Re: 1979 Civic project from Finland
Ok, thanks for info. I'll change the engine oil after starting it, to see if it runs ok. It hasn't run in many many years. But first I have to rebuild the carburator. Repair kit is on it's way from USA.
So, synthetic for engine and transmission it is.

Re: 1979 Civic project from Finland
I have now another Civic, it was wrecked by some youngsters. The owner sell it to me, and price was low. Windows are gone, so is tail lights and sidemirrors. And some idiot have been jumping on the roof, so it's ruined. But there is also lot's of good parts, engine for example. I've been taking it apart now. Can I have some tips to remove the engine/transmission?
There was also one roof weatherstrip in it, but still the other one is missing. If some one got one to sell, I would be happy to buy. I know there is in Australia, but first I try find them from near.

I've been working with the new Civic and it is now totally taken apart. Even take the roof off, because that vinylmaterial from roof was too difficult to take off.. :oops: Today I bring away that empty body, and now I have lot's of good parts so it's nice to continue project.

Today was a great day for my Honda. It finally has no holes in body, and today sprayed some primer on it. This is how it looks now.
