ok well my friend owns a 1993 honda civic dx and he thought it would be cool to put a big bodykit and some 18's on it. RICE!!!!!!!! Well after months of harassing him about how retarded the car looked i convinced him to switch it back to stock and and put some smaller wheels on and lower it and inch or 2. so a couple days later he calls me up and says i got some tein springs and tokico shocks along with some prelude alloy wheels. so i tell him to get his dad to let us use his shop and this saturday we tore the whole car apart.

ENJOY.

Before pictures









The tear down











we also decided to redo his gross valve cover



now it was time to rip out the suspension



we ran into a problem when we broke a bolt on the shock hoop. so we had to cut the loop off to drill out the seized bolt.

heres the owner of the car cutting the shock apart.



the bolt that we had to drill



new suspension







put the stock body back on



owner putting the wheels on



lower than before





the owners brother that did the suspension with me while the owner did the body



and a pic of me the master mind behind the whole project. also note the red valve cover we painted



and my car

if you are speaking for him lol, then why did he claim "dumped?" sarcasm?

 

Looks good...although I'm more in a jealous state for someone having a nice hydraulic lift at their disposal....hydraulic lifts FTMFW

 

good turnout. Needs some nicer wheels because they make the car look like crap.

 

that's dropped? well it looks better than it did

 

much better now that the hideous front bumper has been removed! keep it up and keep is posted!
