Hi all,

A few of you guys might know me from civicjordan and civiclife, and joined here i want more peoples comments and opinions on what they think of the car and what i can do to improve her.

I had always wanted a civic from when i was young, watching Fast and Furious and that, and one of my Vdub mates sold a Golf bought the jordan, and sold it to me within a month :nice: My project is and was to bring her back to tip top condition no rust at all and respray ect and modify her to my taste

Now i bought her in Feb 2011 in a pretty poor state, rusty bonnet between drivers headlight and front grill and bonnet latch, rusty rear arches starting to come through above the sideskirt, and the paint wasnt in the best condition abit faded ect. Anyway i gave her a polish up and spruced up the paint work and heres the first pics i have of her at the April 2011 south mimms meet.

Next i replaced the front bumper as it was slightly damaged by Boris the Badger on the dual carridgeway, so opted to go smooth.

Then one of my mates with a Jordan was breaking his parts off the car to sell it standard, so jumped in and bought these

Ek9 cat, Decat, Spoon B-Pipe, Spoon N1 backbox

Nice one man. Instead of driving it in one day. You should come to the cottages with us. It's an awesome laugh. Just ask Keith he is organising it.

And believe me 258 will be here this year come hell or high water :nice:
 
Looks good man. Simple mods like the mirrors and the N1 have really changed the car well done :D
