the Dream, 93 civic hatch

[str33tpr3p]

Plans are a b18 in time , dont have loads of money so updates wont be everyday with me installing some new mugen lip.

Bone stock when i picked up for 2500 except a/m alpine speakers .

Both of the quarter panels have been infected with rust so have to replace them ,

I decided to start with the body then move on to suspension so here is the prep for the body work .

Will start body work after christmas .
What do you guys think , thanks

Looking like a good clean project. Keep us posted with progress. I always liked that color. Go with an old school theme, that would look best imo.

[str33tpr3p]

Nice man, good luck with the project. I think the engine bay looked better with the heatshield though...

 

[Aaron.]

looks good man

 

[str33tpr3p]

Yeah im pretty sure im going to install it again or try and get some new headers . But thanks alot

 

[Robin...]

Keep it up...

 

[pmac193]

Looks pretty good, slap the heat shield back on there. I wouldn't bother with a header on a d series.

 

[Hecz]

[str33tpr3p]

Finished drilling out all the spot welds to remove the panel ,

Removed entire panel , unfortunatly rust was alot worse than i had hoped or expected.

Going to have to rebuild quite a few little patchs and sections due to rust . ( sorry about bad picture )

Lol

Been a while since i last updated it been very busy, but i am back and getting paid again so parts should be on their way soon . I am almost done repairing the quarter panels i had to rebuilding alot of the wheel well so it took longer than i expected i should be welding on the quarter panel it self on tomorrow or the day after i will have more pictures tomorrow.

Got a brand new Momo millennium steering wheel from a friend for 100 $ Good deal i thought ( old model )

 

[str33tpr3p]

Just took some pictures of wheel well , the grey stuff is all metal filler i put it over where i welded just in case there was any little holes this way it will prevent any moisture from getting into the welds.

Lucky enough for me instead of having to butt weld it my friend let me borrow his crimper ,

And finally the engine bay, the intake is out if anyone is interested in it PM me i am willing to sell cheap .

[Robin...]

[str33tpr3p]
