Just thought I would post a few pics of where my 92 was a few weeks ago in the bodywork process. It's much closer now: all panels are fully welded in, gound down, and skim coated with filler. I have a few more hours of sanding and they are ready for 3 heavy coats of poly-primer. I had to make the lower front quarters as they had a few specs of rust (which of course means the backside of the panel is swiss cheese). I also had to make the rockers and part of the lower door jambs. Not too bad of a job, but somewhat time consuming. I could have done it the easy/cheap way... but being the owner of a shop that does high-quality resto's, I just can't do that type of work (even on a 20 yr. old Civic). Just thought you guys would like to see a few pics of metal/body work.

It will be nice to have one that requires no rust repair
