I’m from Northern California San Jose area.
Okay, will look into that part of S2KI, thank you

 

Thank you guys all so much for your help. I’m looking at two shops that I found a lot of people relying on here on s2ki. Getting quotes for it, one shop estimated $8-10k for everything. I’m not sure if I can do the workmanship required for the spot welds and also the painting.

in the near future I’m going to get this back on four wheels and take it to a shop to see the rest of the frame damage, like a lot of people advised here. I’m thinking the trunk pan and quarter panels bent outta shape so those are gonna have to be replaced.

really hoping there’s nothing wrong with the x frame.....

im thinking besides the quarter panel and trunk, the rest are just dropping replacement parts into place. (Wheel bearings, control arms, tail light, bumper etc)

I’ll keep you guys updated! Thanks for the link as well I’ll see if the shops can utilize those.

should my next step be to get on wheels and take it to a shop or something else before that?

 

Sorry for your loss. Maybe it's just me but a common color (black) 2002 with 105,000 miles isn't worth putting $10,000 into. Yeah it looks like the all-red interior which is rare 'cuz few wanted it. Post photos on a lift and change my mind.

welp, it was in perfect condition before what I did to it hahahaha
but this color is just amazing in person, and super rare. This is my dream car so why not have a special one. It was also a really really good pick up at around 17k. I don’t want to live knowing i let go of a one of a kind s2k which is already becoming rare nowadays.

but I get your point. Honestly if it was any color I probably would toss it as a rebuild to someone on Facebook. I just don’t like giving up on things easily hahaha it’s an expensive habit hahaha

of course if it’s crazy wrecked there’s no fixing it. That would be a sad day

 

I got a preliminary quote from active auto body in San Jose. Also took off the bumper I don’t think it’s too bad but any input?

 

Bro those lug nuts are the wrong type for the car. You're going to damage the lugs or wheels.

I see everything.

 

Either I'm under evaluating PDR...or your monitor needs more pixels.

 

oof, I’ll take care of those lol it came like that

Mind me asking how it’ll mess it up?

 

They're almost for sure a 60 deg cone seat. Honda OEM wheels use a ball seat. You need ball seat lug nuts.

You're trying to shove a wedge where a radius should be.

 

ah I see, neglected by the previous owner...
Didn’t even keep the spline tool to remove the lugs.

thank you for letting me know
