Default My new car.. 56K Beware..

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but heres some pictures of my car.

After I did the wheels and such:














Interior, before I cleaned it:










After removing the seats and cleaning all the hair and nasty stuff out:








Motor:


And my afro-engineered door handle:



It's not too bad for a awesome running 90 Honda Civic with 116k, that was only $400. I like it and it has some pretty good potential. I'll keep this post updated with new pics. It needs a few things like tires and other stuff, and definately some seat covers. I painted the middle shifter cover and the radio dash plastic you see that is black, it was blue.

Story on the car:
My dad works with this woman, and her sister had this car. She was a woman that pretty much had no cleaning ability, and liked to carry dogs and such. It smelled like somebody had been roastin butthole in it, and the rear cargo carpet was soaking wet with dog stuff, and hair and dust was everywhere. The dash was covered in stuffed animals that melted to the dash, and I'm unsure how to get that off..

Note:
I was pulling the rear cargo area plastic off to that I could clean it, and the inside of the plastic where the body work has a dip cut out was full of water. The tailight seal has been leaking and let water in. Good thing I caught it before it was too late and messed something up. (wires were running in the water) I'll get some pics tomorrow of it so I can explain it better.

What do you guys think?

Very nice clean up job on it. I never get time to do that with my car. Seeing I just returned from Iraq. I dont have all that time to spend cleaning my car. Maybe later on I will get some time to do it.

Thanks guys! I actually just got done gutting the interior to clean it. Pulling the seats weren't enough for me. I took the carpet out and sprayed it down with degreeser and the pressure washed it clean, looks really nice now and only has a few stains because I was too lazy to scrub them.

i think it would be sick to get some 15's on it and then lower it and do a motor swap with a turbo and tint the windows with a decent exhaust and you are set for one hell of a sleeper
