So lady's and gentlemen I present to you my 1978 honda civic
well I wanted a project car that i had no idea about i wanted something fun to drive something old school something that you never really see round any more so i thought to myself "hey why not a civic" and i found one, that one, i almost didnt get it twice as i lost the guys number and then i didnt have the money for it any more but tax rolled around and I bought this sexy beast off ebay over the weekend all the way in ipswich :/ i swear i almost died twice getting there haha, So there is alot of surface rust and a few little rust bubbles here and there nothing to really worry about but it is in the areas that it is in is a pain in the arse so over the next few weeks in my spare time after work im going to be doing ALOT of sanding, priming and filling and lets hope i dont have to weld anything in it ha!
So far the little list i have made to be done before i get a RWC is the following
After I get all that done its time for a RWC to see if the boss man can find anything else that would need to be replaced or fixed up.
so this build is going to take some time but time is all I have after work when its all RWC and registered its time to strip it all back and start painting, im not 100 % sure on what colour but i have been told by the Mrs that I should paint it a deeper blue.
Any and all help on this project will be grately useful, so now I leave you with the damage haha this is all the rust I can see that needs to be fixed :S I just hope that is all there is.
i dont like the looks of that one.
Lucky for me the guy I bought it from had cut and welded all the nasty rust out so thats a bonus for me, I will try and update as much as I can but im doing all this from a iphone so yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh I i dont get much time on the interweb.

So far the little list i have made to be done before i get a RWC is the following
- fix rust
- service engine
- replace all liquid with new flashy stuff
- if needed upgrade bushes and suspension
- new carpet
