Picture: What happened to 55HAG! The little 1st gen with hydraulics.

[55HAG]

Hey guys and girls, it has been a while since I have been on here. I have just checked back in and seen I have had a lot of messages from people wondering what happened with the car.

Unfortunately its not a good story. I did get around to fitting the hydro kit to it, the little car was insane! Being so light i could hop the front around a foot off the ground and the rear could hop around a foot and a half. I got a lot of unwanted attention from the po po and they defected the car. It was at this stage I decided to make a show car out of it. I took it to a local panel shop to have the doors suicided, door handles shaved and chassis strengthened. It then was moved to another shop for paint. They took forever to start the project and then the car was stolen. The business did not have insurance so I ended up with nothing. Did a little research and found out by a shop next to them that everytime there was a customer at their shop they would take them to the civic and bounce it. They kept the car undercover in the yeard behind the shop and looks like one of these customers come back, cut the fence and took my little 55HAG! I did get the car back around 2 months later from the police but it was in not a good state. I have had a few different projects since then and always keep thinkin about my love for 1st gens. after i finish my VW kombi and Volksrod i think a 1st gen will be back in my garage.

Take care
