Little update.

The car is going for some new arches in the next few weeks. Hopefully get it re sprayed at the same time!

Update.

I stripped the interior of my car out to see what was lurking in those arches.

Took me AGES to figure out how to get the seats out but got there in the end with a little help !

So the drivers side isnt too bad i guess.






Heres a random shot of the back lol

Under my spare wheel i did find a massive dead wasp.

Little shot of the rust around the window



Its about the same on the other side

This is how the passenger side looks from the outside. Its gonna worse and worse over the few months its been stood about.





And the inside...



Some body has welded a patch in previously. I am unsure how they have managed it but i think they have welded it from the inside. All those little sticks you can see sticking up are the stick welds. They havent even been cut down or anything and there everywere. That full patch needs cutting out

Down in the sill region some one has stuffed it full of newspaper!






Lookily next week its off for some surgery!

Some bad news. My cd player has been stolen out of the car. This is partially my fault as i left the door un locked BUT, the car was parked at the very end of my girlfriends drive(3 car length drive) and the car is directly outside the lounge window. So i would of expected nothing to happen to it as its parked infront of a car at all times meaning you cant see it from the road and no were else.

This isnt the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing is that they cut all the wire instead of just unplugging it. So all that work my dad put in has gone to waste. For some reason theres only four wires left after they cut the plugs off ?

Its really put a downer on my hopes for the project and made me think more about a lupo even though in my heart i will always want the civic. I will see what its like when it comes back from getting the body work done before making my decision.
