1986 Mkiii Civic

Hey guys just an intro into my new project, it wasnt supposed to be a big project but its turning into one.



Here it is as i bought it:









So its already past the stripping stage but heres some pics:





















The arches are pretty good and don't require a lot of work:















The main rust is at the front footwells:















More to come!

Fixing the 3G's rust:



My dad made me a floor panel from scratch which was pretty cool:









Under floor pan and front of sill welded up:









Inner floor skin welded in:





Me in my safety gear!













So far me and my dad are making a pretty good team!



The rust at the front has now been cut out a replaced with fresh metal, the next task is to tackle the rear sills.

More progress on the old school ride!

Rear driver arch is finished, its had a plate on the sill underneath, two patches on the outer arch and two patches on the inner arch. The welds have been sealed and ignore the multicoloured paint its just to keep moisture off it.

Rear drivers arch:













The passenger arch required the most work as it had previously had a dodgy repair where a huge patch was welded over the rust.

Props to my dad for making the panel from scratch!

We removed the tank as i didnt fancy welding too close to it.



Rust partially removed:


Rust removed :shock:



Plenty of sheet metal required:


The panel my dad made from scratch:


Started plating up and tacking the panels together:



And the panel in place:





Just needs a bit of trimming and the seem welding underneath then thats all the welding complete 8)

Oh and heres the choice of colour:



Getting there guys!







Red paint is just there to stop the atmosphere affecting the filler and metal etc.

[kel]

Engine out and one arch virtually finished and ready to be prepared for its new colour:



No more rust!



Cleaning the engine bay so i can start prepping it for paint:





Fresh arches looking good:





Auto box is in the bin!



Welding up some unused holes in the bay, il only be doing the obvious ones as there is just too many in the 3G bay.







The bay is now in primer:





Team Honda:
The bay is now in fresh paint 8)





Slam panel and the unpainted parts will be going black if you was wondering.

[kel]

Lots of progress on this guys:


















Got some more stuff done to this but I'm really struggling with time now as the days are getting shorter.

Heres how ive run the wires for the passenger side lights and washer tank


No wires yeah!


Some interior is going back in, well just the door cards at this point:


Also started undersealing the car:


Washed the awesome mudflaps:


Here some pics of how its looking, all the panels should be on tonight as all the welding is done. I need to get a new screen though.







Cant wait to get it in one piece and looking shiny!

[kel]

More progress getting some panels on and aligned:















Progress on the CBR600 manifold:







More work on the carb set up guys!

Manifold fitted with adaptors to feed the vacuum advanced dizzy, they will also be used to balance the carbs.


Heres the balnce chamber to give the dizzy a balanced vacuum feed.




And heres how it all looks, it needs a good clean up and fresh paint yet.

Cheers, we are now known as team Honda on facebook

Its been great having a project me and my dad can work on together, between us we have pretty much all the skills we need to build the car.

That's looking so good, nice colour choice too. What else is planned for it? (I love the 3rd gen Civics, keep up the good work!)

[choaky]

That is gorgeous! Just bookmarked this one.

[xbo11ox]

Great work!!!! Respect to your dad as well, great tin bashing skills!!!

[sb]

I do love a tidy 3rd gen and this is certainly tiny! Ill be watching this, good luck!

[georgeb]

Very, very nice.

[bstardchild]

Nice work by both of you, you dad did well fabricating that wing arch section.

[craig1010cc]

That's a great looking project you have there, corking color too ☺

[choco]

Great project i love these, theres loads of engine swap options too. Did you have any hassle painting outside ??

[gurnersimps1963]

Great work mate,your Dad certainly has some great fabbing skills,I'm sorry I sold my Honda now....

[HoTWire]

Great stuff, lovely colour...

I'd find the urge to go Kanjo Racer style to be irresistible to be honest

[79cord]

Looks great.
Was trying to think what Hondas the colour reminded me of. Not easy to find internet pictures of the first Mugen CR-X Pro show car.

2nd gen City much easier.

[oxb1l]

Thats cool

nice work keep it up

Some fantastic work here. The colour reminds me of this:


Kanjo and blue... All 3G civics need a big old wing...
