Update: fk the rice
 

Okay... it's my noob ass again. I am now not putting a single body kit peice or jdm anything etc... like i talked about before, thanks for that guys. What I am doing is the minor work the car needs to restore it's exterior to factory goodness, ie fix rust and dents. So... how easy is body work to learn from repairs to painting or does anyone know a good guy around seattle to do the work?

What I have managed to do so far on my crx 90 Si:

replaced dizzy with a new one
swapped on carbon fiber hood
fixed sunroof
swappe din oem 91 seats
replaced a bunch of interior trim pieces
swapped in crx logo door panels

goals for this year:

fix & repaint body
upgrade the suspension (stock right now

No pics cause nothing exterior has changed since my last post, so stfu and sit in the corner, or don't mention them.

PS I will post some tomorrow night :P

If you have stock 90-91 CRX fenders or front bumper on the other hand we can talk.

I fixed a lot on my rusted Civic hatch, The rust, the entire suspension, spent some dough.
Body work is kinda like an art, the more you do it, the better you get.
You can search online and learn a lot. There are many brands but they basically the principles stay the same.
I like this thread http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1531842
BTW my car had so much rust that I had to patch the panels with some sheet metal using a POP rivet gun. It dosent look perfect but the water dosent get inside the cabin.
Ill have to replace the quarter panels and the door sills to make it look 100%, but since its daily driven Im not sure if I wanna do all that work to paint it and get all paranoid if the paint gets marred.

yea dude your project thread is a good one. :y

Pop rivets? Man, those things will rattle loose in a few months...bet money on it. Any bondo that was overtop will crack right out. Any metal work should be fully prepped and fully welded, and then filler over top.
