This is in the wrong forum, it should have been posted here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/
The ALL MOTOR Forum is supposed to be a TECHNICAL forum, which this thread clearly is not.

Damn good to see someone willing to go to the proper length to repair rusted panels. Damn good for a first timer. You should do something about the rust on the underside of the car as well.

Re: emma under construction(my hatch build)
Can you post some pictures of your cable/hydro conversion on the tranny? I have to do the same thing and I've been curious about what kind of pieces are involved. Thanks.

Looks great. I'm impressed at the patch work. BTW which weld did you use, Mig or Tig? Also, for cutting what did you use?

Re: emma under construction(my hatch build)
nice work. Aren't those inner fenders a bitch?? I wish some body panel company would stamp those out. They'd sell the **** out of them.
Did you use the magnets out of an old set of speakers to hold the wheel arches in place ??
