Restoration Honda Civic 2007 FD1

[chinyoti]

Hello and Eid Mubarak too all

Starting off with another project car.

Got my hands on this car around 14th of May
This is a 2007 Honda Civic been in the family brand new since 2007.

Base Spec Honda Civic VTi Prosmatec / Hard top

The car went thru a low quality restoration around 2 years back and the dummy changed its original color that is NH615M (Canyon Stone Silver) to some random Grey bluish shade

Also the car had heating issues since atleast 2017.

All kinds of noise, Check engine light, Suspension worse then that off a Suzuki Mehran.

All sorts of leakages in the engine room.

Alot of cut and fix engine room wiring.

Initially,

The plan is to fix it mechanically and restore it to its original color and Honda Glory at original or OEM specs.

-The car needs a suspension overhaul.

-Despite the engine heating, it's in good condition and still on its genuine Gasket. Which seems in perfect condition.

-The AC doesn't work.

-Has a missing 4th Alloy wheel

-Alot of oil leak.

-Paint Job

-New shoes

-Interior Restoration

Will be starting off from suspension works and let's see how do things go.

First things first.

Got it washed. Initially the paint work seems in decent condition just some dings and dangs.

Your ideas are clearly presented, and I completely agree

First gift while getting the car home. Someone pointed out to me on the road that the tire didn't have air.

But I kept driving to find the nearest pump. Unfortunately getting out of submarine underpass and knowing that the car didn't have a spare wheel, I kept going. Driving it to the last breath.

Now the car has only 3 tires. Had to purchase a used scrap tire since it was around 10 pm.

Started with suspension works today.

Front left Spring is broken into 2 peices. Noise from lower arms, and most probably shock absorbers are fried too.

Then next step would be too look into engine room oil leakages.

After the suspension the car is smooth. The gear had zero oil. Topped it up with 2nd hand oil just to check if there are any leakages.

While doing suspension work, All four engine and gear foundations / Mounts were also replaced.

While replacing the top right, Power Steering Oil bottle was damaged aswell.

The car will go to the electritian, For now we have sorted out check engine light. (which was due to a bad temperature sensor on the radiator).

Alot of wiring in this car is a mess.

SPARK PLUG coils 3 out of 4 are damaged. So genuinely their is missing.

Have sorted out engine Heating and air-conditioning aswell.

Before Eid I got the windscreen buffed aswell since it was impossible to drive.

Where did you geth the suspension work done from? I believe someone in ph2?

[chinyoti]

Yes, Faisal in phase 2 extension.

[pwuser153796752163]

I'm looking for someone to diagnose a steering problem with the same car, is your guy good? I go to Gul Mohd at phase 2, opposite blue ribbon, he is yet to figure out this particular problem.

[chinyoti]

Depends if you are willing to replace oem parts or relay on these guys fixing mix and match parts

I got my Corolla e140s steering fixed, The guy I got my work done from previously said it had Corolla Axios steering rack fixed to it.

Faisal said it has 2014/2025 Corollas steering rack fixed to it.

So ideally when installing I'm usually working at my office and work is being done.

Either you go and agree with him. For new parts or you purchase parts and they install it for you.

I'll share faisals number if you want.

The shop is located in the K ELECTRIC office lane. And alot of small works can be done simultaneously at the same spot. So the place suits me.
