Looking very spiffy. Nice job on the battery tray. Your floor reminds me of how mine looked. Keep up the good work! :)

Started on the inner fender rust :shock: seems to be going smooth so far. Still have a few things to take care of with some of the other patches.

Looks good Jeremy, and it's great to see another Civic being resurrected for the long haul.

That's how I feel Jeremy, whenever it's time to replace something, I just replace everything in that area, like when a CV boot split, I figured I might as well take advantage of it, which led to the whole suspension and brakes being replaced with new parts. :)

I figure this is the car that I'll drive until they tell me I'm not allowed to drive anymore! :lol:

:lol: sorry didn't mean to offend you by that comment. I'm talking about the ugly rust that has been eating at my car for the last 36 years!
