Worked on a friend`s civic...

[Bbasso]

Just to get him to see what his car could look, like I did a little work ;)

I knew I did not have enough supplies to do the entire car, so I took the worst panel and did an OK job... not my best work but enough effort to show him what it could look like. And now... He`s dying to get me to finish LOLz



Here are just two pictures he took.

Nice job...also looks like he used sandpaper to wash it at some point. lol

[Bbasso]

That would be, in his words "When the car was parked at `the shop` there was a rust bucket (with a loose blue tarp) right next to it. I did not realize that the tarp (when it was windy) was scratching the living hell out of the passenger side door and rear 1/4."

He bought the civic as a shell (orginal body expt hood&f bumper) , and put it all together. from then to now it`s such a turn around.



Thanks! He just has to find the time for me to finish it up... I can`t wait to get on it. I`ll be sure to post up some more pictures.

Is that an EG style hatchie???

That`s the best. I love it when I polish one panel of someone`s car and it looks like it was repainted, not matching the rest of the car. It`s the best way to get someone to pay you for a full detail. :D

[Bbasso]

Matt, I`ve been doing that to many people for many years ;)



it`s a 95 civic coupe.

Pictures to come... when I finish the car.



thanks

Nice job until now mate....It must be an EG ...I can recognize this door handle and the rear window from miles away : )

What is the engine of it???

[Bbasso]

it`s a 95 civic coupe.





1.5L 99% stock, just a reliable gas saver. Nothing more.

This past Sunday I was able to finish up the car, it came out very very nice!

My aging A95 has been shooting blurry pictures lately :( So out of the 89 pics, two were ok...

But here is the killer part and I`m so damm mad!

I get a email from the owner of the Civic and in it he tells me that at work Tuesday that the trunk and rear bumper have been keyed :MAD: Also says that the scratches are nearly down to metal.

Just had to rant, but here are pictures.... Hopefully one day I can use his camera to take some shots :crossesfingers:

porter cable with small/large pads in orange/white/etc

Great job. Who keys a 15 year old Civic? That`s just awful. Maybe he parked it weird because you fixed up his paint.

if you take some time wetsanding the car it will probably look even better ;)
