- Sun May 20, 2012 10:17 pm #305577 so heres some info on my egg (before and after pictures as well)

my car is a 93 civic cx hatch that was in ruff shape when i bought it and over the last 3 years it has undergone quite a transformation. i bought the car for $600 about 2 hours before the previous owner planned to take it to the scrap yard so essentially i saved the cars life. heres how it looked the day i brought it home
