Default Pics of my "new" car as promised...

Well, as I posted before in the Civic forum, I picked up a new car finally last week. The previous owner was somewhat of a "ricer", so I've been spending alot of time cleaning the car up, and getting it back to a somewhat stock, clean look that I like. Some good things he added was the new brake setup borrowed from a 00 Si. Other than that, It's pretty much just another clone hatchback...

The standard side shot...


Check out those rear discs on a DX...


The ever-popular Integra seat swap...


The cluster swap is common place now...I can't be left out...


I know the car Isn't anything special, but I have been waiting for a car for almost 4 months now after my last one was stolen. This makes Honda #5 for me, happy day!

Trust me, you're not missing anything...It does have a newer 1.6, instead of the old DX 1.5 though.

The wheels are actually mine...I had them up for sale on this board last month, but nobody wanted them. They're Sprint Hart/Racing Hart CP-FG's. Also, I paid $4k for the car. It has required quite a bit of cleaning up and de-ricing, but it's come a long way in just a few days. Thanks guys!

I was hoping for new panels. I'm **** when it comes to things being used before me. For me to buy panels out of a wrecked car, they'd have to be meticulous. Anyone know of new panels at a good price?

The previous owner installed those, so they came with the car. The car stops on a dime, it's great.
