i remember when there was a photo floating around a honda facebook group and people were saying it was photoshopped. then all of a sudden real ones started popping up on youtube.
I saw this car on Boostedboiz' channel I believe, couldn't believe how well done it was. You could've told me it was like this from factory, and I would have believed you. Insane idea meets insanely talented and patient people... This is what truly brings new stuff to the table.
Great body work, I got in an argument when I showed my brother this build of "It's easy, just cut and weld" he didn't understand what I was getting at with all the trouble it is to 'do it right'. Great job.
K3NnY_G lol ask about about the fuel filler door, the mounting of the bumper crash bar, extending the roof drip rail trim, the working of all the lights, signals, getting the trunk release latch to work with the oem pop release next to the drivers seat, making sure the back bumper lined up to the new wheel arch. Also the cabin pressure release flaps. There's is a lot involved to do something like this. Thanks so much for watching and for sticking up for the process lol.
Mohan Chellaswamy freshness makes a diffrence not everbody will agree with the creativity. stop hating man allow people do what they want with there own shit nobody living to please your opinions aiight. take care!
@@BodeVision first one i saw was a white one in miami but it also had some suzuki front end. Only time ive seen it.... real unicorn. Apparently Honda sold suzuki their ek and they rebadged it with a diff front end but was only a yr or two so even to this day i cant even find a pic of the suzuki version but seent it person.... props on the channel shitty i only just found it
This actually makes me wish that they made a 5 Door hatchback version of these Civics! This looks like it belongs and would be great for hauling the family around with the usefulness of a hatch but the fun of a Civic. Nice paint as well and I dig the EK4 SiR front/rear bumpers.
I seen this car in a vid of h2o or another car show and thought thats exactly what you did, came out sick and is unique and one of a kind great job man...
5 Door hatch LOL Slick work.Nice job. Catching up on your videos.Good stuff Remind People to like and subscribe at the end of your videos.Build the base!
Damn that turned out good. Miss my ek civic. Had lathers brakes, spax adjustable coilovers, camber adjust kit, poly bushes, strut braces front and back but just the stock engine which I planned to swap. Sadly along came my 2nd child and the Mrs forced me to sell it for a family wagon :( 10 years later I still miss it
I love this conversion. I fell in love with it from the first day I saw it. Great job. I wanted to see if you were going to brace the 1/4's from the body twisting or warping(at least put a rear strut bar in). But I guess there wasn't much flex.
JOEGGGJOE the main structure of the car is in the flor and the pillars so I didn't brace anything during the process of removing the old trunk section. Once it was all done I braced it all with strips of 18 gauge sheet metal and stictch welded it. I wish I had some pictures of that but unfortunately I do not.
Jp Custodio yeah man the current owner/ who I sold the car to is trying to sell it. I actually saw the car this past weekend and it's in my most recent video.
Keep up the good work id like to see wat u do next ill kepp my eye out for u if you have more plans which id say u do with those skills should have alot of ideas but ill subscribe to see wat goes on in the future goodluck 👍
BodeVision yo can u please message me, I really need some help on cutting my hatch and my sedan, Hope to hear from u soon! Message me at macfreshbeats@gmail.com
Yeah man the new owner had put a K series in it and now he just has it as a shell sitting. It was a great car and a car that i learned so much with by having. Future builds are coming brother and they will be better than the Dap Hatch. I appreciate the support and thanks for subscribing.
oh a sedan to a hatchback. cool. I know I shouldn't ask but I've been looking for a car that has 3 doors instead of 2 and the only newest car that has that is the Hyundai Veloster and the old Saturns. Now if I wanted something like that like on a Simi old Honda Civic. what would it cost? Thanks for your time.
Wow that paint was truly nice! Smooth like glass I usually don't like yellow cars but damn that was a nice paint job. If you did film it all it would be like 400+ hours. Top work im inspired.
Yeah man it was defiantly a big job! Also, for the finish to be like glass is what i go for in all of my paint jobs and its not easy but the outcome is always reflective of the time put in! Thanks for your feedback!
You in the sac area? I swear I seen this thing in traffic today. Had a few eks back in the day so when I seen a 4 door it literally broke my brain haha.
Hey, this video is actually helpful... yes mini videos would be better, but the picture are an amazing feature. Anyway you could show measurements of the cuts?
All I have is the pictures where I took some notes on the body. I can send you some of the pictures that show some of the measurements. Also if you're thinking about doing this conversion understand there's issues I didn't cover. For example the roof drip rails must be extended and you'll have to use drip rail trims from a newer accord. Thanks for your feedback I really appreciate it!
I watched a handful of your videos today because my neighbor has one of these ek coupes sitting next door to me and I was thinking it could be a project car for me to work on and learn in the process. I was thinking about asking them if they wanted to sell it. Is there any advise you would have for me?
the best advice based on working within the honda community for so long is the more stock the car is the less issues it will have. I actually wont buy a honda if it has any major modification.
Would u do this again I would buy this from u cuz no one in the Cayman islands does any good work like this an me being some one that love cars but cant get any thing done where I from
The Blue Corolla I understand that the old wagons are like that as well as the newest generation. However, 96-00 doesn't come 4 door hatch from factory.
You're one hell bodyman! You ran threw it li ke it was nothing but I know damn well it was an evolved process. Looks amazing tho..good job man.
Thanks so much man i appreciate that!!
i remember when there was a photo floating around a honda facebook group and people were saying it was photoshopped. then all of a sudden real ones started popping up on youtube.
Do a 4door e.g. Hatch that would be sweet
Wow it’s the only one I have ever seen great job
Thanks so much man i appreciate that!!

In Puerto Rico there's two 4 door hatch back. , a Black one and a Jeep Green color one

looks dope! i always hated the 96 sedan ugly ass rear. 99-2000 hella pretty good job!
HaterHurter sirG345 thanks man I appreciate the feedback and I agree. The 99-00 rear and domani rear is so much better
HaterHurter sirG345 I agree

Yass!!! I've seen one on Photoshop. Finally, someone put in the work.
There's a handful out there of them out there. Im glad you came across mine. Thanks for the feed back man!

You’re one of the best I’ve seen so far man !! Love watching your videos keep it up ! Can’t wait to do one of these in the near future !
I think it looks great never seen a 4 door conversion before but you put alot of time to perfect it bravo.
This is the best hatch conversion example I’ve seen for the ek
This actually makes me wish that they made a 5 Door hatchback version of these Civics! This looks like it belongs and would be great for hauling the family around with the usefulness of a hatch but the fun of a Civic. Nice paint as well and I dig the EK4 SiR front/rear bumpers.
Well, just your attitude in the beginning got you another subscriber
I seen this car in a vid of h2o or another car show and thought thats exactly what you did, came out sick and is unique and one of a kind great job man...
Wow very nice and clean! Honda should have offered this from factory!
They do now
Dope af. Short and simple , and best of all done right.
First Time Seen Or Hearing About This. All I Can Say Is "Speachless & Mad Props.."
DoughBoy PillzBerry thanks so much man really, means more than you know!!

You are a fkn incredible bodyworker (carrossier on French because im French) really good job Man!
Damn that turned out good. Miss my ek civic. Had lathers brakes, spax adjustable coilovers, camber adjust kit, poly bushes, strut braces front and back but just the stock engine which I planned to swap.
Sadly along came my 2nd child and the Mrs forced me to sell it for a family wagon :( 10 years later I still miss it
😂plot twist when he said “this ones also gonna be no good”
Daniel Fuentes lol if i undersold it I knew I couldn't loose

I hear ya. Great job man.
Again I'm seeing this video and can't get over how well its done
I saw this car for sale on craigslist. Really nice. Really clean
Jp Custodio yeah man the current owner/ who I sold the car to is trying to sell it. I actually saw the car this past weekend and it's in my most recent video.
same here in the central Florida area
BodeVision
J
BodeVision g
I saw the thumbnail and was like "oh shit that's this dude's car". Met him at clean culture
The coolest Civic Honda never made, right up there with the glass-top CRX.
Hey super nice job I have a question if you do a type a job like that for a customer are you able to do it? or you just do it for you?
you know what this inspired me to do turn the 2023 integra 4 door into a 2 door
Un espectáculo de proyecto, de los mejores que he visto en mi vida! Good Job Bro!!
This is awesome man alot of work but came out freaking fantastic and the end . 😋👌 ..
I really liked this video I'm definitely going to keep in touch with you when I start my 4dr hatch project
Yo that was crazy, creativity n its finest.
I saw one of these today in North Jersey. I'm wondering if you know how many of these are running around?
Thats bad ass.... great body work... epic color change....
Thanks so much!!
Holy shit!!!! Dude i never knew about this. Man, like you and i have discussed i need you to do my rare rhd conversion.
Beautiful! And pleasantly surprised to see a d go in it!
Yeah man as long as its clean it looks good in my eyes! lol
Hey, you are a great mechanic bro, congrats
Currently in the process of doing one only thing I’m lacking rn is the space to do so , slow progress better then no progress
Thats a build fairplay man flawless should be proud of urself great skills 👍
Man thank you so much i appreciate you watching and thank you for your feedback.
Keep up the good work id like to see wat u do next ill kepp my eye out for u if you have more plans which id say u do with those skills should have alot of ideas but ill subscribe to see wat goes on in the future goodluck 👍
I m worried about reliability of the car, since u have to cut a part, so how much reliable it will be after conversion?
this thing is fucking amazing.... to think honda didnt have this idea until well past this car's "sell buy" date.... Great work bro, its awesome.
Thanks so much man and i have to agree with you lol
Nice dude. Giving me motivation to try and paint my project myself.
yeah man just take your time and youll be good!
Daaaaaam, your like a wizard. That shit came out perfect.seriously do you have a magic wand?
Lol thanks man means a lot!!
BodeVision yo can u please message me, I really need some help on cutting my hatch and my sedan, Hope to hear from u soon! Message me at macfreshbeats@gmail.com
I remember when you had your dap hatch man!! Miss that thing!!
Yeah man the new owner had put a K series in it and now he just has it as a shell sitting. It was a great car and a car that i learned so much with by having. Future builds are coming brother and they will be better than the Dap Hatch. I appreciate the support and thanks for subscribing.
dam broham killed the 4 door hatch i gotta do this one of my goals now
yeah man just go for it ! Make it happen
Sick work man i wish i had the time and funds for something like this
That's sweet man. I'm curious about the interior. Were you able to use parts from both cars to cover it all?
Bro those storage units look like the ones on forthsyth and hanging moss orlando florida and the cars amazing btw
luis romano that's because it is lol. My old shop was there for about 4 years. Thanks so much man!
With your channels current status this would be amazing content, please for the love of God do another one! 💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sick video. What are the specs of the ek like the year and trim ?
oh a sedan to a hatchback. cool.
I know I shouldn't ask but I've been looking for a car that has 3 doors instead of 2 and the only newest car that has that is the Hyundai Veloster and the old Saturns. Now if I wanted something like that like on a Simi old Honda Civic. what would it cost? Thanks for your time.
Very nice. This gives me some ideas for mine.
my dad friend owns this now in middle georgia
Stupid question, I'm not a Honda guy, what's the purpose of this? They only made 2dr hatch of this model from factory?
Great build though.
So I picked up an already cut hatch. Could we work something out and I bring my Sedan and the cut hatch to you? And you make something happen ?
Wow that paint was truly nice! Smooth like glass I usually don't like yellow cars but damn that was a nice paint job. If you did film it all it would be like 400+ hours. Top work im inspired.
Yeah man it was defiantly a big job! Also, for the finish to be like glass is what i go for in all of my paint jobs and its not easy but the outcome is always reflective of the time put in! Thanks for your feedback!
You in the sac area? I swear I seen this thing in traffic today. Had a few eks back in the day so when I seen a 4 door it literally broke my brain haha.
This is your best video bro, this or Taylor rays roof
Looks way better than the current hatch
What current hatch?
@@BodeVision the newer civic hatch
oh i got you, like from honda! I thought you were talking about one of my more recent builds. Thanks man!
That shit is hard did you do it before Honda came out with the new hatch back
Hey bro how much would u charge to do this?
MrSpades401 id imagine it would cost around 20k considering the massive amount of labor. 6 days a week for 4 weeks
How much did the whole process and car cost at the end?
This is tempting maybe i should do this to my sedan
I wonder if this could be done with old corollas such as the gts because the hatches look way cleaner than the coupes
I really like it, great idea... I would of painted it madori green but to each his own
Hey, this video is actually helpful... yes mini videos would be better, but the picture are an amazing feature. Anyway you could show measurements of the cuts?
All I have is the pictures where I took some notes on the body. I can send you some of the pictures that show some of the measurements.

For example the roof drip rails must be extended and you'll have to use drip rail trims from a newer accord.

the best advice based on working within the honda community for so long is the more stock the car is the less issues it will have. I actually wont buy a honda if it has any major modification.
Just from looking at it from the outside it does look like an old stock civic but then again idk what's inside of it
for sure youll just have to see. Goodluck with it!
nice man. one day I hope to go the other way and turn my 2017 civic coupe into a 3 door hatch
Man that would be crazy. A 2017 Civic 3 door hatch.
Wow thats badass bro im not a Honda guy but nice work looks good
thanks man!!
Weird question, but how did you do the interior? Rear seats from a 2 door hatch or just no seats? I want to do this some day when I have time.
Kyle Dailey all the seats stay 4 door. It's all 4 door inside until the hatch.
4 door ek hatch!! Bad ass! Just wish it didn't have the single cam in it
dannyb20 vtec
Hardest part is done, you can always engine swap
Do you provide this as a service? I really badly want this done.lol
A question is also cut the roof or the graft is stuck without cutting the roof?
Would u do this again I would buy this from u cuz no one in the Cayman islands does any good work like this an me being some one that love cars but cant get any thing done where I from
Million views for this man
Do you own this car, or do you know the current owner. I’m interested in purchasing if possible? Or if it isn’t can you do another one for me?
this made me sub, great work!
When sitting the hatch, did you over lap the cuts when welding it?
No, they should form a "butt" weld, to get a cleaner/flush job.
Great work! Looks awesome!
2 door ef coupe next🤤😉
Looks really clean.great job
Thanks a lot bro i appreciate it
Thanks a lot man i appreciate that!
Wao nice job bro!!!!!
Thanks for your feedback man i appreciate it and thank you for watching!
🙌🙌🙌👍👍💪💪💪 no words need it
Are these types of converted cars hard to get insurance on?
Car looks so dang good vtec squad
Thanks so much man i appreciate that!!
This is fuckin sic!!! I want to do one!!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Do you have the measurements?
You could do another one, film it, and offer a template for sale..
how did you go about doing the insides?
Was this at tuner evolution? I remember seeing something like this
Great job looks awesome, but You do know that a 4door hatch exists though? From factory too and as a right hand drive
The Blue Corolla I understand that the old wagons are like that as well as the newest generation. However, 96-00 doesn't come 4 door hatch from factory.
Closest thing is the euro Civic Aerodeck, which is more like a Domani wagon. Your custom job is a better looking car though.
That's amazing! Well done
I appreciate it man!
How much did it cost you to make this?
Awesome build dude👍
Thanks Judas!!
Love it! I'd pay to have this done.
Just curious, would it be cheaper to just buy one?
Fadil Xheka , there was no such thing as a Civic 4dr hatch until 2016
Are those 6ul wheels? Have them on my 03 miata, been seeing them on hondas lately
I'm very late on this but I like it a ton.
