HAHAHA... well I want to be able to buy parts easily and I want it to be a true daily driver, hopefully with working air conditioning and power steering, etc...
Plus I have a nice K20a from my old Honda Civic Type-R (EP3) which I can now swap into my wagon in my own garage...

Re: Blue-Civic-Hybrid 1975 CVCC Wagon Project
LaLa,
The front end will require a little metal work, front fenders must be extended 1.5 to 1.75 inches and the hood will require the same metal extension. Other than that, the front end where the lights and grill live "should" bolt onto the existing Honda structure.
I'll update more this week when I drop by my fabricator's shop to check on the progress.

Re: Blue-Civic-Hybrid 1975 CVCC Wagon Project
Are you planning on using the stock front grill & bumper?
Is there any difference in fender lenght between the different years of cvcc models? The 75s look alittle shorter than my 78 wagon.

Re: Blue-Civic-Hybrid 1975 CVCC Wagon Project
Yes, the whole goal is to use all stock grill/front end/etc.. to the max. Trying to make it look as OEM as possible with a hidden powerful engine and modern handling.
As for the fender length, the CVCC fenders are about 2 to 3 inches longer than 1200/1500 basic NON-CVCC cars. That is as far as I know...
