My cousin's car, what do you think?

[kicker1_solo]

I'm bored so I thought I'd post some pics of my cousin's civic
This is what it looked like the day we brought it home






started playing with the engine bay a bit

then came straightening the frame, wheels, new bumper, and fenders


while the men are doing the body work, we have the women working on the interior



new hood

interior in



then my cousin decided to change things around and go yellow instead of blue with the engine, here's a pic with the new core support, bumper, and fenders

then came the squirels that chew threw the hood :kickermad:


the holes will be filled with clear lexan glass (for show) and it won't look so crappy when we're done




Got the civic all straightened out and driveable

needs a new trunk

115 mph pic

got a new trunk lid, shaved the side moldings, molded the door handles, and primered it





ended up needing a new tranny so we pulled the hole motor

might as well paint some shit while it's out

drop it back in


and this is how it sits now, waiting for a kit which will put it in the shop for some headlight or taillight tricks and then paint

and currently working on a screen with a PS2

Should be getting the shop treatment pretty soon, I'll be sure to post up the after pics.

You posted that car a long time ago... That hood is butt-ugly, but hot damn that's a hell of a fix up job. I like the blue/yellow Spoon-esque paint scheme under the hood

how much did he pay for that crashed civic?

lol is it even safe to drive even now?

NO WAY in hell would I take that thing 115 mph in that state...it looks likes it gonna fall apart, and it doesnt even look like it has any safety reinforcements. Of course youre not all the way done with it, and it looks like so far youve done a helluva fix up job, so keep up the good work

damn thats a hardcore project. are you spending way more than expected? cause those 92-95 civics dont cost much. but this sounds like its just for fun which is cool

[kicker1_solo]

lol, yeah, the car is completely safe to drive, everything is back together, it's a complete car now.
Paid I think $200-300 for it, don't remember exactly how much. I think my cousin has just under $1,000 into it (excluding nitrous kit)

the word salvage title.....just makes me go ehh and stay away from those cars


but thats pretty sweet what he did...looks very cool


fixed things can never be better than new things
