my newest projet
This is going to be a slooow build since im in collage and dont have a good job at the time. I had a 93 civic hatch VX but i had a better shot at getting a better conditioned hatch so i had this one sent to a junk yard and i'm working in the teal hatch. i have a few pics here of the first hatch i got its rough!.

Re: my newest projet
oka well i decided to junk this one and i picked up a new hatch in nice shape no rust and all original panels, just front end damage. give some opinions tell me what you think. my plans are. painting it purple, fixing the front end, and try for 500 hp b20vtec or lsvtec not decided yet.

Re: my newest projet
That's rough... clean outside, but that frame rail is in sorry shape. Even the inner fender/apron. I don't mean to **** in your corn flakes, but if it was me I'd scrap that one too. You're going to have a hell of a time trying to fix that. Civics aren't designed to be scrunched up and stretched back out. Even if you manage to get that thing on a frame rack and get it close to the factory dimensions, that whole side will be weak.
I hope you know what you're doing, I hate to see anyone waste time with an un-fixable project.

Re: my newest projet
noooo. im cutting and welding, not stretching the intends to weaken the metal. justcut and drill out the spot welds and reweld there not hard alot easier then the frame rack
