Default Monkey's 4dr EJ8

lets give this thing a little background. this car was owned by some asian dude who lived in the ghetto and decied to claim the car stolen and strip it himself. sold the parts and got money from the insurance company. he kept the money and sold the car. the car went to a friend of mine and tried to piece it back together. compared to when it first got to his house it has come along way. but im about to take it further.

1997 Honda Civic EX
79xxx miles
price tag-$2k

when i was about to buy it

black housing headlights

no bumper

as soon as i brought it home



more updates soon!!!
