Default Washed The Civic **New Pics**












I know the rust kills it, it'll be fixed this summer.
Rims are getting sand blasted this weekend along with some detailing.

Dented, rusting, almost-stock 20 year old Civic, with horrible over- and under-exposed photos of it standing in a field of grass? Sweet..
Just because you can show your car to Honda-tech doesn't mean you should.

I work with what I have, its a project. And there are no varying exposure times at all as I have a cheap point and shoot camera. I use the Lomo Effect because I like what it does. If you dont like looking at my car then dont, and I have the freedom to show my car to whoever I want.

I dont expect everyone or anyone for that matter to like my car, and I'm not pissed or cursing people out for not liking it am I? I put them up because I felt like it, I was bored and I take pride in my work, just not all of it has been done yet.

Will do, if I can get the cash together for storage ill probably store it over the winter and get the rust fixed prior to when the snow falls.

Just wanted to try the effect on these shots, but I guess they didnt come out very well. From now on Ill keep the photos original or just adjust contrast and brightness instead of adding gradients and color curves.

Why, because its not "JDM"?
I may not have cf lips or rotas but the stuff that mattered to me at first was the performance, so that's what I went looking for first, exterior glam can wait in my book. I love how people just assume that if it looks stock exterior wise, that there's nothing done under the hood.

Then you should have showed us the motor and parts if there was something interesting to look at. I understand you probably take pride in your car, and I take pride in mine even though it's nothing special and has a beat up body. But I don't make a thread on H-T to show it because I know it's only 'cool' to me, not anybody else looking at pictures of it.
