1997 Honda Civic DX Hatchback

Honda Civic hatchback K20A Type-R Project.

Last Update: July 17, 2023

It is a Canadian Specification LHD Honda Civic. It started life with a D-series engine, automatic, and manual roll-up windows. As some point it was imported to Aruba and went through various swaps. I purchased it abandoned missing the engine, transmission, axles & lots of other parts.

This project was a resto-mod & a K20 swap combined. 99% of the new parts are original Honda parts. Below is the modification list of the car.

Selling Price: Fls. 35.000. Price is non-negotiable. Price will increase as the car is further modified.

Payment plan is available. Car is released after full payment.

REALITY OF A SWAPPED CAR
Note: the list below might change if issues are corrected. However note that the car will be sold “As-Is”.
General: It is not a show car.
It has almost all sound deadening material removed from the body. It is loud inside and it will rattle a lot due to its polyurethane engine mount bushings.
Driver-side roll-up window needs alignment.
Door cards are repaired but are not perfect (common Civic problem).
Car delays to start if the battery is low. Battery always needs to be fully charged.
Roof liner needs to be re-upholstered.
