Well Id just like to introduce myself, My name Is Charles, I am a do it my self'er
I have always loved 4 door 5th gens since my good friend Draper wheeler bought one,
This is his old eg8
To make a long story short, He got into an accident with it and put it in the ditch, and screwed the FMIC, So after a new bumper and some flat black spray bombs she was back on the road, until 2 days later it threw a rod on cylinder 2 and 4,, He had bought another d15 for 20 dollars, which had perfect compression, but a bad headgasket, so we replaced the headgasket, and away we went, The car ran like a top,.. Until Draper set his eye on a 91 skyline GTR.. Which He eventually bought..Then the civic went up for sale, He only wanted 1000 for it, rims and all ,, brand new centerforce clutch and struts, I only had 600 at the time, but he didnt want to wait for me to get the money, So the car was sold to a douche bag, who parted it out, and junked the car, So for some strange reason, luck came my way, and A buddy of mine, Offered to trade me his 92 sedan for my 93 integra parts car, which I took for a trade, this is where it all started...
My plan----
Satin black paint
Lowered 3 inches, on coilovers
B20b swap
Ferio rear brake light,
Ferio arm rest
Pink Drag DR 16s
Amber corners,
2/1'4 catback exhaust
Coupe front end swap---Scrapped. to damn hard
Rear disk brake swap
--What has been done so far-
Quarters welded in
Failed Drain rail shaving,, which is gone now, dumb ass decision on my part-
Need rocker work.
2 brand new Oem Fenders
Heres how she started
RECENT PICS,,, Its finally been half decent weather,, lots of sanding done,, threw flat black paint on it to see if all my body work was solid and had no ripples, turned out good, didnt prime one spot, and the black soaked into the fill, gota re prime the 1 spot,
Soon about to build an inclosure so I can actually do some work.
Sorry for the pics, It was rainy. and I wanted something to show progress, My friend has all the pictures of us cutting out the old quarters and welding new ones in, soon will be coming.
I absolutely would love suggestions tips tricks whatever you got, and critisism too, I need to know what the hell Im doing,,, I think this is turning out pretty wicked for a some back yard work?
Anyways, Comments are appreciated
