hi guys, my name is David, and i live in Hokkaido, Japan.
I just bought this mint Honda Civic FD2 for V$5500, and it is in really good condition.
I have many plans for it once i get my pay check, but for now, little things..

v$20000-V$5500=v$14500

I just bought a 180sx project car to keep me occupied on my free time.
Then i drove by and saw it. The guy told me the engine bay and harness were ready for an RB swap. He said it was sitting there for 15 years! I ended up buying it off of him for V$250. Its gonna need a LOT of work!

Interior is actually pretty mint!

Yesterday i went to the junkyard and found a few cool pieces to complete the exterior for now...

Also got primered down the S13 today, i also fitted on some fender flares in the rear. I might keep em.

Flares: v$100
Front Bumper:V$200
Rear Bumper:V$20
Mirror:V$10
180 front-end: V$50
V$14,250-V$380=V$13,870

The civic got new suspension and new wheels today. Took me five hours to finish the work, i'm satisfied though!

total susp. costs(incl.wheels): V$2000
V$13,870-V$2000=V$11870

dthug69

After i finished painting the 240, some guy came up to me and offered V$3000. new build coming soon though!

V$11870+V$3000=V$14870

I have found my new project car! My buddy finally decided to sell me his fox body that he had imported from the USA after begging him for years for it. he kept it stock and it is in mint condition which gives me a good base to start with. I ended up paying him V$2500 for it which is a steal!

V$14870 - V$2500 = V$12370

SAD NEWS!

Unfortunately i have to move back to the us due to some family/personal problems. I really liked it in japan and i will continue to visit my friends there when i get the time. I sold both the mustang and the civic for V$7500 in all, and i bought a rhd converted s14 with a ford v8 swap in it. the guy sold it to me for V$3500 due to wiring issues but i have figured it out and got it running. the s14 is going to be my dd and drift car until i get an actual daily. Time to get used to the road systems here!
12,745+7500= V$20,245-3500=V$16,755
