I like the look and like SS brake lines. More detail please. Who is your source for the SS lines. Are they custom?

While he modified some existing lines, another option that I have used on my '79 civic is custom ordering some from Apex Brakes. You can choose the fittings and length and even bracket options, and the lines are much better quality than I expected!

I had some time to work on the N. I started the body work. I welded the body molding holes, the antanna hole and where the stock driver mirror holes are. Also my where my hood latch Gos there was a lot of damage and didn't let my grill line up. I bang all the damages out and it lined up nicely. Here's some pics.

Damn this thing is going to look great. Keep up the good work! (And never take off those headers!)

I just closed the front fender side marker holes on my 1970. I makes for a very clean look. I will do the rear marker holes next. My year doesn't have the chrome strip. The side markers seem to be only on the USDM cars.

I was thinking a bought that too but i kinda like the corner lights. mine is a an600 thats why it had the chrome moldings.

8803 · **Posted:** Thu Feb 02, 2012 8:35 am

both mine are 1970 AN600 and neither have chrome strip. Must be the 71 that had them. I am going to put tiny led side markers on the front and either use the tail light as a side marker or get the European tail lights that were all in one. The European cars did not have the side markers at all and I think that looks better.
A few weeks ago I saw a crazy header down at Ming's. It snaked out the passengers side and was held together with the racing springs, no flanges. I am working on a header that has equal length primaries and a collector. I plan to use the racing springs too. The whole changing of the header came about because of your set up, which I really like.

ya i think it is only on the 71 and up. you should update your build thread i like seeing what different things people come up with. Tims got a lot of stuff that people haven't seen i love going there. i got to go there soon i need to grab a few things. thanks man

Heres a few pic of the body work. I had to grind the hole roof and pound all the dings out.

The hood I had to tack the framing so it won't be soo wobaly so I can line up the hood.

You are making progress. Looks good. My roof looks like someone danced on it.

rasta N · **Posted:** Wed Jun 20, 2012 9:43 am

ya man same here i took forever to hammer them all out.

A few questions. Back a few pages you show your rebuilt axles. Where did you get the boots?? I used early civic boots for my steering and ball joints but haven't been able to find an axle boot.
Also where is your battery located?

rasta N · **Posted:** Mon Sep 10, 2012 11:15 am

for the boots i got from a local shop its call Big O the guys name was Tony it took him a while to find it but he got them you might need to take him yours. the battery i relocated to the passenger side in the trunk.

I got (3) near me. Big O Tires (Pasadena, Glendora, West Covina) I will check them out. I saw a BMW at Pick a Part last week. They have the battery in the trunk. Maybe I will get a long bat cable for the price of a standard bat cable. Monrovia Pick a Part has had (2) N600's there in the last couple of months. There is one there now with some parts left. struts, master, booster, rack, hood, trunk lid, pass. door.

Your car is looking great, just started getting back into my project. We get a lot of rust up here, with any luck I can have the floor pans buttoned up and ready for meda blasting and a few coats of epoxy primer.

rasta N · **Posted:** Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:48 am

its Big O auto parts not tires.

Douglass the floors came out nice. your making good progress.

Im working on my doors and hood right now, there is soo many dings. the body work is taking forever.
