<p>Hi names Matt about a year and a half ago I picked up my long time coming 91 civic hatchback dx I only wanted red. Here she is the day I picked her but meet petunia. <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps0bc43f95.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps0bc43f95.jpg" /></a> Picked her up from the original owner had 207k on it no rust very minor paint fade on passenger quarter. Very lucky on having no rust for being in st.louis. I've done some little things here and there Will post pics from day 1 to know. <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsf5e847c4.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsf5e847c4.jpg" /></a> That was one of the issues with the interior. And second day of owning it called a upholstery shop and have them fix it. <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsde7b00c2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsde7b00c2.jpg" /></a> Then the very next day had the windshield replaced. Had a crack in it. The first week I had the car the only places I was able to drive it was too shops to have stuff done to it. Lol I couldn't wait until i finally was able to just take her out and enjoy the car on a nice back road. Got lucky and the old man kept the original radio for it so ofcourse had to switch it out. Who doesn't love an old tape player lol. <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps5ff76d95.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps5ff76d95.jpg" /></a><a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsea726258.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsea726258.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpskyymvx8z.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpskyymvx8z.jpg" /></a> Picked up a si lip looked really good and oem rear speaker pods for 50$ what a steal that day was. <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsowelfz08.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsowelfz08.jpg" /></a> Engine bay was pretty gross did some cleaning on my day off in the storage unit. <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/Matt_Simonson/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsmow8zblo.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q760/Matt_Simonson/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsmow8zblo.jpg" /></a></p>

Beautiful car! Don't hack it up. If you do anything, keep it modest.

Thanks for the comments it's a fun and one of the cleanest I've seen. But here's some more stuff I've done. old molding was cracked and ugly looking.

Brand new ones on both sides really cleaned up the top part of the door.

Man, that offroad lift looks nice!

That's a joke. The stock ride height really is up there though.

Nice to see another Rio Red hatch.

...and a clean one, at that!

It appears that she's in good hands now.

Thanks the car is in great hands and it will be for a very long time. So I was on the hunt for rear speaker pods and I really wanted a clean set of oem but couldn't find any so found these for 50$ and that front lip in a earlier post for a extra 5 so pretty good deal
