Remember guys i am planning on finishing my project by this weekend. so keep comming back to see more pics.
also wanted to add the pics above are the rough stages of the patch up. i have done NO bodywork to it other then just welding on the metal itself so if you are wondering why it looks ugly well now you know.

another thing i forgot to add was...
you might think that patching up the rust is a cheap way of doing it and that its better to replace the quaters. well your right. BUT this model honda accord (94-97) does not have aftermarket quater panels made. the only place to get them would be from honda which costs 900.00 PER SIDE. which is DEFINATELY not worth it because only 10 percent of it has rust. and both the metal patch and the quater panel replacement piece work the same way its all in the prep work.

yeah 3 days, came out the shop the thursday before DKN. Then again there was a few things that werent 100% perfect cause of the short deadline but that was my fault:P.
Jay's got a task and a half on his hands, especially having to do customer cars first before he can work on his:P.
im sure he will have it primered today.
