I must admit, it's a few dozen times more stylish than what I've got that cost 13x as much. I couldn't do that for $100 no matter how much time I spend on it.

Hey tony, is this the stuff you used on the dash/interior? If not, what specific brand did you use? Still holding up?

no, i used the dupli-color stuff that was specivicly for interior trim. If you clean the surface properly it will hold up great. You want to make sure you pull out all the armorall or other interior conditioners that may have been applied over the years so that it doesn't try and come through once it's sittin out in the hot sun. Concider tossing a light misted coat of clear over it when done for added protection.

Best of luck to ya.

hey man, this is somewhat of an older thread now, but i'm doing pretty good. A lot has gone on around here, there as been a lot that is changed, my most recent build and disasters are noted in another thread in this forum. Feel free to check that out.

All in all, i've learned a lot and spend way to much time working on hondas after hours, i guess it pays for my toys but i really need to cut back & make some time for other things in life.

You really did a top notch job breathing life into a otherwise junkyard destined vehicle.

You could do this for a living you.

Buy Junkyard civics for $500 and flip them for $3000.00 before parts costs..

By the looks of it this took you what 1 week?

Just wanted to say this thread made me sign up to post this.
I just got a Free 92 hatch and need to do something along these lines...
