I grew up in a body repair shop called the Bump parlor in Oregon City Oregon. First off don't use bondo if you want to do it right. Now I am not saying bondo should never be used I just think it should be used as a last resort. With a 92 civic parts are easy to find as the civic is a popular car I would recommend calling around at junk yards to find the parts you need.

use glass (fiber glass ) last longer and more stable i have re done 4 cars and 1st 1 i use bog and it was shit u fiberglass u can patch over holes and not worry bout haveing to pl8 it b4 hand

dents on the other hand pends how big thay are iff there base ball size there ezz grab ya self a pannel beaters anvil its a little steal block (looks like a shoe near on)

and a ball pin hammer use bog spareing to smooth

ne thing bigger pop em out and use glass or dent will be weak spot and pop in some times
glass is good for plastic fixes as well
