Some of you might remeber my old Civic coupe that my pops and I brought back to life with new quarters/paint, well that car is gone and I have bought this '95 DC4 shell for $200, my plans are to have it on the road and painted by late March. Since my pay isn't really high, and my parents don't pay for anything, it's going to take me a while to get it done being 17 with only a part time job. I'm not planning on doing any mods to it untill it's 100% road ready and I'm driving it, since it's going to be my DD. Anyways, on with the pics.
This was the day I went to go look at it.
Brought it home today and my friend helped my work on it, it was raining for a bit so that's why the cars are wet. Lol.
My friend took all the pics, so they might suck. LOL! Jks man.
Putting the coupe back to stock for new owner.
I'll have more pictures of the DC4 tomorrow when it's going to be sunny out.

Took some better pictures of it.
Motor is coming out this week, and the new one is getting dropped it. Then it's off to my dad's friends body shop where I'm going to be doing all the body work on it and then he'll be painting it for me. I'll keep you guys updated.

That's big talk Mr. Ipartoutmycoupe. 
I'm dropping the motor tomorrow, and putting the new one in Saturday if my clutch comes in.

We're like aids, but we don't cause death. Just very slight putmedown's.
I just want everyone here to know that I don't support this build at all... sure it has 2 doors, but they're dumb. EJ1 > all kthnxbye 
On a more serious note. Good luck with this one, I know you'll treat her nice. Now get to work!

Re: My 1995 DC4 restoration/build
All I have left to do is unbolt the motor mounts and it's out. Tomorrow it'll be out, and hopefully next weekend it'll be running.
