RE: HUM... thinking about picken up a project civic...
well id prefer a 96-00 hatch...... BUT for the cost ill rock it hard.... im not saying its gonna be a total beater... i gotta make it run good and drive good and then ill move into looks... tho it wont be a show car!
i might even move into some engine swaps or turbos overtime......
only downfall about the car that i dont like is the AC was removed..... BUT for a manual tranny ride ill rock it and just roll the windows down....
ok editing pictures smaller but will leave up the larger picture folder for anyone wanting to look closer.....

couldnt be worse than it was with my truck tho... cause techincaly i sold my truck twice! first time brothres friend was making payments and driving my truck... hard to leave it and watch it come and go... then to get it back and resell it again and watch it get towed off
should be a fun little project! now gotta convice parents to let me borrow 200bucks to buy this motor..

well...... i realy dont have a mod list yet... besides replace whats busted,,,,,, clean up the wiring of course...LOL
mostly just get it on the road...
put my stock struts springs on it. and depending on the sound of that exaust replace the muffler with a stocker.... typical header.... new front splash shields cause they are missing..
and then just slowly work out the body work to smooth it out and paint it back stock green.
tho windows will be completly retinted.... 5% all back windows 20% on front windows besides windshield.
and well after that its just a what can i find cheap for it that would look alright. ive done pleanty of reseach on mods for my year civic.... now i have to check out these older civics to see what looks good on them.....
but new headlights and corners are needed. might go with some black projectors... but then again its preaty much just a quick list. more research needed.... cardomain is probably the bestplace to look at other modded cars and see what i like and whats a HELL NO WAY MOD....LOL

From one of the pictures, you can see the rack & pinion bellows is busted (inner tie rod dust cover) and the bolt for the anti-sway bar is bent. If you're using it just as a beater, the bolt can stay bent.

ya i noticed the steering boot busted i hope i could just replace the boot if its posible... have to drop it and check it out... never messed with rack and pinion before and never pulled a motor outta a honda either....LOL will be learning experience. and well the sway bar bolt should be preaty cheap...
but none of the underbody looks bent...... at least from me looking under it where its at.
will get alot beter look after i get it home and up in the air...
