project rejuvenation

Post by vtec venom »

Every time I see a thread on this car a tear comes to my eye, as it seams everyone knows about this car :not top: I thought i'd make a build/restoration thread, so you all can see her come back to life.

So I got this car quite cheap (I've seen all the bad history on it) and thought it would be a good base to start as i've wanted a vt for a long time (previous eg vti owner).
I plan on fully restoring it back to looking like a proper looking vt (with a few toys of course)

So this is what it looks like (these pics where from previous owner/s)

TBH I don't know what's worse the quad exhaust or the ep3 spoiler!!

So I will update this as I go along, I have already started just forgot to take pics. :(

Good to see you starting a restoration build this car needs tidying up and you have yourself a nice little 4G civic

As soon as you replace the spoiler with a standard one and change the exhaust it will start to look much better

Hope to see exciting things mate :top:

Brave, very brave...

whats the erm *cough mileage on this again.. theres plenty of history about this dodgy car if you look about, pretty sure its been in a font ender (gl front end) and been clocked a couple of times, hence why I said your brave taking on such a project but.. im interested to see what you do with it.

keep us all posted.

Good on you, look forward to it.

If you bring it back up to scratch and turn it into a decent genuine car again, then you can forget it's past and enjoy it how you like it.

And those exhausts :shock:
