Addiction2bass's Repair and Upgrade Project Civic 96DX
ok well today i bolted up the ac condenser and just snapped some pics of the car. the cars not cleaned, but you can see the shades not right but o well its just a temp anyways 






bumper cover still looks ugly as hell.LMFAO

and my finally finished passenger door panel in tweed.LOL only took me what 3-4months to get off my @ss and do it.LOL


o ya thats my ghetto rear view mirror, it jumps like crazy with the bass and the zip ties help hold it inplace.
and my alarms antenna. its not stuck to the windshield because i want to get the window tint redone on the car and didnt want to have to peel it off when i get the new tint.
now i just have to try and get the cars AC vaced and charged because ITS HOT OUT.... and right now my truck costs to much to drive. im just HOPING that no other lines are cracked/leaking and that the ac works when i have it charged! thats gonna be about 200bucks to have it charged.
and i do have to replace one more Oring on the top hose. i thought i bought that one but i cannt find it now at least so have to buy another one. at least it is very easy to swap being ontop. hoping for cold air....

I think the hood/fenders that you painted look nice! As you have mentioned already, that front bumper cover looks pretty scary..lol Good work so far. The car will look completely different once the front end is finished.
Edit.. I forgot to add that I like how you did the roof liner and had the visors wrapped to match!

they are painted. LMFAO just most of it is falling off! previous owner did a horible job! even the side skirts really suck. i have some smooth red painted ones that im going to scuff and paint to match. since i dont want to have to sand that skirt down smooth.
i do have some hubcaps... well center caps.

i do have some 99-00 hubcaps BUT they are mostly scratched up and one is missing some chunks. so im just goint to wait and paint them to match also. i just got some lug nuts for them last week at the junk yard.
im still trying to decide which way ill like the most... painted steelies with the center caps or painted hubcaps.
but first thing i need is 2 good tires for the 14inch steelies. ive got 13s on the front and 14s on the rear but the tires suck on the 14s i already have. ive got 3 more 14inch steelies but all have horrible tires and i dont trust them.
and after running my next paycheck i wont have enough to get the ac filled. so ill just buy the plastic safe paint stripper and primer again and spray paint for the front bumper. the rest of my cash goes to gas and groceries after i pay all my bills.

and i also have to buy some copper piping so i can fix the water pipes out in the shop that froze and busted this last year.... this way i can start the body work out in the shop with water.LOL otherwise i have to buy a 100ft garden hose to run it out to the shop.LOL
O YA AND IF ANYONE IS AT A JUNK YARD AND SEES A 99-00 CIVIC WITH THE HOOD.... PLEASE ****** the rubber seal along the front for me 
i just modified my 96 seal and it sucks. and no way in hell im going to spend 100bucks for a new seal at honda! TOTAL BS PRICE!

ok well another day of abit of work. painting the bumper cover.
funny thing is i stripped most of the old primer/sealer off with just a garden hose
good thing i never took the car thru the car wash. LOL
hopefully that sanding the bumper cover and the plastic promoter will do the trick and not flake off anymore.... at least until i do the full paint job.

then i used the bumper stripper and plastic promoter, primed and then painted/clear.
and no im not going to install it till tomorrow. so no installed pictures yet sorry. just dont want to risk messen up the paint. still not to shabby for spray cans if i do say so myself.
