Restoration Islander's First Generation Honda Civic

Filter cap? or filler cap. I sand blasted it and had it sprayed in the same black paint as the rest of the parts.

Wow. The car came out really nice! How far it has come!!

[islander]

Thanks everyone. Yes the car really has come along way over the past two years. There are still a few minor things to work out tho. The intake manifold has a minor coolant leak because I tried to reuse the gaskets, just because none of the parts stores could supply me with any. I have picked up a sheet of gasket paper to cut my own tho. As well I need to install a brake master cylinder and get the brakes working properly. All very minor stuff. I did however manage to install the washer bottle and lengthen the wires, bolt the hood back on and give the paint a real good coat of wax. :D Steph I even included the last photo for you. I decided to clean up the decals and re-adhere them. They all turned out very good.

Hey Jeremy, I picked up a couple of those radiator decals at the wreckers recently, and I figured the could easily be re-used.

Are they your hinges in the photos?

[islander]

:? For the time I guess. If you remember I sold the original hood and could not use the hinges off of the 78' hood. I know they look hideous dont they

I used an earlier hood on my 78. .... a Canadian 77 hood on a US 78.

I had to drill new holes and make up some bushings btw the hinges and Radiator support to get it to sit right....seems different years and markets had different versions.
