o ya..... not saying its not fixable tho
can always go to a junk yard and cut off the front section on that side and patch it on.
think of it this way it maybe worthless so that can be your car you can mod like crazy and not worry about the resale value. LOL

i had some plans for my civic like suicide doors since if it didnt turn out very good on my first job it wouldnt be that big of a deal.

only sections of the vehicle that i dont mess with is the rear end and on the sides. but a front end ill think about repairing.

I think Championship or Taffeta White is pretty much going to look sick on any civic. And I used to be like you about the CF, but it grew on me and Id love to paint my Hatch White and put a CF hood on it! White Sol, CF hood, the wheels off your civic, and you have one clean ride. Are you doing all the body work or having it done by a pro? As cheap as body parts are on ebay, Id just go ahead and pick up what you can and throw it on before paint. Save some time and hard work.

Well my dad has been doing body work and paint his whole life lol he is amazing at it.... i have helped a bunch thru the years and i could probably handle these dents as there pretty simple except that driver side door =/ really wavy....

my dad just always has 3 projects lined up at a time so its hard to get in the garage and what not

well with the door you can always look for a new door skin. or check junk yards for another door. large wavy panels suck to straighten out!!!! dont get me wrong it can be done but still takes alot of hammering and filling/sanding.

my dad taught me and my brother at a young age body work and paint which i can do a good job i just HATE all that sanding to get to painting.LOL thats the main reason why body men get paid so much is because its tedious work sanding over and over.
