This project has been under way for a while. Here's some pics of my car.

 

Looking VERY GOOD.

Keep us updated on what you do to the vehicle.

What have you done so far?

 

Nice...looks good. Paint bobo in the chin of the car. You need the 5sp for the back...

 

im in love i want one so bad looks good

 

Looks very good, man. I hope to have mine out of the shop in 2 weeks.

 

Solid car duder. Is it all original or did you find NOS parts?

 

nice and clean. possibly picking up a 1974 cvcc with hondamatic here real soon

 

It's a real mix of NOS and original pieces. Most of the lights are NOS. Everything else has been refinished. Stll searching for parts that need updating like the hatch lock. It's been a fun project and the search is on for more parts.

 

I have been following your car on the most nostalgic car forum for a while. The car has gone through a lot of work. I used your wooden steering wheel restoration guide, it turned out great.

 

Glad to be of help. My car wouldn't have gotten this far without a lot of help from various forum members. Finally put my genuine Honda Civic floor mats in. Getting ready for the Carlisle Import Show this weekend.

 

dddrrrooooolllll i love it, if i wasnt throwing money at my civic i would have one of these, nice

 

Bob, your car looks great, man. Mine wants to be yours when it grows up, dude. Very nice. Your carpeting? Did you get it from one of those Ebay shops? That's one of my next moves and I was wondering if that's where yours is from and how easy it was to install.

 

Have to admit, that is pretty nifty.

 

Its amazing

 

wow... lookin great. interested in getting one now

 

I got the carpet from seller Aardvark on Ebay. Just need to take your time trimming it out.

 

Very Nice!!!

I like how you kept it OG, I feel that is the way it should be.

Good job on the interior too. Good carpet info also!

PS: get rid of that blue wire...it is bothering me

 

Floormats.
Maan. That wheel thoughh. Kills.

 

LOL, those blue wires are waiting for me to pull out the dash a little bit to make room for installing a period original Panasonic am/fm where the am now sits. The other end of the blue wires will be hooked up to refinished overhead speakers.

 

outstanding!

 

Blown a headgasket. Decisions to make - rebuild my motor and keep the car all original - swap in an Oscar Jackson 1979 1.8L with dual Weber side drafts (pic below)- swap in a D-series motor. Not sure which way to go yet.

 

My vote is keep it OG!!!!

Pleezzzzzeeeeee.

Are you thinking about just the top end or a complete rebuild? Shoot just throw a new gasket on her and see.

The 1.8 does look nice though.

 

Got to do a leak down test and figure out what else may be going on. I did have some smoke on start up and acceleration, although it did have good bottom end power prior to the headgasket leak. Rings may be a culprit. If so, then it looks like a pretty complete overhaul is in store. I'd love to get by with just a top end - we'll see.

 

looks great. good luck on the motor diagnosis..

lofe the mud flaps..

 

Considering all the other alternations you been doing, I would just do it. At least you will still be keeping it in the same era.
