This is my '95 Civic Ex. It's my daily driver that's gonna start seeing some new parts as soon as i get my money straight. Things in need of repair are on page 2 . Plans are listed on page 3 , but don't expect to see progess anytime soon as I've got plenty of work to get done just to keep her roadworthy. Body work that needs to be done is on page 4 . All the pics I've taken of the car are on page 5. My overall plan for this car is to have a reliable daily driver with plenty of power, while still retaining power steering, a/c, and cruise control.

Got stuck on a chunk of snow, had to back up and when I did the front bumper broke in half. Gotta get another one now. I'm trying to start getting the parts together for the rebuild now.
