hct728(Bob) Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 No interior except for dash and front seats either! How I remember the Civic when it first came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I was expecting to see the Hasegawa kit! This looks excellent, careful detailing and good colour choice set it off very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboat Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Nicely done! I drove an orange one back in the 80's. It was a little worn out. I had to crank it for about 15 seconds to build compression before it would start. When I stopped at a light, blue smoke would come from the hood vents. Great memories though. Thanks for building this rare one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I never knew about this kit! My dad got a '77 CVCC, which I drove into the ground (after they got a gen2 Accord). I have the two Hasagawa kits (unbuilt of course), which don't have the engine. You did a very nice job on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajohn97 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Nice job on Honda’s first big hit. I had a silver ‘78 CVCC 5 speed with the “hound’s tooth” cloth seat inserts. These CVCC’s had the best “drivability” of any vehicle available in the mid/ late 70’s, the “not golden years” of autos IMO. They were fun to drive compared to everything else (all relative...). They also tended to fall apart before 100k miles. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Nice work on the little Honda. Never knew this kit existed. In the mid-80s I worked with a guy who drove a 78 CVCC. That little car was a tank, with good old-timey snow tires on each corner, there was no amount snow that thing would not go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
