Almost There!!

[halxi]

Well my car is almost done! I should have her back this time next week.

Currently waiting on:
Spoon upper radiator stays
Lower rubber radiator mount/insert
Radiator hose (after the radiator is fitted in its fixed postion)
Windshield

Then i'll be picking up some cheap steelies/hubcaps with cheap tires on them just to get around on the nice days until spring time.

here are the pics!
(pic description above each pic)


two days ago, awaiting 99-00 VIS cf hood, headlights not fitted correclty yet


As of today (yes thats my bumper on the paint stand next to the car)

The hood is temporarly fitted, it will need more adjusting once the bumper/grille is fitted


:O the new koyo, fullsize bitch.

Fills the gap nicely


Bumper and grille awaiting installation.

Awesome dude, I am a really big Fan of your car, I was in love with 99-00 Si's until the 8th Gen Si Came out... Good job man, Im glad its coming back together well for you.

[A20A3quippedbeast]

99-00 si's=best
looks really nice man keep it goin

[HondaBoy]

looks like its comming along quite nice. looks great man.

[MessyHonda]

i would not mind a h22 under my hood

[shepherd79]

As of today (yes thats my bumper on the paint stand next to the car)

In this picture, your car looks like station wagon. i think it would look HOT as shit if honda made that civic in station wagon.

[AccordB20A]

haha yeah cause you cant see the rear of the car. station wagon version would look sick. this is a pretty cool car mann

[Pico]

Lookin good,
cant wait to see the finished work

[halxi]

thanks for the comments! Its almost done, about another week!

As for you guys in love with the 99-00 si

mines not a 99, or an 00, nor an si lol...

its a 96 ex with a 99-00 front end, and an h22... i eat si's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, even if i dont rev all the way to redline.

Now im torn on my wheel decision, im thinkin im going to go with a 15x6.5 Rota Auto X, royal black, with a polished lip. Wrapped in some 205/50/15 BFG KDW's... mmm mmm good.

[jonrichert]

if nothing else... at least that accident made you change those awful blue headlight housings. your car's coming back together nice man.

Good to see the car is almost back on the road. I bet you can't wait. That CF hood looks good. Was the car originally silver? The reason I ask is because the firewall looks silver to me, but I dunno. One thing that bothers me a little is the tailight and how the inner part has some Orange in it. I think it should be clear all the way across the bottom, but thats just me. But the car looks good, that body style is probably my favorite body style Civic.

[halxi]

my sig image is old, the outer pieces were 99-00 and the inners were 96-98 witht he amber...
I now have custom 96-98 all the way across that i painted transparent red (minus the reverse light), so they're all red.
As for the headlights, i had just put some SI headlights in the day before the accident, i was adjusting my beam/aim pattern and went out to see how it was that night, and thats when i got in the accident.

EDIT:

No, the whole bay is black, and yes, the car used to be silver. That silver section you see there is the body thats under the lower air damn at the base of the windshield. The car was fully jammed and everything when it was painted. So when that lower air dam is on, you cant see it.

[HondaBoy]

wait. i thought they did make a civic wagon. wasnt it called a hatch back?

[speedpenguin]

Mmm... man, your paint is looking incredible! I can't wait to see the pics after you put everything together.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Man I love that colour... Glad to see its coming together for you, should be good.

And IMO I think rota auto x in silver would look good on your car, not black.

[Cheeseburger]

sick bro. cant wait to see her done

If i get fucked in anyway, all problems will be taken care of in a tidy swift manner.
