Default New addition to the civic family!

Hey guys, got a new Civic for my Wife and I to drive around while the Si is either parked for the snow or undergoing major heart surgery (as is the current situation)

Its a 1991 Civic DX hatchback equipped with a 5 speed transmission.
192,XXX kms (119,XXX mi.) on the odometer. so its just a baby, and looks its age.

Have a peek.










The obligatory angled shot


And now for the bad news...






Its going to stay fairly stock, as i have an 89 si hatch that i'm assembling an ls/vtec for currently

yup original paint, im the 3rd owner of the car since being bought new.

It received the protection package offerend from Honda including an undercoating spray and a rust proofing that i can still see inside the doors and on the door panels. I've had the chance to put it up on a lift at work and its even nicer underneath.

Needs a drop, rims and a lip!

No seriously, nice addition. Good to see the hatches fall into the hand of people who want to clean them up and put them back together. I especially like the color - unusual for an ef hatch

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!

And you're right, the first thing I told myself was that it needs a lip , and to lose the stickers. Then I started to worry that once the stickers came off you would see their outline in sun fade, so what ill do is power power polish the car as it sits, then remove the stickers oh so carefully with 120 psi of water

The paint code is B-52P, and its known as "Wein Blue Pearl Clearcoat" it was a colour only available on the 1991's
