Default Bringing this 96 Civic Back to Life, W/ a TwIsT

So I was building a Crx when A Previous owner from a year back Finally Convinced me to trade it to him...

In Turn, I Ended Up with This 96 Civic Coupe w/ a 99-00 Front end...
dirty As HELL! Rttle Can Primer, then Rattle Can Satin Blue... All Sprayed by the Kid i got it From.

I Swapped my Rims on it the Day i Got It, Cleaned all the garbage out of it and started Tearing into the Body Work for a little Paint... of my Own Style.



this is the blue it was rattle canned before me, but on my rims.






the Original Color












This is the Point we are at currently.

I Ordered a couple parts and some paint...

Now mind you, This is My Style, some May Like it Some May Not. Im Kinda on a Satin Kick Right Now. I'm Going Back Close to the Stock Green Color, BUT It is Gonna Be a SATIN Green Pearl. Like it Or Not, My Choice, My Car.

Hot Rod Flatz Rally Green Pearl






Here is my Last Satin "Project"

Best of luck with the projects. Just one curious thing... why are you capitalizing random words in your sentences? It makes your statements more difficult to read then using proper grammar.

Sorry, it just makes you look like you're speaking with a speech impediment.
