Well, here's the story. My first car was an automatic Adriatic Blue Pearl 98 Integra LS hatch, a grad gift from my parents in June of last year. I loved that car and it was hella fun to drive and was in great condition.
I didnt wanna do anything to it, but after a while, like the beginning of this year, I decided that I wanted to start doing things to it little by little. But before I could do anything...I had a major fail. I rear ended a work van in rush hour traffic on my way to school. The van was unscratched mostly, but my Teg was trashed in the front.
Insurance totaled it, and a few weeks later, I picked up my first ever Civic for 2500. It's an Automatic, but I really wanna do a engine and tranny swap in the future. This was what it looked like the first few days I had it.
It came with no radio, it obviously got jacked because the dash bezel was super destroyed around it, and it also had one of those cheapo ugly ass euro corners on the passenger side, while the drivers side was stock. So i made a trip to Pick N Pull and got me some new dash trim (which was a bitch to pull off AND install WITHOUT TAKING OFF THE DASH -___-) and a stock passenger corner light. Anyway fast forward to now and he'res how she looks.
