Awhile back I had a 1989 Honda Civic Hatchback, that I traded for another car. Well I just got it back today via some more trades. And let me say, the guy that had it RICED! It out BIG time, and ran the **** out of the car. My goal is to take all the crap off that he put on, and get it back to stock with a few mods, but no where near what he did. I might just pull all the good parts off this one, and junk it and buy a 91 Hatch shell that Im looking at.

 

You may want to wrapped those battery positive (+) terminal next to the air intake tube.It just too close to each other.

 

i'd say definitely junk that chassis. it needs an assload of work.

-molded rear bumper is going to be a pain in the dick for one
-he decided to remove the door moldings for some reason also, which looks ugly as **** and will take many hours to remove and reattach stock trim.
-weird **** attached to the front bumper
-taillights
-hood
-muffed up passenger side fender
-riced interior
-still a DPFI turd

i wouldn't touch this car with a 10 ft pole lol

 

Tail lights are stock, all he did was paint over them. He also used TONS of bondo to fill in both sides of the door molding.

This will be a project for sure, but I will see what I can do.

 

id keep it and just work on it. its a great project. ditch the body kit,*** load of gauges and the apc seats. good luck with it

 

He spray bombed the car like 4 times, and laid the paint down thick. Same with the bondo. He also painted every interior piece with cheap spray paint, so the whole interior needs replaced, the carpet and back seats are trashed, the dash is dash is trashed, the gauge cluster is trashed, the headliner is trashed. Almost everything in the car is trashed.

 

why do people f*** up civics like this haha good luck with it. and i would prob take off the good parts and junk it to much work for nuthin imo

 

Definitely just junk it, what an idiot.

 

poor civic

 

holy mother of rice! why
would u trade back for that?

 

ill buy your headers to help jump start your project

 

Wow. It blows my mind to think that someone out there thinks that's cool.




Over 800 posts without realizing that an inline four has a single header?

 

i know its called a header i am just so used to saying headers cause i am used to workin on engines that have pistons bigger than your brain

 

ill buy that air fuel ratio gauge to help fund it...lmao lmk

 

BAHAHAHAHA i dunno what else to say!!!


please junk it!

 

Don't ask why I got it back, but I did. I will figure something out with it.

 

Just got back from my first day of therapy...

This just opened a whole new can of worms....

 

ok... that's a peculiar first post ^

 

1.....2......3..... Not it!! I would just ditch the rice bucket and start with a cleaner (read: less retarded) shell...

 

You got it back because of the same reason I wouild have got it back, the EF bug has bite you,she is not done yet a lot of long nights ahead of you, but not out the game yet good luck!Just remeber this the peeps who say junk it, are it can't be fixed are the peeps that can't do it.....are you one of those? I'll be lookin forward to your progess.

rip off the front bumper, rear bumper, lights, hood, seats, gauges, etc, and scrap them them strip the rest of the car down and give it a good stock paint job, then go to the junk yard and find all the stock parts you need plus a few basic mods like a stereo, header, exhaust, suspension and rims, and your car will be returned to its old glory, show us pics when thats done

 

it may be hard to understand what I was saying you should try, make your car something like these
