got their but looks like a cool project

 

Yeah I'm all for a DIY on this I love reading project logs on integras.

 

Can you see through to the other side?

Don't you just hate it when the previous owner does a hack job of a repair? Many little things are that way on my car, it bothers me. The more I do work myself the more stupid little things I find. Monkeys could do better work for some of the things I've found. Thankfully, nothing big has come up. It's sound otherwise.

Good luck on your project, it's always good to see someone reviving an integra rather than dumping it.

 

Yeah that's pretty bad, but there are some things you should just leave to the pro's to do, and doing that ---- is one of those things I rather not do, even tho I can do it, just way easyer letting a shop do it.

 

you should have just bought a quarter panel repair piece off ebay or somewhere. i bought one for my civic before and it was great. completely fitted and just bare sheet metal. only thing tho is you have to weld it. but it would be a lot easier and better in the long run.
i hope your putting metal there right??

 

yeah metal is going in all FB is going out. and yeah i work at a bodyshop but we mainly do dealer cars & collision work not rust especially like this .. im sending it to a good friend to fabricate a metal peiece for both sides and then prep it after myself or my coworker. Im also making them QP's fat i hope it looks aiite on a teg lol with 15's should turn out alright..

 

ok bodywork started. finished putting metal in. diidnt bring my camera to work but got 2 pics of my shitty phone. will take pics of finished product tomorrow.

BEFORE



AFTER


This side was not finished yet.. only the inner wheelwell

 

heres some pics of the car finished with the metal part of the job... Also how do you like the drop in the front? the rears i haven't had time i need new LCA's to drop it. . .

 

lookin good bud.
just need to smooth it out and repaint.

 

ey man i have the same problem i dont want to do it on my own u think u can do it? labour how much u askn for or atleast rent the tools to do it

 

Not looking to bad.

 

Good stuff, how are you finding working with the filler in this weather? I'm planning to go a bit of filling on one of the cars before the winter hits.

Looks like a solid project so far.

 

So finally got a day where it wasn't too busy so i started prepping the teg. Two quarter panels, two doors, fender, trunk, bumper. Started off by grinding it down




Taking pics in the shop isn't the neatest thing


Filled with superglass


Cheesed, grinded / sanded with 40



Mixing lightweight filler




Filled / sanded


Some evercoat rage / filler at this stage i think


Another area being assesed. (TYK previous owner fiberglassed it. ;()
Word of advice, if you're shaving side mold's
please do not fiberglass matt it. Simply sink it with a dolly and fill it with
glass filler.





Grinded, sinked holes and filled with superglass.


Fender slightly was damaged/bubbling so might as well take care of that now.


Another side sinked and filled as well.


Trunk holes were also fg matted, lol, so same procedure. Grinded, sinked,
filled.



Fender


Getting there, putty with some filler



Sanded the glass, put lightweight filler over, sanded.



Fixing some high spots.



chessed / grinded ( ran out of 40 grit ) / sanded


Lightweight filler, almost there


Hmm


Some of the tools ^_^


Some more minor highspots filled, then putty then 320 sanded ready for primer.


Blowing the car from dust --> My man eran


Quick masking job..


Blah..


b4..


primed..



Thats it for the day, will sand tomorow maybe one more time prime it, watersand and ready for paint! YESSSIR! hope you enjoyed. Feel Free
to ask questions.

 

Omg this is coming along sooo well I love it

 

Lookin very good! It's come a very long way. Solid work.

 

Would you be down to do some work on my car? Its not even that bad, but its just a pain to see.

Where in Toronto Are you located?

 

gg, yo guy teach me

 

Holy 1/4 panel rust batman! That seems like a decent DIY but seems like you got it under control, keep this thread active, I'd love to see the end result if possible, but otherwise goodjob

 

Looking good. Props for doing it yourself.

 

wow thats alotta rust....but good on ya tryin to fix it yourself

 

sanded primer, primed again...




Machined with 320.

Started water sanding.. with 600 over everything with the exeption of the uper quarter panel trim, and of the two fenders with 2000 since its only being blended. (clear coat only).





Turned out the kid partially painted the bumper with a spraycan before and didn't even clear it lol ... Going to repaint the whole bumper now..

Sanded...




Washed, thinned inner trims of oversprayed primer, will mask the car tomorrow and shoot it friday or early saturday.




This was a fun project, but, shows how a small job can go far. If you don't know much about bodywork, you will, in the end pay someone else not to only finish the initial damage but cleaning the mess of your work

Will give you guys the paint tips and which paint / clear / gun im using when i spray it.

 

Wow man, good job, this thread keeps amazing me (Y)

 

yo guy! teach me.

 

lol here are some i took just today... car is dirty... will take better ones after i drop the back ;^^






will repaint bumper after winter

 

Holy crap what a nice job I would have never known it was rusted. You have skills man.

 

Amazing job. but on the right quarter pannel, it is not shaped properly

 

i know !! also i dont know if its visible in pics but on the sideskirt where it meets the QP its a little in. if i had more time i'd shape the qp in one piece rather then several ;((

 

whatever man. your talented.

 

hah wow man nice jobbb

 

woah nice work
