Hey guys, been lurking on the forums for a while and thought I'd share my project on here too. I will copy and paste it from the other forums for now until we get to the present state of the build.
here it goes:
Hey everyone! My name is Von and I drive a '98 Civic hatchback and it's also my project car. Iv'e owned this car for two years now and since I have put a fair amount of time fixing and working on it now, I thought it's worth sharing and starting a thread on here now.
(btw, please bear with my english/writing as I'm still not that good in speaking in english)
I started working on this car in September 2011 so I'll just do a quick re-cap on it until we get to the present status of the project.
A little background of the cars I owned before I got the hatchback.
We moved here in Canada in 2009 and this was my first car, 1992 DA Integra RS.

My 2nd car, 1996 Civic coupe. I still have the integra when I had this coupe, was planning on keeping the coupe as my project car that's why I swapped in an LS/Vtec engine on it but as soon as I got the engine running I found out that it's blown and would need a rebuild. so I just decided to sell the car cause it needs some bodywork done too and plus I really wanted a hatchback.
and My 3rd car, 1998 Civic hatchback the project car.

Start of the build:
SEPTEMBER 2011
When I first got the car, no engine just a rolling shell.
tried putting on my old rims
OCTOBER 2011
since it's almost winter I parked the car and started buying parts for it to make it driveable again.
first part that I bought, used ViS racing carbon fiber hood
NOVEMBER 2011
a few more parts for the build, most of these parts came off my brothers car in the Philippines
I went to the junkyard to look for a front bumper but got this instead
OEM window visor's
DECEMBER 2011
went to the junkyard again to look for a front bumper and fenders but got this instead lol
complete power window, lock, side mirror conversion with tweeter pods
JANUARY 2012
more parts for the build
and finally bought an engine for the car
FEBRUARY 2012
got more parts
