Default pics of my restored 86 civic Si <<<<<<<<<couple new pics

i guess u could call it more of a "rodsteration" simply because the drivetrain was swapped and some suspension mods were done.

so this thing was rusted in the floors and rockers pretty bad. i used about 4 rolls of welding wire.

so here it is minty fresh...










when i get some professional pics done i'll post them up but for now this is all i have.
