    frame cutting...

    I will be reparing my rust soon, i have some knowledge and most of the tools. My original plan was to have a shop weld a new panel but I am not having any luck find a panel for coupes so i will use pullie and hammer on/ hammer off dollie to straighten the panel as best as i can, then ill use filler. Only problem is this bar/frame where what looks like the ABS ecu is mounted...




    Can i cut some of the bar off? I will of course weld it back but will cutting it compromise the strengths of the frame.

    this is the front side...has high and low spots

    1) That's not the "frame"
    2) Do not cut that..



    A professional would weld a stud and pull that out with a slide hammer.

    You can use a hammer and dolly and get most of that out since you can access the rear portion

    The rest if you do not have the correct tools use a pry bar like device and push it out....


    Honestly if cutting that out was your initial plan of attack id recommend bringing it to a professional... There is no need to replace the panel.. The damage isn't that bad.

      This is my only reason for wanting to cut that metal bar from inside



      the bottom edge of the panel is dented in a little, not sure if the slide hammer would fix that. i really want to take it to a shop but only honda shops are half hour + away and i work 11 hrs a day and only have sundays off....but ill take your word for it. Thanks

          sorry, it was a typo, i meant honda enthusiast shop... the rest of the locals all i hear is bad news, its either you pay upfront and might get ripped off or pay when job is done but ill end up waiting forever to get done.

            You can get a patch panel for a sedan. The area that you want to replace is the same on a sedan.

                  Yeah, and they'll send you the part for a Chevy Suburban... Andys SUCKS!

                  TASauto has patch panels, last I checked. They'll send you the proper part.

                      Trust me i know...i had a problem with getting some euro corners, they kept sending me the wrong corners and when they finally sent the right ones... they were black housed!

                      Ive heard from alot of people to try keystone but i called them few days ago and they said they have nothing for a car this old yet my boy recently got 92 civic panels.

                      this is the only coupe panel ive found and its not from a reputable dealer

                        You're not replacing in front of the wheel arch, so you can use a sedan panel with no problems.
