Hatch For Wheels: Now With Pictures (56k = DEFFINITLY NOT)

Heres the Tear Down/Build back up of keanes '92 Civic Hatch.


Half Before Cleaning and Half After












before cleaning.






Body Kit comes off








The interior we removed.


Front bumper off? lol

The back end needs another small final wipe down, and it'll be as clean as we're getting it with a rag, soap and water. (theres no picture there of back end of the interior after being all wiped down)
I'll let Keane post the plans for the car.

Good Start Boys ! get er up , not down

well as of now the plans re-doing the front of the interior leather (door panels roof and seats)... the back is going to stay gutted with a strut bar (and under the hood)... painting the back end and putting some carpet down....outside, im gunna try out the flat black look amber corners, stock bumpers and a lip kit. ill be putting in my rear lower springs soon and im gunna slamm it on 15 inch deep deep dish with wheel spacers posibly a little stager...the original plan was to have a b16 turbo for this summer but ran into a few problems with that so thats on hold for now...and im doing all this work myself along with chris...hopeing to have it done for spring...cant see why it wouldnt be we'll keep ya up to date with pics
