How to Build a 1997 Honda Civic Hatchback: Daily Driver Goals!

  • Hello everyone,
    Today we bring you an awesome episode with Melvin and his super clean daily driver. A Honda Civic was always meant to be a daily driver but in 2023 the sixth gen civic is really hard to find. Hence why we think it is super cool that Melvin daily drives this awesome hatchback. I am glad his uncle was the person who inspired him to continue to build olschool Hondas. The long term plan for this car is to go K series and I am super excited to see when he completes that part of his project. Thank you all for the continued support and thanks to Melvin for sharing his awesome story. #automotiveanatomy

    For alot of us, this hobby is an escape from reality, an escape from family problems, personal problems, work problems or simply to destress..the stories behind these cars dont just involve car parts but human beings👌🏽 another great interview Gus! Hopefully one day I get a chance to share my humble build here in socal as well 🙏🏽
