Faisal Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi all time to start my build thread here for my honda civic ma8 the plan for this it to get it to look like a mb civic which i will show all once i has been done work in progress are some pics to start off this is how i got the civic this car was taken to my garage for welding work on both rear arches and this is the engine bay here are more pics these are from the crash lolmore when we finally found out how to remove the wing (bare in mind i never worked on cars back then)This is the doner car that my dad had bought this would have been an mot failure it was in bad nickcar had about 133982 miles while mine had 98k when we finally got the bumper of this car and that bumper ^ was put the before we put on the new one so it looked like this pretty muchthat was how it looked once done removed the front end me and my dad then started building up the bad boy civic During then we noticed small faults with the car like brake cylinder leaking cracked center console etc As u can see it not the same colour as the bumper and wing don't match the car one bit but that was the only way of keeping the carthis is how my civic looked inside biit of a mess back theni'd say it toke me and my dad most of my school summer lol as i remember going back to school once it was bulithere a shot of both carslast touches were needed like hub caps boot cover parcel shelf etc car was taken on a test run back then it seem fine just before we had finished my dad noticed a leak from the the rear drums i don't no if u can see well in this pic lol but it was more worse on the day this one is not a really good pic but as u can see the center console was ripped out as mine was cracked and damaged i wanted to have a better one in place and see as the other civic had a better one i replaced them the last touch to finish the car was the rear lights as mine had faded once the car was done i was given in for mot which it failed one need o/s/f wishbone are o/s/f drop link and weirdly my dad had put the rear brake the wee spring on the wrong way ;s but i did not have any pics of it done well i say it's time to move on to the upgrades 1st upgrades were the lights xenon 110 brighter lights that was basically the 1st upgrade till i got in my garage 1st day in the garage lol 1st upgrade i had done japseed induction kit as u can see the rocker cover was a very s**t job done by my dad's palsthe 2nd upgrade i had done was black smoked indicatorthen my 3rd upgrade was white dials plus the carbon look trimthen i gave the bad boy a much needed service with better engine oil no picks bar this one lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
