I knew the day would come..

[Hazwan]

my 1g was hit by a fucking bike while I'm turning right (RHD, which means I'm crossing the road) into intersection. the traffic coming from that lane stopped since its teh yellow line and the light is red ahead. I couldn't see the fucking bike coming, probably more than 60kmh and hit straight into my quarter panel.

I dont feel like typing much right now... more tomorrow.

:sad2::sad2:

[russiankid]

Man that really sucks, what are you going to do?

[carotman]

Ouch! I even bent the control arm!!

[2oodoor]

Dam, they smacked the crap outta that quarter. Sorry to hear about that.

[thegreatdane]

What a shame! What about the guy on the bike, was he ok?

[mkymonkey]

WOW DUDE that sucks total nut sacks. your car is one of my favs! and not only because of the color...this sucks. though its now a perfect opportunity to repaint the whole thing :D hope you get that shit fixed maing

[2ndGenGuy]

Agreed, your car is indeed one of the best. Sorry to hear about the wreck, your car seems to get some bad luck once in a while. But you've recovered it once before! You're gonna fix it again? Please say so! Man so sad about your car!

[Cheeseburger]

awwwwwwwwwwwww dam! that blows big time!!!!! are you going to fix it?

[Civic Accord Honda]

oh no! not your car :( i hope u get her fixxed

[SZfiftyfour]

Dude that bites. when i seen the first pic i was like "oh shit look at the back wheel!". then i seen the pic of the control arm, "daaayum!". What hit you, a friggen harley classic? I feel your pain though, I know your pissed right now but dont get rid of it. You would regret it forever.

[forrest89sei]

NOOOOO!


That sucks!

Good luck on the repairs!!!!

[A18A]

noooooo!!!! :( not the best 1gee ever!!

[BITESIZE]

I feel your pain.

[SZfiftyfour]

It seems like its always the best 1,2 &3 geez cars getting banged up.

[EricW]

Bummer, I hope your going to get it fixed. I like that color on your car.

[Hazwan]

its getting fixed, of course! altrough fixing out the quarter won't be easy. finding new replacement panel would be too expensive. don't worry there won't be much bondo there if I can.

and yeah the other guy is okay. minor bruise on his right arm, thats all.

anyway, I took out the control arm today..

everything else seems to be fine, no damage to the frame as I can see. The bad thing is its public holiday today, don't know if my fav junkyard opens today or not..

[cubert]

damn man...that really sucks...but im glad to hear everyone is okay...


like other folks are saying..just use it as an excuse to bring it back as an even better example of a clean ass accord :thumbup:

[MessyHonda]

man that sucks..looks like it hit hard. hope its up and running soon.

[knarg]

sorry to see your beautiful car get hit!! :(

good luck with the repair, doesn't look too bad at least

[Hazwan]

yeah it doesn't look that bad, at least there are no frame damage or broken glass althrough I'm pissed that my left rear light broke :(

getting the quarter panel to be flat is going to be tough.

anyway, I bought the control arm (thank God they opens today) for $20. what a rip off lol. I cleaned the surface rusts and repainted it black.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/ullyeus/accord/DSC01319.jpg

almost done sanding the panel. theres a rust spot that need to be taken care of. I have no idea how i missed that in the last paintjob!? I'm pretty sure the impact somehow broke the old rusted weld.

[Cheeseburger]

wow that was quick! glad your working on it :D

[AccordB20A]

your trying to beat my 6 hour fix arent you? Sad to hear about your car bro.............. :(

[Civic Accord Honda]

[snoopyloopy]

wow that was quick! glad your working on it :D

holy hell, that's almost faster than wohdog! oh wait, he already said that...

anyway, looking good again. good thing it wasn't majorly damaged.

[Hazwan]

Its fast when you have nothing else to do lol. anyway, got some filling work done today..

First layer:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/ullyeus/accord/DSC01336.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/ullyeus/accord/DSC01331.jpg

Still a lot more to go. Don't worry, I'm using the filler as little as possible :)

[HYDE]

Damn, it's always painful to know a beautiful car getting banged like that.
Haha i see you fixing it as soon as possible, I know how you're feeling bro.:cheers:
I did the same thing back when my car get banged, because i just can't stand seeing my beloved car in such state.:)

[Civic Accord Honda]

yay!!

and are u repainting the whole car? if so u changeing the color?

[2ndGenGuy]

Nice! Looks like he damaged your rear bumper overrider on that side too. Are you going to even be able to find one??

[AccordB20A]

coming along nicely mateee

[2oodoor]

coming along nicely, it is good to see you jumped right in :wave:

[Hazwan]

Nice! Looks like he damaged your rear bumper overrider on that side too. Are you going to even be able to find one??

Its scratched a bit, I'll reuse that again along with my glued broken tail light. I'll get them replaced when the budget permits.

More filling today. Man I hate that middle line and the curves. Its a PITA to get it right. I'd be more than happy if I can get the panel 90% smooth.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/ullyeus/accord/DSC01351.jpg

What a mess!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/ullyeus/accord/DSC01349.jpg

[Civic Accord Honda]

i see progress :D keep the good work up and she will be back on the road in no time :)

[Cheeseburger]

looks great.

[2ndGenGuy]

:thumbup:

[GraniteLXI]

Ouch, cant believe a bike nailed you that bad :( I'm glad to see your making progress in repairing it, you do truly have 1 beautiful 1G.

[Futu]

hey Haz isnt this the second time your car gets in a wreck? ;p

[Hazwan]

hey Haz isnt this the second time your car gets in a wreck? ;p

Yeah except none is my fault.

[Hazwan]

Got the panel primered today. It took me the whole week to get the panel straight and I'm quite happy with how the line and curves turn out.

I'm going to block the panel and should be ready for paint tomorrow.

Can't even tell!

[forrest89sei]

Repairs looking Great so far :D

[MIK3]

Now that's why I call dedication. Job well done man. Blood, sweat and tears...we all, as a community, should now how that goes.

[Pico]

:thumbup:

[MessyHonda]

looks like it never happen

[AccordB20A]

yup. good job!

[2ndGenGuy]

Looking good! The Hazmobile 2.0 will be back as good as new in no time!

[2oodoor]

looks good, you know that is an old school skill to do a panel that large with bondo and dinging it out. These days they would sooner cut out the damage and mig in a patch especially on that contour body line area.
Blood Sweat and Tears is a good way to describe that kind of mud blocking, and bondo boogers. LOL.. nice work HAZ

[thegreatdane]

Nice work! Are you going to paint that quarter yourself?


and bondo boogers. LOL.. nice work HAZ

lol I hate that. And it doesnt make it any better that bondo is cancer-causing :thumbdn:

[Hazwan]

Yeah painting it today. I hope everything goes well.

I wish I could replace the panel myself. Finding someone who can do it for cheap/good is next to impossible. But trust me, the bondo is thin enough. Its nowhere near as thick as the previous shop did as you can see in my last build thread!

[AccordB20A]

cant wait to see it painted. should like like nothing ever happened.

[Hazwan]

Waiting for the clear...

Very Nice work!

[Cheeseburger]

[Hazwan]

3 coats of base, 2 coats of clear. And..... its done already!

Wow!!!!
Looks great.

[knarg]

you do some amazing body work

it is beyond me how that is accomplished

[2ndGenGuy]

:thumbup: that guy who hit you will be surprised to see your car looking good so quickly! How does insurance work over there? If someone hits you, do they pay for your damage, or does everybody just call it an accident and forget about it?

[mkymonkey]

wow! did you paint the whole car yourself the first time?

[Civic Accord Honda]

wow cant even tell it was ever hit now !
you did a great job fixing the car again :)

[MessyHonda]

looks new...i wish i could work like that on my car.

[Hazwan]

:thumbup: that guy who hit you will be surprised to see your car looking good so quickly! How does insurance work over there? If someone hits you, do they pay for your damage, or does everybody just call it an accident and forget about it?

I guess they work just like how they supposed to be, but in this case, we just call it an accident and forget it. The other guy is actually at fault, since I have the right-of-way as the traffic coming from that lane stopped to give way to me since the light ahead is red(yellow line in the middle of an intersection, where you aren't supposed to stop in it when the traffic stops. I don't know what is it called in English lol) and he overtake the traffic from the left, instead of the right.

Its not worth the hassle to deal with police and insurance, so yeah, we just call it an accident and forget it :D

BTW, my dad did the painting since I can't trust myself using the spray gun, and don't want to mess thing up. Paint isn't cheap! The only thing that I paint myself is the wheels, the black part near the door pillar thinggy, and the front lip. I just can't get the setting right and always have heavy orange peel. Its alright with smaller stuffs though.

I did the bondo work all by myself, just like the last paintjob. Far from being perfect, but I'm quite pleased with the result.

[Hazwan]

Bumper and light is back on. I've cleaned the interior too. God its dirty! I'll wash the car tomorrow and wait few more days to buff out the paint and everything should be back to normal.

[AccordB20A]

that looks mint. Didnt take you long either. If you had of got a panelbeater to fix that it would have taken over a month.

[2oodoor]

very pleasing results, that is a good color to have for hiding bodywork.

how far up did you blend towards the front?

[87roach]

Man it looks great, awesome work. Hopefully it will stay that way for a good long while :D

[1ajs]

nice job hawzan :cheers:

[Hazwan]

All the way to the A-pillar

I think the paint looks slightly darker. Its not very noticeable, but it really bothers me.

What puzzled me is, the paint 100% matches the fuel lid, where I simply put a layer of clear on it. Either the clear is slightly darker, or the paint isn't fully cured yet? Anyone has any idea??

[Catalyst]

I would wait until you buff It out, and get everything smoothed back down, and it will probably look better. Did you use a different clear than last time?

[Hazwan]

All the same brand, except the primer, which I don't think thats the case. And yeah I'll wait few more days to buff out the paint.

[2ndGenGuy]

Maybe your paint is semi-transparent to some degree and the slightly darker primer is making a difference? Kinda like how when you paint a bright color, sometimes you lay down a coat of white under it to make the color really pop out. Since your color is kinda bright, that might be the case. Though, hell if we can tell. You might just be a picky bastard. ;)

[bullard123]

Wow! That looks awesome! Your dad should open up his own paint and body shop. Im glad everything turned out great for you. We need more mint older accords on the road!

[86ccord]

wow bro.. sorry to hear about your accident.. but wow that is some crazy work you did.. and quick too.. GOODJOB! lol it looks good.. cant even tell..!

Nobody will notice but you.. lol
Some pigments are photereactive and maybe it will lighen up once it cures good. You could try color sanding (1200 or Ult Fine grit wet) it, in about a week or two, down the whole side. Then clear coat the whole side.

If the blend area was nice and tapered, that should help. BUT. I have seem some silver and gunmetal shades get worse after that.

Thanks, he has his own body shop in the 60's actually :)


wow bro.. sorry to hear about your accident.. but wow that is some crazy work you did.. and quick too.. GOODJOB! lol it looks good.. cant even tell..!

Thanks. Not the perfect work, but at least better than what most average shop would do.

Actually the color seems to be lighter now, I don't know if my eyes is playing with me, but everyone I asked said the color is 100% matching now. Even my dad said its slightly darker yesterday. I guess yes, the color will be lighter as it cures.

[epic1400cs]

I am very sorry to know about the accident and very shocking to see your car having big dent like that.
Great you managed to fix it so nicely!

[H2289Acc]

Your car is beautiful, man! I'm really sorry to hear about that.

[Cheeseburger]

Glad to see you got that baby up and looking fresh like it was!! props to you and your dad!

[Hazwan]

Okay the whole panel is buffed out, and I still can tell the difference between the old paint and the new. Can anyone tell from this pics? Not the best camera, but that probably the closest I can get in real life.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/ullyeus/accord/DSC01385.jpg

I'm guessing the clear is what effecting the color since the fuel filler lid is only cleared on once, no color at all, and its perfectly matching the quarter.

I really hope the color will go lighter as the time goes, or else I might redo the whole side. Damn, I'm a picky bastard lol

I still need to replace the black bumper cover and the side trim.

[mkymonkey]

I cant tell the difference. the only thing that looks darker seems to be a reflection of bushes and shit

it does look awesome though! great job

[Toneloc5145]

I CAN tell, but honestly its not as bad as I've seen. Some cars come from the factory with paint that is slightly darker on the bumpers than on the metal panels. I wouldn't worry about it.

[knarg]

i dont see a difference... if any, very small!! good job! :D

[Cheeseburger]

i cant see any either? were both primers the same color too?

[MessyHonda]

in my opinion you did a better job than they did with my friends car when they took it to the body shop....they did no blend it in well...at least yours does not look bad.

[BITESIZE]

Looks super for a d.i.y. job!!
