Default Pics of my New Ride (56k bye bye)

Well as some of you may know I wrecked my old EK hatch a while ago. I recently purchased a 93ex coupe with 200k for a sweet $3500. The engine still runs strong, but is soon to be replaced by bigger better things. I used teh car at school for about 6months with no washing or waxing, when I finally got my new hood I gave the car a wash and some 3step mequiars. Seeing how it was clean and all i decided to post my first pics of it:

Next Upgrades (in order)
KYB AGX Struts
Omniman Coilovers
Fully Built B17A1 swap (already got it, just need to get the conversion stuff)

and now the pics:

That's a really good fit for an aftermarket hood. VIS Racing hood?

EGs are really nice. Nice ride.

Body looks good. Does the r-12 a/c still work? I paid $4500 for my 97 dx coupe with Rota C-8s and 130k on it. Sounds a bit high but most Civics of that year are dented up and rust areas. Nice find and good luck with your project.

the hood is a hood i got off a little shop that sells through ebay, it cost me $200 +shipping, fit right on with a little adjustment of the front hood height. Also came with a latch that clicked in perfect. My only concern is the hood isnt really thick, so i gotta make sure no one sits on it.. Other then that it is sweet, good weave and very very light. As for the ac im not sure, whatever was in there is still in there and workin fine. The reason it cost so much is cause i got it from a dealership (needed a car real bad for school).

Thanks for the comments! Oh We're also gonna shave the moulding and repaint the whole car mirror black (right now it has a maaco paint job)


*Fixed my plates, thanks for lookin out

OK enough of the price bashing, guys. Its his car so let him be. The body is straight and he wont have to pay 3000 to 5000 bucks for repairing rust and body cancer. Some of the eg hatches shown here people paid 400 to 1000 bucks for dont look in as good a shape as this one, and his a/c still works lolol....
