Episode #445 On today's episode I'm cutting off and replacing the quarter panel on a Honda CIvic. Tune in to see how it's done! Stay tuned for part 2 coming tomorrow!
Looks like you’ve done this many times. Nice job, I’ll have to get a spot welder leaves it cleaner looking ,currently mig welding everything myself but it’s more time consuming
Thanks for sharing your knowledge you made it look so easy!!! 🙏 what brand is your grinder? I love the shape here we have old fashioned round disks is time for an upgrade
Hey Kyle whats that grey/tan sealer paint you use for the back of the panels? Im in the middle of getting 2 quarters replaced on my challenger and wanted to have the shop spray them as an extra precaution , thanks man!
Great video. Why do you put those backer plates? And can i ask u why when i line up the panel and weld it to the rocker the weld itself closes the gap slightly between the door and the quarter panel. Thank you in advance.
Serious question. Is there a reason you didn’t prep it ready to weld before you removed the deck lid and tail lamp? You had all the gaps correct and ready to go.
Hi I have a 2012 civic lx sedan and my car was rear ended in the same spot as in the video. Will insurance total the car . Also if its repairable do body shop replace the rear quarter panel or try to fix it.
I have a 1988 acura integra coupe and im in need to replace the passenger side. What should i expect to pay for something like this in the central valley California area?
Hey Kyle, how are you doing? The reason im contacting you is within the coming months I plan on doing the 1m clone on my 135i and will do the purchasing of all body panels including the rear quarter panels. How much would it cost to the the rear panel and painting?
Curious… ballpark cost on this? My ‘12 civic si coupe has taken a beating of dents n rust… cant decide if best to bang out n rust proof or how much ballpark this job runs?
Is there another way or a different tool people could use in a home garage to do those pinch welds you did at the end with that press/weld tool? My brother and I will be doing this to a 6th gen civic sedan quarter panel.
Very good work, I was expecting a lot of filler and approximations but thats put together almost the same as how it started. I suppose most gaps don't line up perfect the first time though?
What are those instructions you have printed out at 4:00? Are those available for DIY-ers? Also, is that weld through primer you use at 5:42? And at 7:50, what is the stuff you put on and what’s the purpose?
He uses a "band file belt grinder" which is like a belt sander but just a little narrow belt that sticks out. There are also drill bits sold at harbor freight to drill these out. They might have been rivets instead of spot welds though I am not sure.
I would like to see the continued to see all your spray able seem sealers and caulking beats replicated honda quarter's well there not as easy as BMW 😂 gravelgauard on the rocker to that should be 125 hour sheet im hoping they wrote it correctly with all the adjacent panels that are damaged apon removal and installation of welding
@@jeffarmer4428 dont see the need to primer the inside of new panel since the new panel has factory primer already..I just use weld threw primer on the spots that i cleaned for spot or mig welds..But hey always willing to learn more!!
@@CarsNfish if u ever see cars driving around with the black replacement panels thatve been left unpainted for a year or two and they’re totally rusted through, you’ll see why
We just did this to a 2019 Honda Odyssey. Granted the sliding door had to be replaced and fitted as well, but the repair was roughly $8200 so for this older civic, no door damage. Probably closer to $3800-$4400 depending on the availability of that paint
I've got a 2009 corrola with rust on the roof near the windshiled, no doubt it's under the windshield where the roof meets it... I need both front and back glass removed and a new roof... its a real pain because I'm only at 70k Miles on it... they quoted me $3000 Cdn for the job... sheesh... but it's a lot of work... so understandable
On average, how much would a project like this cost? i have a passenger quarter panel that suffers from a nasty dent, so spot welding a whole new panel will be the only way to go.
@LetMeSeeThis99 I hope you’re just being facetious lmao but yes $3-4k. Depends what shop you go to. Labor rates are about $60-65 and up for body and paint. A quarter panel-bumper job like this pays a good shop 14-15 hrs, plus all the blending required on the rear door roof rail and gutters.
@@drummer_zay9493 what about just the fitting/cutting/welding without the rest of the body and paint work? We have a paint shop, but have never replaced a qtr panel before.
@@tanker242 for this specific car it probably pays 10-12 hours. Times that by $60 and your looking at about $720. I’d say closer to $850 tho after all is said and done, materials cost and otherwise
