actually... the hood is frucked up, making my headlight look off...
the door needs a new bushing in the lower hinge making it sag

the fender is slightly bent but with the side skirts on it will go away... trust

its still coming together... but its driveable now, just need to get my windsheild changed out and pickup my CF hood and omnis from Johnlo... get the side skirts on and its basically done...!

the hood is bad, cuz the hood latch wasnt installed and it came up @ 70km. later i had to take the hood off and jump on it to straighten it out... the skeleton was all messed so i straightened it out with the fist(popped out dents and shiiit)

Im sorry to hear about this, but I am so glad to you are alive. However what I dont understand is why once half the people on here with civic wreck there ride they always wanna go buy a truck instead? Makes me wonder how much they liked there civic in the first place. If I wrote mine off I wouldnt think twice about buying another civic.

i live in the country, on a farm... thats what is typically driven here... i need something that i can put my 4wheeler in to go ride with friends and something that is more stable in the snow....

and i love the looks of slammed trucks on reall big wheels....

- i did the fast car thing, it was fun but it got me in too much trouble... so i need to have something that looks the way i want it to and can not fold up on me like a tin can if i ever do get in another accident.....


i love hondas and if i can ever afford to get another car soon, i know it will likely be a honda... but a truck sounds like a good idea too

-Matt
...rough night
