Default My Build Thread!!! check it out

ok so i bought my car 3 weeks ago its a 1988 honda civic i got it for $700
and i love it
right now its only 4 speed and has 242,xxx miles on the engine

i am a full time student and am working full time at minimum wage and have twins so its gonna take awhile to get it finished but it will get there

anyways i wanted to make a build thread about my car so you guys can see how it comes along anywhere here it is

when i first bought it




next to my other car


got some H.I.D.'s for it (20,000k)






then i blacked out my tail lights


then i went to Laughlin and some idiot security guard rear ended me



just a pic i like


built a box for one 12 (makes my windows shake)


put a different head unit in and a Mugan short shifter (don't mind the mess i've been working on it)



^^^my friend gave me a steering wheel he had just need the hub thing in one of the pics


more to come shortly

Ported or closed box?
Ported works better and always requires a bigger box.
