End of the line..

Well my dad decided to buy a new truck so he will be selling his car which I wanted to buy, being a civic it will be good on gas. Currently I'm getting 44 MPG driving the civic while my Accord is getting a average of 30 MPG. So I decided I'm done with my car and I am getting it ready to sell soon. I will probably be selling it for 1200 because of all the money I put into it. But of course I gotta show off my new car ;)

Brand New Paintjob!

Well I was sick of my original colour so i decided it was time for a paint job. This is how it sits now...

Just kidding i would never paint it like that! It looks like a race car... lol anyways I washed my car and did some engine cleaning this is actually how it sits now!

Arm rest painted black

I didn't like the arm rest colour. First I took apart the arm rest and prepped it for paint.

Started the first coat

 2nd coat

Painted the vinyl

Finished product

Back in my car. I also painted my E-brake.

More bad news.

Well where do I even start. Burnham and me were talking at the curling club while I was touring around we stopped and talked then when we were leaving he was drifting out and got stuck in some snow. I had some rope in my car and tied some to my car and then Burnham's blazer. I pulled him a bit then he gave it too much gas and we were on ice and he full out hit me. Here is some pictures of my bumper smashed.

As you can see the bumper is done. Trunk is buckled in a bit. The bottom of right tail light is broken. Part of the frame behind the bumper was bent in too.

The car wasn't road worthy so we ordered a bumper from bensons auto parts. That cost 120 bucks.

When it arrived we put it on the car and tried as best as we could to bend the frame back in place to hold the bumper on. Relocated the licence plate at the same time too.

New Exhaust

I bought a new exhaust to replace my stock one. It doesn't make it any faster just sound nicer.

Bought it for 140$

Old Exhaust

Rust repair

So I decided enough with the rust bubbles in the back panel because these cars are known for having that and it will spread like wild fire. First we grinded off all the bubbles and it turns out someone fixed it before too and was bondo. So we cut out as much rust as we could and put a plat of sheet metal to cover it and pop riveted it to the panel.

More grinding

Patch it up with bondo

Primer

More primer

Final Product!

I was happy with the outcome of that for sure!

Little Scrape

Well I accidentally scraped up against a brick wall lol I'm used to my dads car which has a short front end and i forgot this has a big front end but anyways here is the pics before and after.

Just some paint to fix it enough for me

More goodies!

Well I bought some more stuff when the money came in so I got:

Pedals: ~40$

Oil change had to be done so we put in a new oil pressure gauge: ~40$

 New front and back speakers: ~250$

New amp to power my sub: ~160$

Subwoofer! ~350$

Brakes

Well brakes had to be some time because it was getting squeaky and that mean its rubbing down telling you that you need to change your brakes its a safety feature if you didn't know that. So while we changed the pads on the front we painted the calipers red!

New headlights

Got some new headlights they are blue but its hard to capture it in a camera.

More goodies from the junkyard

At the same time as getting my fender at the junkyard i picked up some more goodies.
