Default eh2 hatch= My new project

Hey guys i'll update this thread as i go along with my project. Got the car for a good price (1995 vx or cx I DONO) and jumped on it when i saw the underbody and how new it looked, especially the fuel lines :o Only rust the car had was the rear quarter panels :thumbup:

how i got it first

first thing i did was send the car in for paint and quarter panel removed. well after two and a half weeks of waiting and checking it out everyday here's the outcome:

Trennell is right about Goo Gone. That stuff takes off the most stubborn things! Just make sure you don't try to cheap out on it though. Use as much as you have to and be patient (I know this from de-badging part of my car's rear).

The car looks good. Is that a stock colour for those Civics? It kinda reminds me of my own (Eternal Blue Pearl) but it's darker.

I gotta give this Goo Gone a try. Yes it's a stock colour, you see it alot on the 4 door 92-95 civics but not alot on hatches.

paint thinner works as well. I use it at my shop to get sticker glue off of my batteries

(probably not as good as goo gone, but it does the job )

Don't waste your time on goo gone, go to Home depot and get a large tin of Acetone. It should look purple when you pour it out and evaporate really quickly. I used it to take off the glue from pin striping and it eats away at any film/plastic such as tint or pinstripes or decals. It's not expensive at all, it's like 8.00 a tin. Put some on a rag and dab it over the window, let it sit for about 3 min and then soak the rag some more and wipe it all off.

ok got some amber corner and amber sidemarkers. bought f2 coils 10k front 6k rear with blox rear control arms. Now i tried installing the rear coilover now and took one bolt that connects the shock to the control arm out. than it started pouring like a bitch so had to stop working on the car so quickly put everything back on except that bolt!!! is it safe to still drive with the car like that since it's only one side in the rear?

OptionJDM gave me a great deal
