Spent a bit more time stripping the rest of the rear out of the Civic.
Amazing how clean it all is under there - just needed a wipe with some polish. The rear strut brace is in now too. Cold air intake and exhaust wrap also completed.

Just need a couple of race seats and harnesses, then ready for a bit of engine work......

Pictures here if you'd like to see:

I bet she's a lot Noisier now!

Eh? Pardon?

Yeah, it is noisier - but that's no bad thing!

I only drive it for fun and on track days, so the noise just adds to it.

Lighter is faster !

It feels great now.

Looks awesome buddy

Gat that sound deadening out though and while your at it, doorcards and dash!

Hei, Jeffro

Will be thinking about the dash and door cards now.

Just not sure if I am ready to lose the everything inside, but then again "in for a penny...."

Little update on this,

Inside is now completely stripped - even the passenger seat and headlining have gone.

Still stuck (literally) with the sound deadening on the floor though.

The favourites seem to be heat it and peel it or freeze it and crack it off. I don't have a burner or dry ice...Anyone fancy helping me to get rid of it all?

Big lunch in it for anyone who can help!!
