Yes thats right I went Honda, after the sale of the Jeep I was looking for a daily driver weekend warrior. Thats when I came across this 95 Honda Civic Coupe. The car is rough but its at 1st Try Engineering currently awaiting paint and some body work. But the B18B is strong running and the car is RUST FREE!!!

That would be correct the reason being, there are alot of little dings and dents that gloss black would show. Not to mention i like the rat rod look even though its band wagon.

Current plans are battery relocation to the trunk with one cutoff in the dash, and one outside.

four point roll bar with seat belt bar

putting the racing seat from the z in the car

run all the wires for the xm radio and the stero

ive purchased new headlights, taillights, and front bumpercover

I still need a windshield but that one of the last things i gotta do
