Default EM1 B20 Si Replica Build

So i recently picked up a 99 Civic EX. The car itself only has 97xxx miles on it and i got it for a steal. I have always loved these cars so it will be rebuilt and boosted with tasteful mods along the way. It has a B20z2 in it which is going to be rebuilt for boost or maybe N/A havent decided yet..

Enjoy

How it started.






The day i picked it up this is it sitting in my drive.


Then some idiot turned in front of me when i got off early form work to go work on it.




Front bumper off, radiator support completely broke.

Frame was bent as well.



So while i waited for the insurance adjusters to figure all the bullshit out i stripped the interior and detailed it.


There was so much dog hair the carpet wasn't even black it was white like the dogs fur.







Then the trunk needed sealed.





After a little sealer.



Sent her off the paint and got her back a week later.

Fresh from the body shop





And how she sits now

I think that person hitting you was a god send lol. The front end looks 10000000 times better.


Good start to a build.

You should go back to that body shop and have them remove all of the paint from the lower grill section of the front bumper, as they come black from factory.

Car looks petty good now though

At least the lip wasnt ruined.


x2 on getting the lower grill and fog light areas painted black again. Would look way better, and less noticable that the fron end was resprayed.
