Yeah its just that and a right control arm.
Any guess on the cost?
I was thinkin on gettin the door and fender from jy as well as control arm.

Depends on what kind of CA you want. O'reillys has them for like $50, Honda has them for $150+.

Door and fender whouldnt run you more than $50 for both, from a JY.

You will also want to check for door sill damage once you get the side skirt and door off.
And check where the door bolts to as well.
Make sure there is no major damage / warping in those two areas.

Otherwise it looks fine - Just replace the door, fender and control arm

Be sure to paint any areas with cracked paint, or you're going to have rust issues.

Primer. Paint doesn't seal.

I'd say that your hinge pillar is pushed in towards the bottom judging by the gap at the top of the door. You may have to have a shop chain the car down to the floor and use a hydraulic ram to pull the damage out. The problem you'll have is that just bolting a new door on, the bottom will be in, the top will stick out, and it may not even open or close properly at all. Worst case scenario, you may have to section the bottom of the hinge pillar. I've fixed cars with this type of damage many times at work. Once the hinge pillar is back to spec, you can continue with a used door and fender.

Unfortunately, an accident like this if fixed properly through a collision shop and insurance company, will probably total out your car since most cb's are "worth" 2-3 grand.

I highly doubt that the hinge pillar didn't recieve any damage from this, but if by some miracle the door absorbed it all...you could call it good with a door and fender.

...but not all primer is waterpoof.

p.s. can you even open the door???

If this came into the body shop where I work, first thing I'd do is pull the fender off. Then see if the door opens or not. If it opens, tap the pin up out of the check strap to release that from the pillar. Then, unplug the door boot. Shut the door and remove the 12mm bolts going through the hinge into the door. Get some help as these doors are very heavy, have someone hold the front while you hold the back by the door handle. Lift the handle and pull the door away from the car. Post pics of the exposed hinge pillar.

only two part primer is. spray bomb primers are only good if top coated as recommended by the manufacturer.
