Default My First Honda...Ever

Been outta the game a while. Never had a Honda before either so its sorta new to me, but started work on this 98 LX. Just got it about a month ago and my boy Eli helped me do most of the work in his garage. So far we got the coilovers, camber kit, control arms and wheels and tires. Also added type r front and rear lips. My boy Jeff over at Acura put in the new clutch. Still needs a lot of cosmetic work but its all there mechanically...mostly What do you guys think so far? Got a buncha plans but one thing at a time. Still has some gremlins I'm trying to work out due to previous owner neglect but nothing too too serious...

Imo, keep it Cypress Green. I have one, wouldn't dare change it's color. Keep up the good work. I hate seeing neglected Civics, but love the success stories! I was lucky enough to pick mine up senior owned, but unfortunately minor dings on most panels. ): Good luck!

i know what u mean. mine has several dents and dings too. already changed a cracked taillight, slipping clutch, cracked dash pieces, removed most of the old worn out tint, and now trying to take off the damn pin stripe but that shit is baked on so its a bitch. got my appointment tomorrow for the alignment and need to get the timing adjusted asap. once thats done it'll be riding pretty good.

Thanks to CJ from SqaudronOne for rolling the fenders, we were able to lower the car (no more mexi-flush). Also did small shit like finally remove the old tint and pin stripe.
