Came with black hood.
Painted it silver,
It didn't have tach. so I replaced the cluster.
new cluster
Decided to paint my bumper today.
TAPE!
Not bad for a rattle can job
Also I was super bored so I decided to do amber corners.
Painted and cleared
Before.
After.

Re: 1986 civic hatch build
Very creative bumper work, it is a very nice design.
Which engine do you have? Time to hit the junkyard to get some spare mirrors..... the hatchback is getting scarce and the mirrors from the 4 doors does not fit unless you bore some of the holes a tad.... at least I managed to get one spare for the passenger side, and did the same thing for the cluster, got one with the tach..... with almost the same mileage 140.

I did a dpfi to mpfi and obd0 to obd1 swap in my wagovan for a d16z6 all the wiring I did myself. If its as easy as that I will be stoked.

Re: 1986 civic hatch build
Since I bought it for a daily so I can do a bunch more stuff to my wagon I probably won't be touching the motor.
But I do plan on painting it olive green pearl. Putting in hids and I wanna lower it. Just kinda stumped in the pre 88 suspension right now.
probably getting some ls webs or putting my sportmax 501's on it haha

Re: 1986 civic hatch build
I did the same thing, find the same vintage, 84-87 without the fuel injection, and it is a plain swap, the plugs matches. I have an 85 on the 86, I was even lucky to find a vehicle with only 2000 extra miles.

Re: 1986 civic hatch build
As to rears, you can try and find an old pair of jackson racing or lightspeed springs. You would be better off finding a set of lowering springs off an EF and lop off a couple coils..
Struts and shocks are no problem..
