In other news, found my next project. its a 1978 Honda Civic. These were my 1st 'winter' cars as a youngster. Found this (and the donor) sitting in a friends shop (Al). Al races and builds Hondas summer and winter. It had been disassembled and media blasted 8ish years ago, fully caged and then....sat (too many projects for Al).
So now its mine! Still bare metal. Not quite ready for it but couldn't pass it up.

The not so straight red car is an old ice racer to pick parts from (done).

And here is the proper donor. A 93 civic build for SMF. This car is a multiple class winner. Many FTDs. In other words, its fast.
