Introducing my new money pit.
My 1991 Honda Civic DX Hatch ED6.
His name is Timothy.
Picked him up for $200!
Had a blown Head Gasket, was fixed with blue devil by previous owner. Works, so I'll leave it for now.
Needs:
Hood Hinges
Misc. Interior Plastics
New Passenger fender
Corner Lights (ordered)
One headlight bulb
Thermostat (?)
Other than that, this car drives like a dream. 4 speed cable trans, manual steering, and I love it.
Can't go wrong for $200.
the day I got it:



Then, I painted the hood gloss black.
Straightened out the passenger fender somewhat and vacuumed out the interior.




Some more pics of the exterior. Needs some love. The roof might get the gloss black treatment.


Wet-sanded the hood today with 600 grit scotch brite. rubbed off all the gloss, but its ok. I'll just leave it like this for now.


Painted the front bumper matte black
Rusted the fender because I think its cool as shit

Mounted my brother's old oil cooler, it's not hooked up to anything yet. Once again because I think its cool as shit.


And drilled some holes bc I think it looks cool as shit. I think you get the gist of this build now.


Oh, also installed this radio bezel that came in today.
Just need a block-off plate now.


stay tuned
