Re: My hatch is wrecked!
What do you mean by wrecked, were you hit or did u do the hitting?
Sorry to hear I really liked your car.
I smashed into a truck with three mexicanos with no insurance. I will fix the front left. The hood, fender, left headlight, left turnsignal are gone. I will need a whole new headlight fixture bucket thing. The front bumper is fine, the front support is fine. the radiator is fine. I tried to vere to the right and hit my front left.
So it's not completely wrecked. That's some good news, I figured it was gone...
the good thing about there being so many of these cars in the junkyards is that there are lots of body parts for the front,be glad no one hit you in the back end. the front bumper and hood etc can be interchanged with the sedan.I smashed into a truck with three mexicanos with no insurance.

I will need to cut out a section and reweld (the headlight housing part that goes to the fender and hold the radiator in. I warmed my car up and the radiator has a small crack in the top very right. I will have that plastic welded. It is a 2 year old radiator. Almost new.
If you cant fix your radiator I have a 1 week old one that ill sell you. Anyways good luck!

noooooo. not the red hatchie. i dont like watching them die.
-Travis-
Ummm...i really don't need the manifold. I'm more into getting my damn car on the road again. My spare engine can wait now. I might go buy a new car this week and finance it. I haven't decided yet....
I'm so sad and bewildered.
if you junk the hatch, wanna sell your door panels?
(you have black interior right?)
Sorry bout your luck man..... Just LMK if u want the radiator.

it shouldn't take much to fix that,why not get a front clip from a junkyard,the entire front clip,then anything you have to cut out you will have. it doesn't have to be from a hatch,the front is the same as all the others.
dude that sucks to hear... glad that its not that bad though. good luck getting her back on the road

Well, I got all the mangled stuff cut off and all I need to do is get a left front clip from the radiator to the strut tower and weld it on. Quite an experience I will tell you.
How much will that chunk of metal cost from the salvage yard? And will they cut it off for me?
that sucks man...sorry to hear about it.
c'mon dood...lets see some pics!

I would call around,it shouldn't be much,they usually just crush that part of the car anyay. they will probably cut it for you ,thats a common part to get for collision repair. if you pull all the stuff like the headlight bucket first and all they have to do is cut metal it should be really cheap.
I drove my car down the neighborhood and it seems to drive straight. It's hard to tell if the wheels look straight together. Reason it's hard is that part of the fender is all gone and you can see the whole wheel. I need to just get the hood and fender and go hit the freeway and see if it drives straight. If it doesn't I'll take it for an alignment and if they can't get it to correct, I'll say fuck it. If that is the case I will part my whole car out, including my spare rebuilt engine. The spare engine looks mint btw. I'm buying a newer accord next week. I'm going to finance, so I hope my 89 is going to be ok, so i can have just a project car.
