That's amazing work you did ! I think you guys are so lucky to
Have such cars. In a climate such as the one in my country, cars
Depress verry quickly and become uber rare or uber tough to work on!!!
Good luck with the rest of the build, keep us posted

UPDATE!
Well i have to say this is my proudest moment in this build, i know i can do better but with the time and the shitty paint gun i have this is pretty damn goodso lets begin.
after setting up the paint booth again i got started in sanding down the inside of the doors as they had a few runs and a little bit of water on it
then it started sanding down the bumper parts
then it came to primeringand it came out quiet right
then i grabbed the other stuff and got that done too
So then it was time to wait .... and wait, then it was the next day and time to sand shit back and get some ****ing awesome colour going.
It started to rain half way into painting and the doors and hatch got wet some how and i'll have to sand them back but i am happy with the bumber parts
the photos look cloudy cause i had just finished painting so when it dried up i took some better photos of the bumper parts
after closer inspection this one got wet as well but as i wont be looking at it i dont care ...... for now haha
so this is me upto datei wont have any real updates for a while as its around that time of the year where everyone company wants money but i will keep you posted with any little things i do.
thanks again for all the comments guys.

well guys ive been a little bit busy with other stuff other then the civic but i havnt finished working on itbig stuff happening at the end of may so let me show you what ive been up too the last few weeks.
So i thought now that everything is in primer now would be a good time to clean out some of the car and put stuff back on and take some off
starting to look like a car now!
now for the wheel well ...... looks like someone had ran over something and then tried to beat it back to normal but in doing so they ripped some of the metal and even folded it over it self so it had to be cut out ready for a new patch to be welded in
herpderpcamera
i'll be getting her welded up soon
but then it was time to start my bonnet .....
rusty as all balls but with the help of my friends this is where it is right nowgot to buy a new wire wheel
need the wire wheel for spots like this
BUT NOW FOR SOME JIZZ WORTHY STUFF!
all this i grabbed from the parts car i had a while ago and man does it look sad as
BUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
I took all this to work and got it sandblasted, degasses, pretreated and painted and DAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNNNNN its sexy
so this is where i am right nowmore work and photos coming at the end of the month
BIG update

I don't know if I've posted in here or not yet... (I come on and have a snoop all the time though) and I want to say this is awesome. I love what you are doing to this car, its stuff like this that motivates me to keep going on my own projects.. We all need inspiration of some form
Love it anyway and I can't wait to see it when its done.
