  • bjornE - honda civic - shuttle

    Hi there!
    I'm a fellow stancer located in Sweden that's been lurking around on this forum for a while now.
    And I thought since parts is beginning finally to arrive for my Honda, it was about time to post a thread for it.
    I really hope to show you how to make one of the ugliest cars in the world a bit more attractive.
    It's not an easy task with the Shuttle (Wagovan) so bear with me on this one, haha!

    A few past builds by me:
    Mazda rx7 -94: http://www1.garaget.org/archive/45/4...38-1069412.jpg
    VW Vento -93: http://www1.garaget.org/archive/45/4...34-1954306.jpg
    VW Jetta -84: http://www1.garaget.org/archive/45/4...79-2330211.jpg
    VW Vento OpenAir -95: http://www1.garaget.org/archive/45/4...51-2003508.jpg
    Toyota Starlet -80:http://www1.garaget.org/archive/45/4...61-2481909.jpg

    My Nardi-wheel and RÄZO-knob mounted: (Yes, I'm missing the hornbutton for now)


    Testfitted a pair of my OZ Vega 2pc wheels in 15", not gonna use these though.



    Joeymodded my headlights:

          Thank you both very much for your support on this build!


          I'll be out in my garage measuring my rims soon. Will be taking more pictures then!

          I need to figure out how wide lips I can go with on them. I'm aiming for 9" wide rims all around but would love to see that I can go wider than that...


          My camberadjustments arrived today, I've decided to go with a neutral silver instead of all flashy colors that people often use on them..

                      What are the two switches in front of the shifter used for? Mine did not have those. That actually looks like an EK civic center console. But those come with cup holders and not a flat panel.
