only quarters are rusty on the parts car!

doors have 1 or 2 spots (around 2 mm spots)

Driver side door is rusting on the inside below the door panel but just starting.

Overall the panels i need are 100x better than whats on my car.

I'll be swapping both doors, fenders and bumper

Restore work has begun, I'll probably take about 2 - 3 weeks to get it all sorted out. I only have about an hour or two every day after work to do anything.

Sure looks naked without the kit on it!

I was afraid to look behind the side skirts at the rocker panels and seeing rust but boy was i relieved to see this. Very Very Minor at the back right corner.

And here is a picture from about a week ago before all this work started

Yep, those sills are still nice and solid. Are you going to get the rust repaired on the rear arches?

That rust on the bottom of the drivers door is very unusual...

Yah I'm getting the arches repaired.

And BTW our cars are left hand drive so the picture you see there really is the passenger side door

and the rust is on both doors. I just did a temporary paint job on the drivers side so it's hard to see..

Rust on the bottom of the doors is common on the preludes here in Toronto. Which is why I got the parts car and the doors and fenders are in excellent shape!

Painted the rear valences last night and color is very very close!

I can't see a difference at all, in the pictures.

it was all scratched up and paint was chipping.

The doors have rust on the bottom so over time the side skirts started yellowing in that area.

The front lip has like a million stone chips

All of these area's will be taken care of

No I mean you said the re-painted rear skirts colour was very very close (presumably to the rest of the bumper). I was saying that it looked so close, I couldn't tell a difference (as in, it's a very good match), not that I couldn't tell a difference from before you started fixing up the car

Obviously it's much better
