My first honda

Hello My name is Damien and I own a 1995 Honda Civic CX hatch with over 240,000km on org trany and motor. Its my first honda and I am happy to of got it. My other cars are 1983 Mazda RX-7 GSL with custom made body kit and hood scoop and light scoop and my 1999 Pontiac grand am that is for sale. The mods i am going to have 15inch rims, lowering kit, air intake and muffler after winter i am going to do body mods like custom made body kit and custom paint like metel flake red and maybe a B18. Here are some pics of it and some body work.








The 15inch rims

there was a dent on the fender


there where rust holes

this door had a nice dent but was fixed at a body shop but was hit one more time. there was about 1inch of bondo on the door and now what dent?

the other side was worse

Looks like you got some work to do. I'm pretty much in the same position you are. Just that I won't be needing to do all that body work. Keep posting pics of the work you do on it.

Hey I have the wiper motor complete with the arms and stuff, you can have it for $30 works fine.

Nice car, I must say I'm very jealous of people who can do their own body work. I like to DIY stuff, but body work is just not something I can do if I don't want my car to look like a 4 year old painted it. Engine work is easy compared to body work, so once you have that you can pretty much do anything, and do a NICE buildup for really cheap as you just have to pay for supplies and the rest is time, which doesn't count as it's a hobby and you (hopefully) enjoy it.

Just don't go too wild with the body kit
