Restoration 1979 Honda Civic 1200 Pictures
hey guys,
i enjoy looking at people's restoration progress and figure others probably do as well.
I got this car in the summer of 2011, it was in pretty rough shape, unfortunately i lost the pictures of when i got it home...only have pics when i had already started the dismantle.
Thanks to you guys i was able to track down a strut (which was very hard) and special thanks to Chris in Langley who helped with alot of parts
I am by no means a body man, so to a body mans standards it probably wont be to par but im happy with it!
I did the body work myself, and even gave painting a shot! The guy at Lordo told me that i will probably get a decent orange peel effect if i didnt wet sand it... the plan was to wet sand.... but then i got lazy, lol. I figure it looks good as is.
I planned to spray paint then clear, but after realizing the need for 2 guns and all that jazz i went with a single stage paint. The goal was to have it San Remo Green, but after seeing the color i went with a newer color that was very similiar ( 68 Mustang lime/gold)
Well ill leave it with you!
