Body Repair

[SOHC]

I got a Accord with some BAD body rust spots, mostly on the rear fender well on both sides, any Idea on how to fix this ?

[MessyHonda]

you will need to replace the rear fenders...or if you can do it your self...cut the rust out and make new panels and weld them into place...then use fiber glass and a rust proof undercoat so it wont happen again

[SOHC]

I have not been able to locate any rear panels on the Internet. I had found 3 Identicle cars, same color aswell. But they got Crushed in the Wrecking yard.

i don't think you can buy just rear panels.....at least....mine doesn't have any seams on it....i believe it's a cut and replace thing

you can buy them from ebay and a couple other places but they dont bolt in u cut them out then weld the replacement penal on

Great, I have to cut out the rust and replace it with more sheetmetal perfect.
Plus my lift points on one side are crushed, anyway of repairing that?

[ghettogeddy]

just use your tow hook to lift the front and just use jack stands in the side

How do your underside and wheel-wells look? Thats prety important...

[SOHC]

I dont know actually, I havent really looked, the fronts fine its just the rear that I'm concerned about

[Ayeobe]

I hate rust. If you look at my car from the front, it looks bran freakin' new.. but under the fenders, is a whole diffrent, scary story...

Good luck, man.

[SOHC]

Thanks Ayeobe, I'm gonna need it.

[MessyHonda]

yeah that looks serious

[SOHC]

I looked in the well and it looks fine, its just the outer sheet metal. I have found replacement panels for that Area, for like $50 a side.

ok question kinda un related to this but i need to knoe how to totally dissasemble the exterior rear view mirrors like take off the mirror and take the two housing halves apart any help would be great thanx

[Tomisimo]

Fock man.. thats lots of rust. it might be cheaper to get new one than repear this much rust. you need some good metal to weld to, I dont see any.

[SOHC]

the car has sentimental Value, so I really want to try and save it.

[Tomisimo]

ok, in this case, get another good accord, strip yours for all interior and wiring, than cut good accord in peaces like, whole wheel arch with shock mount, on both sides all the way to the trunk quarter panel. and reweld it on your car. one side first, than cut the other side and repeat welding.
So that your car dont collapse on it self. than the trunk, I bet you have a hole there too.
Do you have any welding skills?

That site doesn't have the part i need,It's the part that the front of the bumper bolts to in the wheelwell.

No Welding skills at all, Theres no hole in my trunk at all, the only rust throughs are on my rear quarters and my rocker panels.

Starting Body Work on my 3gee. Started sanding today. will keep everyone Informed.

[2ndGenGuy]

I would start by cutting first. But that's just me... :tongue:

[SOHC]

Right now I'm just getting rid of the surface rust, i'll concintrate on the rust holes when I got the replacement panels. lol
