Okay so ive had this car for a few weeks now but i had just got a new job so i now have some have the time and money put into the car so now i have to do some body work well alot of body work it had a really bad body kit and they tweaked the panels to fit the kit but when i got it i put on oem front and rear bumpers but now because of the work they did i cant get anything to fit right and the fenders and side skirts and rear body are all one piece anyone have any suggestion on how to fix it oh and how do you fix the chrome pieces under the windows they were black?also ive never done body work so im new to this any help would be awsome. here are some pics








in this one the crack is where the paint cracked and i think bodyfiller its to thick to just be paint

 

anyone have any advice at all??

 

Moving this to a forum that should be of more help

I am curious to know if this CRX had been in a previous accident and if that is the reason why the body kit was done in the first place by the previous owner as sometimes OEM parts are hard to get and some will choose a body kit instead.

i have a friend that does body kits and he tweaks the kit by doing fiber glass work etc and usually not the body of the car itself.

I know a JDM front end on a CRX does require some modification but nothing extensive.

I hope someone can help you in here, Sabatoge maybe.

thanks and i dont believe it has been in any accident just a body kit i think not sure tho

 

Rip it off and start over, if u want it truely right, that and grab a grinder and grind out all that filler/glass whatever is holding it together, that is if u want to go back oem, for all u/ i know the fenders could be a/m as well, and several combinations of why it will not fit together.

 

thats what i was thinking just strip it down to bare metal but i have no experience with body work im gonna go get a nice hand sander and lots of sand paper anything else i might need?

 

oh and i wanna go to oem or maybe do a sir converstion minus right hand drive

 

I would get an Electric grinder, unless u have a good air compressor, and some flap discs 24/36 maybe, but at least 80 grit, and take it all off, but be careful lol u never know what you might find.

 

what does 24/36 mean sorry i dont know much about body work you think it may be to much for someone who doesnt know what he is doing also this is my dd so i can only work on it on like weekends

 

it depends really, i mean anyone can grab a grinder and go at it, but it looks as if someone already has. I'm refering to the "grits" of the sandpaper/grinder discs 24 grit, 36 grit, 80grit,

And i suppose you can always drive without fenders/rockers, or what not. But it looks to me as if u need to strip it down and see what ur really looking at, take the font end off, fenders/ rockers. I woudl start there and see what it looks like, dotn strip the whole thing to bare metal. go panel by panel, grind it all off, re do the body filler if needed, sand , prime, featheredge, etc.

It also looks like the front fenders are fiber glass which woudl explain why the deadlights dont fit. it was prolly a mold of a mold, and purchased off of e bay.
