this car looks amazing buddy! I've acquired one of these beautys on a c plate. am looking to do a 4efte conversion in it soon, once i've got got some of the other cars out of the way .

will start up build up thread on it soon.

I think were going to go 4efe..

Do a bit of lightening ,sound proofing rear seats etc..

We done it in a mates 70

And its rapid for what it is!

rightio. civics are quite popular in ireland aren't they, even though some people think its just the toyotas you lads are after.

trust me its all about honda here

aah! jus what i wanted to hear. cheers buddy!

Of course its just my opinion

Its your car and its suited to you..

Love the coversion

Have a civic myself

Liking it man

But not mad about the height or the alloys,

But there easy fixes

Fair play

damn this is gonna be a sweet project!!!

Toms wheels are sexual, really lookin forward to watching this project develop! all the best Colin!

Phil.

Thanks dude,

Car would be nothing without the wheels.

Unfortunatly we were busy with other cars last night

But were planning to have everything plated tonight and everything stripped outside

Please keep watching !

Thanks Everyone

Hey mate nice build mate,

Are you by any chance based in cork in Ireland??,

It's just I remember seeing an ep70 like this in cork a while back, this looks like the same car and rims??

What are your plans for the engine side of things??

Nic

The Previous owner was from cork lad,

Got it off him and started working on it

UPDATE IN FIRST POST

awesome mate! really like the project and its only going to get better

Thanks man,

Going for something a little different

After the respray will be putting on a gt disc rear axel,5Zigen Pro Racer System (Janspeed is too common)

and gt seats..

Watch this space

That looked nice before you started stripping!

Good luck!

Mitch

Also the rear wiper/keyhole etc. are being flushed

17/08/09:

Car is in ready to be stripped

Started with interior

And found this in the rear driver side shock turret:

This was filled with fibreglass paste without any hardener so never went hard..

This also came out of the hole:

Havent got much done as we had a late start

The rear interior is out,rear window,side windows,wiper,seats,carpet & sound deadning is removed

As we left it last night

Stay Tuned For Updates Tonight

Enjoy

18/08/09:

*All interior out

all i can say is....RUST!! Everywhere,but thats a challenge..

Tomorrow will see it all grinded and plated

*Rear wiper,"Starlet" badge,keyhole etc. all plated and ready for filler:

Today was also a slow day,

Tomorrow is going to be a long day,

Expected to have:

*All Windows Out
