hi ,

i just bought an honda cvic 95/94 LSI hatchback now the thing is the passanger wing is realy damaged back bumper is a bit cracked and front bonnet wont shut.

Now ive check the garages and they tell me that i need to replace all 3 parts but i was just wondering im pretty new to body work if i can replace them my self i mean there not all major damage but would cut some labour costs.. i can buy the parts from the scrapyard tommrow so if someone can help me and let me know if its easy or hard to replace them then that would be great.

thanks

also the seats are wobling inside the car any ideas how to fix ?

 

passenger wing???? (mirror?)
rear bumper is easy to replace. five bolts across the top under the tail gate, two under the car and two in the front of the bumper fastened to the fenders.
front bonnet? (hood) easier to replace than the rear bumper. four bolts at the hinge it falls off. alignment is a little bit of a pain but not difficult at all. It could also be the latch or even radiator mount that holds the latch. Latch is easy and self explanitor when you see it, the radiator mount is not easy to replace.

Wobling seats could be a mount broken or simply a bolt missing or loose. there are four bolts that hold down the seat. they're pretty obvious, two front two rear. If they're tight see what's actually moving.

Sounds like the car was in a accident, double check everything. strange things get broken and don't show up right away.

 

yah i think it was in an accident but the engine is sweet got it checked out that what counts for me.

The wing i meant the passanger side not the mirror but the whole wing thats whats greatly damaged , there are some dents around the car but not major ones so once ive fited these parts i can give it to an garage to fix the dents.

last question is the the wing .. how do i replace that ?.

thanks for the help Relic1.

 

wuts a passenger side wing?

 

u mean the mirror housing? pull out the little black triangle at the front of the inside of the window. remove the 3 bolts under it and it should come off

 

hrm i think you do not understand, il show a pic of the wing , maybe you guys call it something else tho.
