To date ive treated the car to a full service and the car is currently at a friends garage being prepped to paint.
The following will be getting done over the next week:

I've ordered a brand new ek9 front bumper and lip so these will be painted and fitted.
cut out rust on rear arches/sills.
Remove ek9 spoiler and fit vti one.
Colour code all body work ect
'ek9' the headlights (done most of this today)
remove rear wiper
Fit a small sub and new kenwood speakers to the front doors
Fit new discs and pads
fit timing belt kit

After this, ill be on the look out for some nice wheels. Been speaking to a guy on jdmy0 who is hopefully gna hook me up with some ek9 shocks and lowering springs too.

C&C welcome

i hope so. there are a load of things that make it look **** right now.

ordered a full new exhaust for it today (oem) cba with a loud d14 lol.
 
nice wee car as said lips will look much better painted and a nice set of rotas would look good ;)
 
the exhaust is eh...large lol

car should be a lot more presentable within the next few days, and within a month or so should look the way i want it to (i.e lower and on better wheels).
 
Looks ok man, the Ek9 spoiler looks like a bad replica in my opinion. Just colour code the car, remove bumper strips and lower it then rotas or volks if you have the pennies.
 
its a real ek9 spoiler but its mounted on a vti spoiler instead of an ek9 base plate. i dont like it tbh. thats why its coming off. if anyone wants to sell me their base plate, fire in lol.
 
some pics of the car when i first got it:

Its coming togeather tho.

c&c welcome as per.

Think im holding on to it for now.Its quite unique and think the guy i got it off paid a fortune for it.
 
Can't wait to see it all together now mate. Done what I commented saying whether you saw it or not and the car will look really nice. I prefer the pre-facelift look anyway for a civic.
