Interior in the works... Pics

[chzdhippt]

Looks kinda rough now, but should be shaping up pretty fast..

And yes, that is a huge ass crack in my windshield from an incident last week.

Note the blueish green 91 civic helms manual behind the center console.. This is a must for any DIYer.

Probably the most useful book I have ever come across. I pulled the entire engine in 1.75 hours because of that book.

Its actually primered and painted. It is very glossy now, yet retains the original texture.

Looks really good man! I would like to see a pic of the climate controls, noticed you painted the faceplate on it...

I actually put the face back on too soon and scratched the paint, so I am in the process of painting up a second set of climate controls to put on there.

I disassembled the climate control by removing all the knobs and the heater dial, as well as the AC switch cover (wait till you see this, I tore down the AC switch and rebuilt it for my neon switch, so its lit up and says NEON instead of A/C, but lights in RED instead of blue.) then removed the panel. It comes off without the controls themselves. I removed the plastic indicator panels and scraped off the extra "glue" (sticky black shit). Primed them, then painted them, then put it all back together.

I will take a picture tonight when I get home of the one thats on there now and what the part that I took off looks like.

I also added an Oh-Shit Bar to the driver side A-Pillar, a feature which most cars dont have.. Conveniently, Honda mounted all the proper threaded holes in the A-Pillar so all you have to do is drill holes in the A-Piller trim in the spots they even conveniently measured and marked, then attach an OSB from another car to the hole.

how'd you go about painting the parts? Me and my friend are painting up his 89 civic. Same car. Just wondering the best way to do it, and what to use.

Well, there is stuff made just for vinyl, called SEM sand free and SEM vinyl dye. I didnt use these.

I sanded all the parts with 80grit. Washed with soapy water, primed with rustoleum grey primer, sanded with 300 grit, washed with soapy water, then painted my colors on. I havent had one piece scratch or chip and its been painted for a couple months.
