So I bought my 94 cx hatch during winter and when it got to my house it was a bit dirty


A good washing and it looked pretty nice, especially in the pictures it looked a lot cleaner than in person


There are dings, dents, chips, fading.... normal for an 11 year old car. Also there are a handful of surface rust spots, so I decided to have my uncle just do a repaint.

So my dad and I start taking it apart in my garage:















Then we took the car over to my uncles shop yesterday, and today we went over there to do a bit of work on it.
Now i've never done ANY body work or anything whatsoever, so I was able to learn how to DA a bit, and worked on the roof, back bumper, and the hatch. My dad took a few things from the engine bay so we can spray around the edges and clean it up in there a tad.







Before doing anything to the rear


Other than the DA, my uncle cut a peice of metal from my stock hood and filled in the holes where a Honda symbol would normally go above the lisence plate (i didn't have one... so i figured let's take out the wholes and clean it up).


Some simple flat black spray paint on the back of the seats and some spackle paint in the spare tire well really cleaned up the trunk. We did these a week or so ago.








That's all for now. I don't really know how to do much, so I might miss some of the steps since my uncle will be doing it, but I'll get more pics when I can.

Thanks for looking and check back for updates

i'm just doing a repaint of the milano. The door jams are pretty much mint, plus it'll be cheaper and easier

Nice... I kept looking at your muffler because at the first pic I thought it was an n1 or n1 style then when I saw the next pics it said magnaflow and had a thicker tip compare to the one shown in the first pic

the first shot it had a tsudo muffler on, which i'll prob try and sell on ebay, haha
it was way too big for my taste, angled horribly, too low, too loud, and sounded horrible.... the magnaflow is smaller, straight, quieter, and a bit better sounding IMO.
