ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Not quite the same type of damage, but this thread will give you an idea. The center support above the radiator and the center support in front of the radiator simply unbolt. The bulkhead pieces (on either side of the radiator where the headlights mount) are still available from Honda. They have to be cut out and welded in.

          That in reverse. Cut the damaged parts off the body. Weld new pieces in. I got the individual peices I needed from Honda. The radiator support in the link Jarrett provided looks like a single piece stamping (maybe it is assembled from individual parts?). Depends on the extent of your damage.

          Look on the bright side, you could be doing quarter panels: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=180806

            I need to do them but I am not sure what to use. Can I use the body repair panels for the sedan for the wagon? Or is there a specific one?

              By "them", you mean the quarter panels? How bad is the rust? I believe the profile of the wagon quarter panel around the wheel well is identical to the sedan. If you want/need to do the entire quarter similar to Ruby, you'ld have to get lucky and find a rust free wagon to cut them from. I suspect the outer half of the wheel housing is very similar to the sedan as well, at least around the wheel opening.

              You can check on www.hondaautomotiveparts.com to see if wagon quarter skins are still available from Honda, if so, they will be very expensive.
