    yes you could. will be a pig of a job unless you have the necessary skills/equipment. no harm in pricing a new part if it saves you a week of cutting out welds etc :)

    It's about the worst possible place on the car bar the roof to have to replace. I'd seriously reconsider buying unless you're getting a serious deal. just how bad is it?

    As long as the work + price of car less or equal the price of an immaculate car.

    As a heads up Civics are going for peanuts now if you shop around.
