Hey guys. Hope you remember me! Ever since sellin my hatch and gettin an ej8, I haven't been around much. Well, yesterday I got a call from a good friend of mine who was getting rid of his '91 civic lx sedan and wanted to know if i would take it for free. I said heck yeah and now I'm back in swing planning on what to do to it. But the car does come with it's flaws. There is some rust in the back (usual) and the clearcoat is very, slightly peeling. Also, it's a stock d15b2 auto with 198k on it. Now I know it's too high in miles but I figured something. I'm actually gonna plan on fixing it up to run as far as it can go till it dies. I'm looking at this project to be a daily commuter than performance. It'll allow me to rest my '99 while I drive this. Besides, I'll have fun with it. I'm already thinking crx dash swap. Hehe! I'll post pics soon, it'll do the car justice I hope!

It's here. Went to pick it up and it wouldn't start. Turned out all it needed was some new gas so after $10 bucks later, she was running. Drove her to my friends house for about 5 miles (mind the expired license plates) and she drove really good, the engine that is. There is something up with the axles or wheels or possibly suspension cause it's really bumpy. Also the gauge cluster has clacking, sparking noise coming from, possibly just needs to be lubed. Tried out everything and everything works except for the driver side power lock switch. Amazingly, the a/c was cold. If you look at the pics, and it's hard to see the small things, the car is loadd with dents and some good rust spots. It also has the dreadful yellow headlight disease and needs some new painted hubcaps. Also look at the rear.......notice anything odd?........There is no reverse lights. I don't know how the guy got away with it but we couldn't find any hidden ones. Somehow it passed inspection like that since he's owned it. The driver seat is not ripped at all. Shocked the hell out of me. Well, it's a project and i'm back in the 4th gen swing. Feels good to be back!

Well, took the yellow headlight off today and plan on cleaning it up. Gonna try the oven trick to pulling it apart. What kind of paint should I use inside just for an idea or should I not paint? Want to get it back to the original color as the other one.

Looked at the basic things and alot needs to be replaced. luckily they're the cheap things. Spark plugs are old autolites, dizzy cap is white as snow inside, rotor is gettin burnt on the tip, dizzy is leaking oil at the bottom, air filter is dirty, etc. At least now I have a very small idea of what to start on. Once the engine is purring again, the suspension needs work cause the car bounced all over the place when I drove her home yesterday.

hey bro this might sound retarded but id prolly run about a 1inch of trasnlucent amber on the bottom of the headlight lense if u plan to take it off..kinda like a evo look..i think it would be super badass but its up to u!
