Uk eg6 undertakes makeover

[vtistu]

Iv had my civic vti for just over a year but havnt really spent alot of time or money on it, so for 2009 thats my plan!!

Gathered a few bits already for it, but its going into the body shop first to have rear arches cut out and new ones welded in and then the whole car painted!!
Just a few of the bits iv already collected

Hubs, brakes and wheels are changing for a 4x114.3 set up with 96spec alloys, 282mm front and 262mm rear brakes.

First things first though, new trailarm bushes were needed so had the fun job of burning them out

and replacing them with these

Took a trip to see Pazza the other day to pick up some well needed support for the civic, standard seats just dont cut it!! (Thanks Pazza)

Started on changing over hubs as mate managed to press polybushes into them the other day. So Vti hubs come off, integra hubs go on

Not managed to fully fit new hubs yet, but need to do it before it goes into the body shop. As you can see from the pics it needs to go in soon aswell before i have no arches left at all

And while i was working away today postwoman dropped this off for me

some one else on another forum has pointed that out to me, but seen as they go for silly money in the US and here in the UK i dont think i did bad picking that set up for $56 (£40)

 

[oddeb707]

No biggy, just put a sticker over it.

[J_Uhrig87]

looking good man. keep up the pace and that car will be done in no time. what color are you looking to have it sprayed? any other plans for it?

 

[SlowTEC]

Love the color, looks like you're doing it up right. Curious to see more.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

Looks like this going to be a good build.

Spent 20mins after work tonight fitting one side but was a little to dark so going to carry on tomorrow with the other side. Im getting excited to get it back on its wheels though.

 

[vtistu]

Spent a little bit of time this morning finishing one side off so that all that needs to be done is bleed the brakes. Disc, caliper, handbrake cable all back on. So now running ONE 262mm rear brake

Coin pocket fitted along with a trail fit of one of my new seats

Seat feels in perfect driving position, lower than before and holds alot better

 

[vtistu]

BACK ON ITS WHEELS!!!!!! got home from work tonight at 8 an got cracking straight away. Had new trailing arm on by 9 and back on its wheels by quater past. Chuffed to bits!!!! now for the body shop. ill gets some pics of rust before it goes in (its bad!!!)

 

[vtistu]

Took two pics before i went to work early this morn so here we go. As you can see the body work aint looking to great at the moment but never mind not to long now.
