Default slopoke27's build thread

I'm bored at work right now and figured I'd post up this 'project' my friend, Rico (slopoke27 on here), and I started on his Civic. The plan for his car is to wire tuck as much as possible without going to overboard and take tooo long and to paint his engine bay since people are hatin' on it being half-assed painted..... I'll try and keep this as updated as possible. We started last night and have yet to do anything today....

Day 1:





























covered by bmw M5 car cover.. hahahaha

I would have just dropped the motor. It must be such a pain to work around, and then you could clean that up too.

Edit:

Pix loaded.
