Default New guy from the UK - Civic Jordan restoration

Hello!

Been browsing the site for a few years, so thought I'd finally get round to registering. Currently in the process of restoring my Civic Jordan, I'm sure some of you know what they are, but for those that don't here's a brief summary from wikipedia:

'To commemorate the Honda (Mugen) Jordan F1 team. A 500 car special limited edition Honda Civic VTi (EK4 3-door model) was created with their own signed Eddie Jordan Plaque with the specific number stamped on it in the centre console. This car was sold in 1999–2000. It had the same basic spec as the EK4 VTi, but the extras included: Sunlight Yellow paint work, yellow-and-black leather interior, Jordan decals on the sides and rear of the car as well as stitched into the seats and floor carpets.'

I've had the car for almost 3 years, but it's been off the road for the past 2. Currently undergoing a complete bare shell restoration, respray and rebuild with some nice improvements.

















And a few of the parts that occupy my front room, waiting to be fitted:














So yeah, hi! I'll be sure to start a build thread when I get a chance!

Awesome start on a rare car! Anything with that much Hardrace hardware is definitely gonna be a quality build.

Thanks for all the welcome comments! Just familiarising myself with the site layout, then will get a build thread together.

The gold Beaks bar was thrown in for free with the ASR brace, but I wanted a blue one to match the Hardrace gear

I will upload a parts list shortly of what I've got for the rebuild, have to leave a couple of bits off though as some of my mates who I don't want knowing use the site

Thanks!
