Now, I got a replacement rocket panel and wheel arch.
I was wondering what's the best method of replacing those?
Replace the panel as a whole or cut it into pieces?
I think it will do a better job to replace the entire rocker panel.
Also, I was wondering what kind of joint should I...
Here's a picture of what the rocker panel looks like after I enlarged some holes where the rust had gone through.
Now, I discovered new holes after I removed all the stuff that was stuck to the fender well. I put all this grime in a bucket and it must weigh like 25 pounds!!! I'll take a...
Here's the windshield corner after I removed all the rotten metal. There is surface rust that needed to be sandblasted.
Here's the corner after a sandblast session and some POR-15 Metal Ready applied to it. (that's what makes the brown color)

Today, I removed the dashboard and decided to check the source of the right...

Well, I have an 89 Civic that I've owned for the past 6 years. It's been retired last year because of a slight accident. The insurance company said that the car was a too rusty to be put back on the road. It turno out they were right.
I kept the car and want to turn it into an amateur rallye...
Hehe yeah this is a 115V welder. This is common household voltage in North America. I chose this type of welder because it can be plugged almost anywhere. We do have 220V current but it's used by home appliances and isn't as portable. I will mostly be welding car related stuff anyway and...
Hi everyone. I'm from canada and I just wanted to tell you that I found the website to be VERY informative. I had no knowledge about welding whatsoever.
I bought a MIG PAK 10 from the Lincoln Electric Company http://www.mylincolnelectric.com/Catalog/equipmentdatasheet.asp?p=9734
