Flawless, my friend. I can't get enough of it.

Did you get some other shots of the show? That would make a really cool thread.

Wow nice car. I love it. But hey where did you get those fender mirrors from? Are they the actual mirrors from the jdm civic or are they from something thing else? Cause I got an 82 Civic an I'm thinking of putting fender mirrors on mine.

They are, I believe, a generic, but very close to OEM, fender mirror. With yours, I think you'd need to find the set that has the square mirrors. My understanding is that the mirror shape coincides with the headlight shape.

OK cool thank you. An that makes sense about the head lights matching the mirror shape.

Thanks

Oh shoot. I'm glad you have no plans to drop it. The cool thing about this car is that I can imagine it (other than the left hand drive and sweet wheels) sitting on a Japanese cliff in 1978, posing for its ad shots. It actually looks comfortable to drive, too.

Thank you very much, E-AT. It is dropped, actually. About 3" worth.

It is but isn't. It has a stock engine, but from a 1979 Honda Accord. So it went from a 1.5L to a 1.8L. Other than that, yes it is stock. And no plans to alter that, either. I just want to keep it running.

Lolol. I'm taking the car to The Mitty this weekend coming up and trying to decide if I want to put my black steelies (with chrome trim rings) back on for this. As I stated above, it is dropped almost 3" and that is how far it will be. And it does ride good.

Thank you, man. But lowering it more is pointless.

I used to think like you when I was your age.........about 20 years ago. But now-a-days, I think a bit differently.
