Very nice Civic hatch you have there. That thing looks new. I used to have a 1989 Civic STD Hatch that I paid $200 for and the entire rocker panels were gone due to rust and you could reach up in the rust holes and touch the plastic interior panels. When I washed the car, I would get water on my carpet. I liked that car for what it was, but man yours is soo nice. I wish everyone would take care of their cars. Keep it in tip top condition.

Just an update...I'm about 80% done cleaning/detailing the engine bay. Still some to do...
I still havent had it power washed/steam cleaned yet.. All I did was use rags , paintbrush and 2 cans of WD40,
scrubbed around the engine bay alot of parts taken off and cleaned..
Power washing/steaming will do the trick..
I'm gonna someone locally help with the powerwashing etc etc.

Anyways heres some pics of the progress...

The car was oil sprayed when bought brand new...
Its been sitting in a workshop, covered under a car cover.
Alot of dust went inside the engine bay and embedded onto the oilspray/rustproofing...
Engine bay has never been washed in 19 years..
Alot of the parts/bolts are still new, shiney because of it...
I did have to change the engine mount (got for free) and a couple 12mm nuts though.
