br0nx finest : 1997 Honda Civic EX

[br0nx finest]

hello guys, let me start by mentioning, since this was my first automotive forum; I am going to share my entire '09 build with you guys. I have NOT and do not plan to post this build on other sites, so consider yourselves the lucky ones (just kidding, my car is weaksauce)

I've had the car since 2006, and it was the car I really wanted, so I treated it as such as much as I could afford to and this year I put my life on hold, picked up a second job & promised to do everything I could from the ground up with the help of my very good friends.

here are some pics of it in its '08 fashion, just a few things I did with small money because I was going to school way too much and working way too little.

Car's lookin' fresh dude! When you get that thing done we need to meet up do a shoot or something. It's been too long since we saw each other.

Lol I'll have so many surprises to show you kid!

[Macaqueistrong]

Nice build! For being on a student budget you sure did have some nice wheels!
I think its awesome that your sharing your build with us, just goes to show that
cb7tuner is a friendly site and we can appreciate a build on a civic just as much
as one on an accord! Good luck with her and I cant wait to see the progress!

[br0nx finest]

Thanks man, I just saved stuff. Took me almost 2yrs to get my first set of really nice wheels. Prior to that I had Si wheels and stocks.

However, I am completely building this car back up from the ground up and here's how it looked when it was en route to the body shop.

[GREENCB3]

Thanks homeskillet, long time no speak.

The car was my daily and I did drive for over a year without wipers. Ask anyone who knows me, rain-x or not..I'll drive her in the rain.

It will no longer be my daily and I hope for a CT northeast meet come August so I can bring my car out there for it.

Greencb3, thanks and no the projected date is fourth of July.
