Alright so i've decided its time to start putting some money into the Toaster. Figured i'd make a build thread. Everybody loves those right?

1996 Civic Hatchback DX "The Brave Little Toaster"
D16y7
5 speed
Tonaka catback exhaust
Ebay intake
Lowered on unknown springs (previous owner)





So far its gotten new headlights and have the new rear view mirrors i still have to put on. Plans for the car are to fix the damage to the fenders and doors and my friend and i are going to plastidip the car, unsure of the color yet. I'm also going to slowly go through and redue the suspension, i want to add good shocks/struts, front and rear sways, lower tie bar and chassis brace, and do a bushing kit. It will be getting some actual rims and tires soon. After all thats said and done I'll be swapping in some kind of engine, not sure what i want yet. Building the car to be a fun daily driver and eventually be kind of quick but yet handle fantastic.

 

I'd get the body work fixed asap

 

X2 Fix the body damage before anything else. Adding bling bling parts wont help

 

Thats the plan which is why i got the new headlights and rearviews. Their just factory pieces. I'm not touching any thing before starting on the body work, which should be this weekend.
