new life for the hatch...again

Post by DC_T »

I had a thread on here but its really old, so i figured i'd make a newer thread and kind of time line what i've done so far on my civic. welp, here it goes...

I got this car last year, right around this time. bought it off a friend of mine, whos sister in law wrecked it and it sat in his father in laws garage for about 5 years untouched. i picked it up w/ plans to fix it and sell it. you guys know how that goes though...

when i picked it up

Image

rebuilding time...

Image

Image

Image

Image

new front end...

Image

Image

Image

Image

rad support on, new fender, hood, radiator, intake, condensor...blah blah, all that stuff

Image

how i drove it for the last year, decent paint, and no rust!

Image

Image

Image

Image

then at the worst time possible, the engine gave out. so i decided to drop the ls/vtec i built for my integra in it, and boost it : )

before i started

Image

Image

brains

Image

Image

thats it for now. i dropped it on ground control coilovers and tokico blues for now. more updates to come!

p.s. sorry for the long picture post, just trying to get caught up
