1978 Honda Civic CVCC Hatchback

Post by JohnWillo »

I'm brand new to this forum, but here is my car. It is a 1978 Civic CVCC hatchback with 72,000 miles. You'll notice it is missing the headlight surrounds, but I have located these from a member and they are on the way. I'm excited about this great little car. I found it in the Pacific Northwest, where road salt is illegal. It is a rust free car as far as I can tell. Anyway, here's some photos to start.

It has been repainted, and fairly recently it appears. The pinch welds, underside, floor pans and crossmembers all look totally clean, so I'm crossing my fingers...

Here is a quick interior shot of my car before I cleaned it up.

Thanks to user Slim in England, I was able to source some headlight bezels for my 1978 Civic, and now the exterior is finished, and the car is only a detail job and tune-up away from being completely done! I've posted a few exterior photos with the new bezels. Thanks again Slim!
