from rice to nice. the transformation begins
ok well my friend owns a 1993 honda civic dx and he thought it would be cool to put a big bodykit and some 18's on it. RICE!!!!!!!! Well after months of harassing him about how retarded the car looked i convinced him to switch it back to stock and and put some smaller wheels on and lower it and inch or 2. so a couple days later he calls me up and says i got some tein springs and tokico shocks along with some prelude alloy wheels. so i tell him to get his dad to let us use his shop and this saturday we tore the whole car apart.
ENJOY.
Before pictures
The tear down
we also decided to redo his gross valve cover
now it was time to rip out the suspension
we ran into a problem when we broke a bolt on the shock hoop. so we had to cut the loop off to drill out the seized bolt.
heres the owner of the car cutting the shock apart.
the bolt that we had to drill
new suspension
put the stock body back on
owner putting the wheels on
lower than before
the owners brother that did the suspension with me while the owner did the body
and a pic of me the master mind behind the whole project. also note the red valve cover we painted
and my car
