I would like to restore a civic from the 70,s but would like to know where to read up on the pitfalls and problems I might run into?

 

man i don't know you might try a google search or try e-bay good luck and welcome to hcf

 

yeah your best bet is the internet obviously

 

very little info is available when i looked around, but it is out there you just have to keep looking and find stuff. i hope your search goes well and you build up a real nice civic. or go the custom route and build a turboed cbr1000rr engine and put it in the back so you would have a mid-engined rear drive civic sleeper

 

damn, i have never heard of anyone trying to do that. lol. good luck tho

 

i seen it once with a busa engine in a classic mini, did an 11sec 1/4 and popped the tires off the groung in first and sec. i figured a cbr, because you gotta stay honda and wrecked ones are easily available

 

Oh yeah. if you go to any junkyard you can find tons of civics. but they have usually alredy been stripped. b/c of the wide variety of interchangeable parts.
