Honda Civic Hatchback

[Foxer]

It's not as bad as it sounds ... I started a Porsche 924 Turbo a couple weeks ago and now onto another. But, I AM working on my daughter's Van still, just getting the 8-lug wheels rusty.

This Honda Civic Tuner I just picked up at the LHS on a whim and started doing some bodywork. I cut the grill from the front clip and added it to the hood ... more of a '50 type of hood. The photos are before and after the first primer for bodywork check.

Plans for this are being developed as I go. The wheels are going to be pushed out and fender flares added. I'll see how much I lower it as I go .. depends how much I can actually do. I want to cover the ribs on sides of the front clip with scoops to get more to the radiator and possibly an intercooler ... for a turbo. I have a blister pack with bumps that look like they may work.

Thinking about side sills .. maybe something that blends the fender flares.

I mistakenly attached the stock rear clip but I'll modify it in some way just so it doesn't look like every other Revell Civic out there.

I'm not looking to make any "type" of custom mod to this.. the more it not classed as a tuner the better.. but it still might be one. I'd rather it be just a custom Civic.

I welcome all questions, comments, or criticisms

i had this same kit right when it came out....my cat jumped up on the shelf it was on and chewed the back pillar on it so i made it into a convertable. Then 2 years later i moved and it got smashed in its box, so it now resides in my parts box;(
