Our Honda Civic GL J plate 1991, we bought this from Ryan in Plymouth with spare engine, gearbox, 1.6 hump bonnet etc. Ryan had done alot of work, being a Honda tech in Plymouth. I wish to teach my son Tristan aged 13, all I know about mechanics, as he wishes to go to Thresham Motorsport college at Silverstone in 4 yrs time, and this car will be perfect for him to learn.
Our family car is a 2007 FN2 Type R in Bronze, will get some pics of cars together soon.

Ready for strip down
Front arch waxoiled today
