Post subject:  Picked up a hatch

I've been looking for a daily driver for about 2 months now, finally came across a deal that didnt go through the roof. First was a '95 integra, next was a '95 240sx, next was a '94 civic 4 door, then finally I got my hands on this. Its a '96, S title due to theft, but picked it up for very cheap. Its flat black with a silver metallic (cant see unless its cleaned up and the suns on it) but it looks very good. Body lines are great, never been in a wreck, etc etc.

Anywho, this is strictly a daily, so it will probably stay like this for awhile, I will fix the front bumper gaps, get a stereo, maybe some comfy seats, etc. But no crazy mods until Im done with the coupe!

Here's some pics: Image Image Image Image Image Image So figured I'd make a new build thread just in case I do start doing stuff to it :)

C&C welcome!

Good find man, the flat black looks to have been done professionally, eh? (the wipers and window trim look like they could use a little paint too)

Looks like it's perfect for... RAT ROD CIVIC! eh, maybe, maybe not. Good find though.

Thanks guys!
Yeah it was done professionally. I worked on the front end this morning, and I thought the bumper was a certifit bumper because it sagged, but turns out everything on the front end is OE other than the grill. The hood is proped up a little, so i need to adjust it down and get a new grill, then hopefully that will fix all the gaps.

And yeah, I'll be murderin it out! haha. I'll do the trim and wiper arms this coming week. I still cant drive it because I haven't registered it yet, so I can do some DIY's here and there. :thumbup:

Well, got the car registered and insured today, so its officially my daily! The coupe will be torn down and sent in for paint here soon. I ordered some interior goodies for this car to make it more comfy, so I'll update this thread as the parts come in.
