$100 Dollar Civic, Budget Build, 50 Pix
Ok, well some of you might have known about the civic that i got ahold of for 100 bucks & began to build for the g/f a while back.. It got set aside for quite some time coz i had other things to work on. She currenly drives a stratus & i just couldn't handle that, she needed a honda.
A girl was trying to sell me this car for 500 dollars, when she went to leave the driveway, it blew a head gasket & filled the driveway with white smoke! At that point i offered her 100 dollars for the car and she accepted.
This is what it looked like at when we got it.
Little bit of cancer.. yuck
That was rotted
I swear, i'm alergic to diry engine bays! Yuckies!
Little bit of milage, but it's a honda, nice engine refresh & she'll last for ever!
Nastyest interior honda ever had!
Even came with free drink! Now thats a good deal!
Lets begin by fixing the front end damage that happened when the girl put it in the ditch.. yea i tied it to the tree & threw it in reverse a few times
Good bye rust!
Hello ugly patch job.
little bit of filler to smooth this out.
All fixed up.. for the most part.
Remember, this is a budget build, so i'm not spending 200 bux on new black carpet. this costs 16 dollars
Yea, thast my happy ass sprayin away with the car in the background, nice rims huh!
Briana took it upon her self to tear down all the nasty interior & make her own. This is what she came up with. I think she did a hell of a good job for the first time! Oh yea, & A+ for car parts in the kitchen!
Briana & her mother workin on the rear seat.
LOL whining about paint on her hands.. panzy
Changed the Head Gasket & Cleaned up the motor.
Painted the Intake Manifold
Nasty Engine bay, in need of some freshness.
Oh yea, makin her get dirty!
On the flip side after i sprayed it.
After i threw it back together the next day.
Tearin it up
Workin that body
Using what ever high build shit i had layin around
Rear bumper fixing from a prior collision or somethin.. who knows
fixed the rear key hole rust
Nore more hole
Started off with the jams
Oh damn, looks like a different car! I think she'll like it!
Ok, it might need lowerd a bit, looks like it's in 4x4 mode!
The re-done dash, it's now balck & looks a million times better than the tan crap.
I hope you guys enjoyed the pix! feel free to comment, it's been one hell of a transition for that thing.
