Whats up everyone! Thanks for looking in!

Ok, so I'm off for a late start. I bought this car March but really haven't had any chance to work on the car. It's a 1999 Vogue Silver Metallic Honda Civic CX hatchback. I'm into old school Honda's, but when I heard that the person that had the car before me was selling it, I had to hop on it. The car was bought as a shell, therefore it was a little more easy to get started with, because there was no motor. Well lets move on to the pictures.

I dont really have any before pictures. So here's how the car is sitting right now.

Esteban (slamef) giving me the thumbs up for the project!

We can't get any work done without some Wawa tea! The official solFRESH and 4Function drink!

This is the before picture of the engine bay. Stay tuned for the after shot!

Door panels OUT!!!!

Getting ready to take out the headliner!

Interior rear panels OUT!!!!

These items always come in handy when you want to take out a dent!

Esteban (slamef) has split personality like Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde! One second he's good, the next he isn't!

Here he's good!

The transformation

The outcome!

This is me! Yours truly, Diogenes! Taking out the rear seat belts.

Some elbow grease was needed! That bolt was tight!

Video update #1 5/5/2009

Well, thats all for now. I'll have another update in about 4-5days! Stay tuned!

For some reason I thought you had a DA......Can't wait to see some progress!

ddipre11 · 05-05-2009, 09:38 PM

I did have a DA but I sold that car in march prior to buying this one. I'm not going to lie, I do regret selling my DA.

lol

Yeah man, its going to be a bit of a rush. I'm pushing to be ready for the first week of July; just to be safe for IA. But if I don't make it, it's no biggie. I'll just find a ride with someone else that's going. As far as pictures of the DA, I don't really have any. The car was nothing out of the norm. It was just a project that was never started. Right now I could only find one picture being a ricer back in the days lol

.kyle · 05-07-2009, 06:48 AM

Well right now the car is just waiting for some parts to come in the mail, so it could go to paint. I do plan on taking the car to some Auto X events and some Open Track days at nearby courses. Stay tuned, there will be more to come.

They never told me about no LTI grad party. Shit! Even if they did I still would not have gone. The car will be low and slow for meets but every now and then it will be Auto X'd and Road Raced.
