Nice work man! Can't wait to see the thing painted. Your welding skills for the first time were pretty decent. Hopefully I can do as well as you did for my first time.

Re: civic hatch project car build thread
It looks really great man. I'm in the process of doing the same thing with a 93 civic ex sedan. There is a lot less body work on my car (more engine). I love all of the updates and I can't wait to see the finished project. Keep it up!

Dude, you have a new fan! I'm doing the same with a 93 Si, the old owner really screwed out with the car. Doing everything at the rebuilding brings a great satisfaction!

Re: civic hatch project car build thread
I dont have a picture to add but I got a cluster with a tach in it now. But I found the horn isnt working. Its either the clock spring (cable reel) or the switch itself. The steering wheel is missing one horn button already so I'm just going to replace both the wheel and clock spring. Thanks mike grout from endurance motorsports.

Re: civic hatch project car build thread
I found the horn problem last night. kinda funny, some jackass unplugged the clock spring. I plugged it in and the horn works great now. i went ahead and put the integra wheel in it because someone broke the right side horn button in the civic wheel. I'm telling you, the person who had this car before me shouldnt be working on cars at all, just saying.

Re: civic hatch project car build thread
Thanks man
And I bought a new front bumper for this thing. I'm going to leave it sealed in the package until it goes to the paint shop. The body work is on pause because my body people, chad and heather, just bought a house. hopefully they will get everything unpacked soon so this car can get done

Re: civic hatch project car build thread
I've been working my *** off lately. Chad and Heather have been doing the body work here and there and they said if the car was at their house they could do it faster. I towed it there last week so hopefully it will be going to the paint booth soon
