I'm bored so I thought I'd post some pics of my cousin's civic
This is what it looked like the day we brought it home

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid42/p54ebb6baeaeabb28043fc4b1b361c75f/fcef7fe1.jpg
started playing with the engine bay a bit
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid43/pe5bf73233f18c4afe5050657a414f1b0/fce4e959.jpg
then came straightening the frame, wheels, new bumper, and fenders

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid48/p211e702698db066b73a83fe6702d7f60/fcbc9677.jpg
while the men are doing the body work, we have the women working on the interior

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid48/peb21990e8a491672a26e0735207fefd4/fcbc966c.jpg
new hood

interior in

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid50/p0bd7547170821588851a693ceb66093b/fcaab64a.jpg
then my cousin decided to change things around and go yellow instead of blue with the engine, here's a pic with the new core support, bumper, and fenders
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid65/pecf7b9282fd565dad9c3cebf0feeb726/fbefe2ea.jpg
then came the squirels that chew threw the hood :kickermad: :D

the holes will be filled with clear lexan glass (for show) and it won't look so crappy when we're done

Got the civic all straightened out and driveable
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/p9c7d6334780e4b641e1f1026e7014fe3/fb8763fe.jpg
needs a new trunk

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid73/p05d7fdec073e7769e0ac51d890742315/fb78d4ea.jpg
got a new trunk lid, shaved the side moldings, molded the door handles, and primered it

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid77/pc6909dcd88e66ce5d5eed985b783bcc4/fb303055.jpg
ended up needing a new tranny so we pulled the hole motor
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid78/p06125e827e4c8c7a67a4d8fb98236cee/fb293ec3.jpg
might as well paint some shit while it's out
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid78/pcf7380c0429b64cc2010cbbe9faa827b/fb293eea.jpg
drop it back in
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid78/p2a205f6d8c882bba2962e7b2d3e95ab1/fb2932c1.jpg
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid78/p0f27fc86ee40a758ddb3ff5025f890e0/fb293293.jpg
and this is how it sits now, waiting for a kit which will put it in the shop for some headlight or taillight tricks and then paint
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid87/p914555ed4a4068dab73e6be06b94cf84/fa9ba7a5.jpg
and currently working on a screen with a PS2
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid89/pb1bf72db234ed4d3621bb38048e5cbaa/fa8b48bd.jpg
Should be getting the shop treatment pretty soon, I'll be sure to post up the after pics.

You posted that car a long time ago... That hood is butt-ugly, but hot damn that's a hell of a fix up job. I like the blue/yellow Spoon-esque paint scheme under the hood :)

NO WAY in hell would I take that thing 115 mph in that state...it looks likes it gonna fall apart, and it doesnt even look like it has any safety reinforcements. Of course youre not all the way done with it, and it looks like so far youve done a helluva fix up job, so keep up the good work :bigthumb:

damn thats a hardcore project. are you spending way more than expected? cause those 92-95 civics dont cost much. but this sounds like its just for fun which is cool

lol, yeah, the car is completely safe to drive, everything is back together, it's a complete car now.
Paid I think $200-300 for it, don't remember exactly how much. I think my cousin has just under $1,000 into it (excluding nitrous kit)
