New Build Thread: Vsm Civic Hatch

So, this project should get going pretty quick. Got the car tonight, and gonna start ordering some parts tonight

I bought this car as a shell: No motor, no cluster, no, wheels, no suspension, no seats for $1400. It was originally DAP but was repainted vsm at some point. The paint job isn't as oem quality as I'd like it, but at least they painted the jams and the bay.

So, I brought my D2 suspension I had, as well as some si wheels and towed it home. First order of business, had to lower the suspension back down to slammed status. Unfortunately it's not as low as my old hatch so I'll have to take some more collars out

Old hatch pic for reference -

Pics of new hatch -

(Sorry for the shitty quality, my Nikon is at a buddy's house)

Btw, the car is a 98, but it has 99 front end, 99 tails, and a 99 hatch

Plans for the car? Full wiretuck, jdm b16 swap (already have), s2k seats (already have) si lip & grill, si style rear lip, tint the windows, full stereo system (already have), full alarm system with rs (

) (already have), as well as my radar detector/lazer jammer (already have). I'd like to say that I'll turbo the car, but I'll probably get bored with the car within a year and trade it for a db8

Would rather have stock ones, but these are paint matched so I won't complain

Dre, might as well go buy a stock 96-98, it sounds like you want that stuff more

Looks good though

Hey, just cause I like the cupholders better and don't mind the 98 climate control doesn't mean that I want a 96-98
