Jay Jay's Back from the Dead EK

[Jay Jay]

I'm finally working on my civic and driving it again after years of sitting. It was my first car I got back in 2000 and is the reason I started this site. I decided I should post up a build thread as I continue to get it cleaned up and add things.

I can't tell; was it originally DAP, or black?

 

[Jay Jay]

Thanks. It was originally DAP. I love that color didn't want to spend 2k on a respray/rust repair plus I always wanted a white panda hatch.

Yeah, I've been looking at wheels. I do like the Koseis though. I recently got some RPF1's in black but they didn't clear my brakes up front so i sold them.
