Underconstruction: A lil info on me.

[Honda9206]

98 Honda Civic EX Coupe: I bought pretty much how it is now. 99-00 front end conversion, ICW 16" wheels

>Finally found an ex muffler in good condition so that will be on when I get the screws with springs.
>Decided on not dropping for a while. ( I have a pretty large credit card debt that needs addressing)
>Not doing swap for a while also. (have a baby on the way)
>I like the grille. The chrome grew on me but now I have gotten tired of it so will probably be paint matched ( do not want to be like everyone else with the OEM SI grille)
>Looking for nicer 16's (actually 4x100 and not universal)
>Everything is going to be painted in the spring (So i can do it outside with my spray gun and be cheap)

You did well removing the grille, eye lids, and headlights.

 

[Honda9206]

Thanks. yeah the grille was horrible, the headlights look horrible and sucked at night. went to certifit and spent only 110 bucks

Haha... congrats! As far as the car work goes...I feel you there. Thanks to the economic f**k-up we're in, my wife just lost her job... So, back to the $10 car mods and basic tune-ups for a while for both of us! Thank god for Haynes service manuals and cheap tools.

you should have kept the mugen grill and taken that garbage mesh out of it.

those things look like ass, period. with or without decent mess.


looks like your off to a good start. good plans.

 

[Honda9206]

Thanks guys. The MG grille to me was horrible but to each there own. Not to mention it was all f**ked up and fit like s**t. I hope I can get all the small mods done real soon. I hate to drive unattractive cars lol. But I have the B18c1 and gsr tranny at my buddies house. he had it in a 95 hatchie. But also came over to the 6th gen with a (i think) K20 but not sure. Just got to gather the funds for it and make time to an extensive install.

Also, how do you guys feel about black hood, roof, and trunk lid. I am probably going to go with a normal red to kinda darker red paint job.

[Honda9206]

[Bheims]

no to the black roof, like the idea of darker red and black hood/trunk combo

[Honda9206]

bump added pics

 

[AllStockHatch]

good job on the dericing. keep us updated. thanks for saving a civic!

 

[Honda9206]

anytime. if anyone is looking. look at the picture of the rearend. can anybody figure what is going on with the trunk. no frame damage.

 

[Honda9206]

Bump for new pictures. Also figured what was going on with the trunk. The old trunk was warped pretty bad (which caused rattles, leaking into the trunk, and just looking nasty). Also I have my old spoiler for sale.

 

[stupidguy10]

looks a lot better....just needs a good drop and will look reallll good....nice work

 

[Genuine Rolla]

not feelin' the chrome grill. Go with an OEM si one.

So far so good otherwise.

 

[thisisoriginal]
