Re: 1989 civic DX build...finally...
well i spent 3 hrs at the auto yard yesterday with a scissor jack removing 3 wheels off an ef wagon to put on my car so i can get it out of there(not fun!) but the car is rolling finally.... i also put a battery in it to see if there was power and if it would turn over, there is power but i think there's no spark to fire it cuz its wanting to turn over( at least its not a blown motor!)...oh well when i get it home next week, that's when the fun will start! until then im just impatiently waiting....
for another ed sedan saved

Re: 1989 civic DX build...finally...
ok so today was yet another mission...i went to the yard to pick up my front bumper so i could bring it home, paint it and install my mazda 626 lip...but for some reason the hood latch decided to not open so i spent 3 hrs trying to get the hood open..after numerous makeshift things to open it, finally it opened lol now the real fun began: removing the headlights, bumper filler and bumper...WOW THAT WAS HARD hahaha but i got it off and got it home...heres the pix from today....
after getting the hood open and front off:
all the wheels on/ interior:
front bumper before:
done painting bumper/ starting to line up the lip:
applying center piece:
cut the edges:
finished product(gonna sticker the lip so it covers the middle):
