Icon6 Check out my first build trend 88 civic sedan

So this is my first build tread im pretty new to ht but i tought id share what ive done to my 88 Ef Sedan... I got this car for 300 bucks so it wasnt that bad of a deal.... i didnt get the car like this it didnt have rims or wasnt lowered... i had the rims and suspension already so i threw those on as soon as i got it....


found some old school lude fog lights so i put them on it didnt come out that bad, the only thing is that they dont work for some reasons every time i hook them up my wires start to get really hot and start melting the plastic on the wiring i dont know what the problem is... so im actually going to throw on the 91 front bumper on tomarrow...

Just a side view.

i did a head light tuck on it the other day because i was bored and i didnt have any money so i just decided to do it.... and had to wire my battery in my trunk came out pretty clean for my first time ... going to wait till my motor is out and paint the bay



i had some extra honda emblems so i put them on my sub box lol....

I put rear disk brakes on a about a week ago... i got them at a local you pull off a DA Integra....

So today i went down to the local you pull today and found some side markers and put them on today.... came out pretty nice...




The Goodies Ive been collecting for my B18b1 that im going to put in im just waiting on one mount the cable to hydro conversion but i need to get some money together... i would do the cable tranny but my buddy hasnt called me back on it he was going to trade me my hydro tranny for his cable so i might just say screw it and buy the cable to hydro conversion...

I will keep up dating this whenever i do some more work to my car...

You spell it "thread," not "trend" or "tread"....

Now that we have that outta the way, car is cool. Needs some tlc, some smaller wheels, and oem sidemarkers if you want to keep them. Other than that it's a great start. Keep it up and don't rice it out, especially with that fart can in the trunk you posted.
