Don't like this. Other than that it looks good.

I still can't believe he's selling this hatch. He basically tore it down to the shell and then rebuilt. It's practically a 2010 EG Civic. New paint, tons of new parts, rebuilt engine, good suspension and brakes, completely refinished interior, every detail was given lots of attention.

LOL @ having the same CC shirt as him.

From what is was, to what it is now, the guy did a great job.

Amazing looking paint (I am wondering what kind of paint that is actually), great exterior, engine bay is clean, but ugh... that interior with all the carpeting/wrapping. That's just not for me I guess.

I think he went a little over the top with the fabric interior, but it still looks good. I'd LOVE to have a flocked dash in the Suby.

My question is, how the hell does he keep the valve cover flocking on there at high temps? I'm really not familiar with the process, but it seems to me that it would start baking off after a fairly short time.

I was thinking this too. I don't think I could ever part with a car like that after i put that much work into it....
