| I've had 2 crashes in the Civic. The first crash involved 2 front bald tyres, 120kph & a patch of shingle on the corner up on the hills. Insurance payed out, the car should have been written off, but it wasent! The tow truck operator took a photo of the accident, I tried getting a copy, but he told me that none of the photos turned out! |

| The second crash involved 1 of my friends T-boning me. It was both of our faults, so we agreed to pay for our own repairs. I only have a few pictures of the dents & repairs |
|
| The door doesnt look too bad, but it had buckled completely. the bottom part of the guard was pretty smashed in. & part of the sill (underneath the door) had been pushed up The motor bike is an old AJS bike. |

| Theres a small dent infront of the brake light. We're all quite clueless to how that 1 actually got there. At least the bumper wasent pulled off! Hondas (I've found) are the worst to fix. They're like kit-set models, but typical of japanese manufactors, everything is small or enclosed so its hard to get at or find out what else is holding something in. I 'bogged' up this back panel. Underneath the tail light the panel comes off, the o'man took care of that as I hadent started my panel beating course when this happened. |

| Here is the sill after we had finished with it (yes it got painted so only people reading this site will know its there) We had to cut alot of the bogged patch out to fit in the port-a-power in to push the sill back out. Theres a dent in the door frame & the new door doesnt sit in there perfectly. Also Ive had problems with the keyless entry coz the motor that pushes the locking pin isnt working. Doesnt matter, as soon as its sold, its not my problem anymore |
