Re: Im New here check out my tucked 97 civic project
I havent been on in a while thought i would do some updating. Jeff(85mmek9) and I have been doing some work lately, couldnt have done it without him.
Suspension Pic
I polished my turbo housing turbo set up is mounted permanently. Painted my victor x manifold, stripped and polished fuel rail.
Inter cooler mounted, and slim fan mounted in front of radiator
Have to build one more pipe and then down pipe
Mounted Battery Still have to paint bare metal(slackin)
Rear Suspension
Fuel Lines and Wiring Harness

Re: Im New here check out my tucked 97 civic project
I cant remember the exact ones but i used a couple different 3m automix products and then sanded the plastic down real thin where the holes were then taped up the back side and used the 3m products to fill in the holes as for the wiper arm locations i had to get creative there i glued in chunks of green florist Styrofoam. I then sanded the foam to shape and then used the 3m glue there also with some reinforcement patches. I did it about 6months ago and its still looks good so id say its going to hold up. Its pretty much the same a fixing a bumper cover with the same glues that 3m offers for bumpers. I should have took pictures but i did it at work when i was supposed to be doing something else im sure

Re: Im New here check out my tucked 97 civic project
Thanks man. Put alot of hard work into this car and it has taken some time but its all been worth it. My main goal is to get it in honda-tuning magazine but we will see if my dream becomes a reality.
Will post pictures as soon as i make more progress. I had a roll cage appt. but i just dont have the funds right now to spend that kind of money on a cage so its going to have to wait. So that may have to come down the road. Ill just finish the car and put one in later.
