OK she is now in its new home...... EDIT ****EN forum post issues!
just got done pulling it off the trailer. it started up and ran fine right onto the trailer but i just pushed it off the trailer due to a dead battery. the guy even had to jump it. i asume just a bad or totaly dead battery. i have to bust out the bolt cutters and cut the hood latch to get to everything

also the car previously took a hit on the passenger door part around the hinges is bent up.
but so far good deal still since the motor runs. gotta cut the hood off to inspect radiator if it actualy holds water or not so i can posibly drive it around the yard alittle after i charge the battery up. decently clean interior at least should clean up nicely.
beaner stereo instal. 4gauge wire thru the door hinges, rcas ran thru the middle of the car AROUND the center console.LOL and i dont think the radio antena is hooked up since i cannt get any stations to lock. and the antena is holding firm down. have to get some pliers and try to yank it out.

YES INDEED... tho suprisingly the muffler doesnt sound to bad. im shocked how quite it really is. so i can keep it on the back burner to do for awhile before i just buy a standard muffler for it.
my first body mod to the car, check out the custom hood baby hahahha

ok new day. most bad sheet metal removed, just not all the front radiator suport. i just put in a new radiator and DANG IT.... the new radiator has a pin hole leak on the top of it so i gotta remove it tomorow and exchange it for another new one. BUT so far motor runs good even tho it has the honda idle surge right now have to see if its just the bubbles in the radiator or cloged intake part just needed cleaned.
and one thing i found out that hell ya the fart can needs removed! going to go back stock muffler this time.

ill probably replace mine with skunk2 shifter and shift ****. tho first things first get everything running(radiator and upper O2 sensor replaced), front end fixed, alignment, then AC fixed, then muffler, and then the short shifter, its just not that high on the MUST/NEED to do list

woot! on your way to a non riced out car! So , you've got a bit of work ahead of you, atleast it'll be one less ghetto-rigged civic on the road in the end.
