Thankyou very much Yep the en4 pulls really well . I have another set of mats but i'm keeping them for a future EB1 73 project.

Here's the next update

Ive fitted some rear mudflaps and i dont like them at all

Maybe they will grow on me

Jay, not sure what you don't like about your mud guards. I think they blend well and look real good on your car.

Are you sure you couldn't part with them, it would be for a really good cause

Mudflaps look good IMO, go well with the wheels/pin stripe

If i find any more i'll let you know, the shipping would be the killer though


I had a rummage around the garage again and found this. Its an internal release kit for the 1st gen civic's trunk / hatch?

The lever bolts into the blanking holes for the unused grab handle above the driver's door

Nice find on the petrol flap puller! I've seen a lot of JDM gear for the 1G Civic, but never that option, must be UKDM only?

Check out my introduction thread posted up some graphic pictures of the burnt out '74... Also where did you find that steering wheel, I've come across a similar one, that has a period looking mugen centre cap, and momo engravings, trying to work out if its legit old school mugen, or just a wheel with mugen centre cap.

Hanging's too good for the scum that did that too your civic

I know its a mess but its gotta be salvagable.

The steering wheel is a cheap mountney one that i stuck an old style honda "h" emblem on

BTW its a remote rear hatch release not a petrol flap release

I have a 73-77 roof console and i want to fit it too my 79' car. The problem is the 78-79 cars dont have a round dome interior light like the one used oon the 73-77 cars. The 78-79 have a rectangular dome light and if you try and fit the earlier roof console it looks like this.

Here's my regtangular dome light been removed.



And here you can see that the hole left by the rectangular interior light leaves a huge gap either side the roof console.



My solution is to fit and earlier roof liner. Dont know if it will work but here goes

I found a 73-77 roof liner in a scrap car. Sadly its was a bit moldy





But after some cleaning with "vanish" it doesnt look to bad at all.



Now to remove my liner and transplant the 73-77 one in.

Cant wait to get this fitted.



TBC

Awesome car! I love the color and the quality work youre doing

Just read this entire thread, and I must say your work is impressing!
I like your attention to details

I'll be following this thread.
Keep up the good work

-74 Honda N600 restoration project

Got the 79' civic out of the garage for the first time since september. Found these NOS rubber over riders which ive fitted . We didnt get them in the UK so its a bit unusual here

Today i fitted a 2nd Gen Civic S chin spoiler. I had to cut it down but it fits well

The console project finally completed.

To fit the console i drilled through the base of the console to allow me to fix a self tapping screw into the roof rib or dome light surrround. As you can see i made a few holes until i was happy.
I then drilled a very small pilot hole making sure i didnt drill through the roof Once i had done this i simply screwed it up with a self tapper and i could get my finger above to double check i wasnt screwing through the roof That's the self tapper just below the green/black wire

The 78/79 wires are white/blue black and green/black

These need to be wired in as so

Black to black wire on console. (I removed the earth conection and crimped that)
White Blue to white on spot light
Green black to Green Black



All Fitted

Found this steering wheel laying around the garage so i thought i had better fit it ,Feels better than i expected
