So m about to share the work which is being done by me on my Right hand drive 01 Civic ES Sedan.

When i bought her last year it was running a D17A VTEC (which was later on swapped), EPS, it has a sunroof and auto tranny and the body condition was really ugly. As it was my first ever restoration project, it taught me a lot and m pretty much happy with the outcome and now lets see what do you people say!

There are basically three stages of this built and are as follows

FIRST STAGE (Getting back to life)
-All suspension bushing redone
-New Hood
-Fenders

-Repaint-job

SECOND STAGE (RS Conversion)

-RS Side Skirts
-RS Cluster
-OEM Stanley Multi-tint fogs

Now let the pictures talk

 

This is how she looked like a year back when i got my hands on her. Front lights were faded, rear ones were broken and repaired, bumpers full of scratches and fitted using metal wires, new paint-job was needed, in short the exterior required some real attention.

 

There were check lights all around, ABS lights were on, ECU was on limp mode cuz of the check lights. Suspension bushes needed replacements. All the work was being done in the first week and then it was moved to the body shop for the paint job process. I chose DuPont paint using OEM paint code and it took around one month for the whole paint job process.

 

The new paint-job!

 

So this was the very first outcome after the stage one completion, total oem looks!
