So some people know iv been body problems.. Rust.. And I'm not a body guy but I tried let me know what you think

Here's what I started with the guy who had the car before me tried to fix it but didn't turn out too good











Passenger side








And some welding in of sheet metal.. The welds look like shit cause the welder is garbage

I started to fill everything in but some stuff I can't do.. engines and just about anything mechanical, upholstering, electronic anything but body work
Here's how the car sits outside right now





Shaved side moldings





And rear emblem



This is how it sits right now let me know what you think any tips comments ideas let me know
As of right now I'm just wanting to find someone who can do the final prep work before paint basically fix all the imperfections then paint

this is off topic, but can you give me more details about your antenna? I have problems with mine.. stays up, and too tall.

btw way better without side moldings, and shaved = clean :thumbs up

Absolutely there's no other way the guy before me tried covering it up and we all saw what good that did...... None if you didn't see

And sence the only patch panel for our beautiful dc integras costs 400 something I decided to go the cheaper route and use sheet metal I had laying around the shop defiantly worth it if you ask me

Thanks everyone clean is defiantly my style too many kids running around in their hondas that they got from their parents and putting stupid sh stuff off it any way I like my cars clean and simple the exterior of my car is almost finished I just gotta get a few more things.. Lip rims tint and paint and the outside is done then comes the interior and I have big plans for that stuff no one has thought of (that I know of) I'll just say its BMW inspired I miss my baby so I wanna bring back the feeling in my favorite car the dc integra

What questions did you have about the antenna.. Like what details I'll try to help as much as I can but i will say it was like that when I got it

Is there any brand on it or anything? Do you hear a motor whirring in the back when you switch from cd to radio? good radio reception? I think thats it.. good luck with the body work btw

Well as of for me i dont use the radio so if you dont use radio either you can just cut the wires for the antenna and you wont hear that annoying noise Lol

I'm pretty sure it's a Shark Attack 2 Antenna, here's a link, a ton of people here use it: http://www.locustom.com/shark2_kit.htm

What I did was just remove the antenna as a whole, and plug it up with the OEM 25mm Grommet since I have an AUX input on my headunit and always have my iPod with me :p.

It's Part # 82871-671-000 for the OEM grommet in case you wanna go with that. If you still really want an antenna, there's quite a few "under the dash" antennas you can get for around the same price as the Shark Attack 2. Here's a pic of my teggy with the grommet:


Sorry it's not the best picture, if you want me to get some better ones let me know!

And sorry for thread jacking, OP. Your body work looks good, way better than what I did. I effectively made something that didn't look so bad into something that looks terrible :/ I should have just left it alone.
