K20 1990 Honda Civic EF: Golden Chassis

Hello everyone,
In this awesome episode we meet Robert and his gorgeous red Civic hatch. We all remember how we got started in the car world. For Robert, when he was in high school he fell in love with the EF chassis, especially the hatch. Years down the road as he was approaching his 40th birthday he knew it was time to gift himself an awesome gift. Well, it took a fly to Indiana and he found his present. A gorgeous kswaped civic hatch. What can we say? We love kswaps and we love EFs. I am glad he gifted this car and hope he continues to take it out. Thank you Robert for your time and attention. Thank you all for the support to #automotiveanatomy

I was more of a different approach I fell in love with the four-door sedan with this shape and style. I always wanted one and there are very hard to find. Now 2020, I finally found a 1990 Honda Civic LX sedan with red exterior red interior with 5-speed manual. Love it.
