I doubt this thing's repairable, but I'm give it a shot



the radiator support part of the fram is bent, I'ma try to either hammer it back into shape or drill out the welds and find another one up in the junkyards


OOHH!!! rust spot on the door, this sucks....


with this kinda exhaust tip, you KNOW this thing's a beast. lol


well at least it was built up in Japan so it's somewhat JDM


well this thing's been sitting out in my front lawn for like 4 yrs after my dad wrecked it, the thing's a 60hp beast, I don't even wanna know the whp.

1984 Civic, it's probably not worth fixing or unfixable but it'll keep me busy.

 

damm...
i'll i can say is good luck.

 

Thats going to be a ton of work but good luck and props for trying

 

imo: not worth it but if it keeps you buisy good luck with it

 

Props and whatnot, but dont you think it would be cheaper just spending a grand on a crx or hatch compared to repairing that one ? ?

 

yeah I guess, I COULD try buying a crx for a grand, but what fun is that? and besides, I always wondered how fast 60 horses could go.

equvilent to a moped

 

Clean out under the hood and see what's what. You could fix that thing up as long as the primary rails are okay... and it's better to spend $1500 (or however much) to fix THAT ONE vs. oh yeah I just bought another one and junked this one... You will be MUCH more proud to drive it around with all that work you put into it... and you will KNOW how it works, all new parts/inspected parts, etc

 

definately fixable, we fix cars hit 4x as hard as that on a daily basis in work. considering you don't have a frame machine you need to fine some means of pulling the frame. first off take the fenders off and cut the radiator support out so you can pull the frame easier, i'd chain the car down, you have to hold it back somehow, maybe attatch a chain to the rear tow hook and hook it to a tree or big car, get a comealong winch and a body clamp (look online) to "pull" the frame or at least take a good amount of tension off the metal so you can heat up the areas you wanna pull one spot at a time until they are cherry red and and just massage it back to place the best you can, big pipes hammers, poles, prybars, use anything that'll work considering your doing this in your yard once you think its exceptable weld on your new rad support. remember to keep test fitting parts a million times along the way to make sure your making the right kinda of progress.

 

I love the stone e-brakes!!

 

yeah I'll do something like that.
keep in mind this isn't my only car, it's just a car to fix up and occupy my time

this is my ride, I just don't wanna drive it daily.


2 ten inch subs


I love this EM1....

 

good stuff, buy youll be happier repairing a crx

 

as much as i dont want to say I think you might have to let that go to civic heaven

Wooden? if plastic's the new wood, then sure, watevr floats your boat

 

Big ups to 3rd gen civic hatch! Good luck man! Hope you pull it off!

 

if anyone knows of a junkyard with a food front ended civic close to Atlanta, it'd be appreciated if you could point it out.
