Project ek

[Dcivic]

Well this is my first project. It started life as a 1.4 civic. Main plans are a full respray in artic blue and a b18c conversion. Its my first time ever spraying a car or doing an engine conversion so i learned a hell of alot along the way and im delighted how it turned out.

Started of by attacking the engine bay with primer

After a coat of paint

Started putting bay back together

Front assembled

Started stripping and prepping car for respray

Homemade spray boot

Rolled the car in and did a bit more preppin

First coat of base coat

What it looked like when i rolled it out

Painting everuthing up

Everything back together

After a buffing

Few pics i took during the engine conversion. I put the engine in before i had the respray finished

Didnt like the chrome lights so decided to paint them

98 spec teg wheels i picked up. Still waiting to get a 5 stud conversion

Set of front camber arms i got

How it stands now

Fair play to ya lad... That seems like a nice bit of work and looks to be done well..

 

[Jimbo]

That's pretty impressive dude! Considering it's your first time spraying a car and doing a B18c swap!

 

[SPek9]

Alot of hard work gone into the car and it looks great! Proper engine to pull it along aswell

 

[Dcivic]

Thanks lads... You get great satisfaction when you do the work yourself It mightened be perfect but I learned alot and if I was to do it again i know it would be better.

Fair play on doing it yourself, I completely agree though doing it and making mistakes is the best way to learn!
