My 1997 Civic Hatch

Hey,

Well I heard of the Forum from .saint when he joined talkJDM.com (another JDM Community Forum, which I own, if any of you guys wanna check it out you're more than welcome

). I never really got around to making an account on here, so I decided to make one today ... Anyways, about my car, I rescued this Hatch from Ricerville a mid last year - it had 18" Wheels, Ractive Dual Tip Exhaust, and Full of "Gun Shot" decals, lol. I didn't have a camera since my nephew slammed it to the ground and broke it, but I took some pics with my Cell Phone, before I started to work on the car.

I was saving up for awhile, because I knew that the only way I would find a Hatch down here (Florida) would be a Riced Out Hatch, so I needed to take care of that first. In other words, there aren't any Engine Mods just yet, except for the Aftermarket Headers (OEM's were cracked), but I am still saving up money for the Engine Stuff, so dont worry about that. Anyways, here it is, hope you enjoy ...

Pics of When I Bought the Car:

Pics of the 18" Wheels (Which I hated!)

Parts (As They Arrived):

In the process of Black Housing OEMs:

*Now I got Gun Metal SiR Headlights*

Pic of the Car After Most Parts:

Now Here's some pics from 9/29/2006 ...
