Right now Im still looking for a engine, trying to find one local instead of shipping one.

I ordered up new rocker panels, I didnt know they made them. so I was all happy about that, saves us a ton of work. :D

Installed my 4300k hids that I had in my old civic.

I should have a lot of the body work completed with in the next week or so.

Paint and engine will be last, I still havent decided on a color :?

Come to find out the owner before me, pretty much slapped fiberglass over top of the rust so the quarters dont even line up with the bumper. This is why I want to replace it so its done somewhat right.

anyways pics will show the mess I have to fix hahaa

Really this is a great opportunity to learn body work and not worry too much about messing anything up!

- Thu Aug 28, 2008 7:29 pm #67609 I believe I had just the "arches"
I'm guessing the entire quarter panel goes up higher and further toward the door :? I've never seen a brand new whole quarter panel before for an EG.

- Thu Aug 28, 2008 8:09 pm #67613 ah ok true, I figured a full quarter would go right up to the window and to the door jam.

Yea I know Tim but really, the floor isnt rusted its just the rockers, im not to worried im sure it will be fine when im done.

still haven't decided on a color :?

- Fri Aug 29, 2008 2:49 pm #67687 nice hatch though it may be rusty at least your fixing her up instead of junking it like the idiots here would even perfect body eg hatches coupes are being tossed into my local yard......

]well goodluck with it and i remember a buddy of mine sent me some info on a guy who ice races his hatchback and he is sponsered by a shop that gets jdm stuff and its in canada though unsure what part right now so that may be a good bet to find a engine locally....ill see if i cant find that stuff
