[size=2]I never did a timeline of the car before so I figure since i have nothing better to do today ill make one. Enjoy!

I got the car about 4 years ago from a kid in Courtland…this is how it looked when i first got it

Six months later, I bought sportline springs and koni yellow adjustable shocks and did an S13 silvia conversion.

The following winter I deer ran across the road and destroyed the headlight,cornerlight, fender,bumper,hood. I don’t have pics of this but most of the people that know me have seen this in person…even ruststange rick was there the night i was pounding out the dents. So lets move foward

Yeah i bought the car from a kid in courtland NY. As for the rims…i liked them at first and they look good but they are pretty damn heavy but in the feature i do want to sell them and go 5 lug and maybe even some gram lites.

as for making the car uglier…yeah it doesn’t look to pretty now cause the paint is faded and the deer did a good number to the front end. but your probably the kind of guy that thinks civics are so hot with spoon wheels and mugen lips right? SO CLEAN
