Civic vti mb6 barn find
Discussion
So a couple of weeks ago I was mooching around a caravan storage site with the inlaws when I spotted this hiding in a unit. So I decided to track down the owner and make him an offer. It had been standing for a good couple of years so it's needed a bit of tinkering to get it back roadworthy. It's covered 52k mile with FSH and mots to back it up and I was pleasantly surprised with the overall condition. I'll add some more pictures once I've given it a good clean up
Haha tell me about it! It was a lucky find I guess lol. 
So far I've had to fit new disks, pads and a front offside caliper as it wouldn't stop. I fitted a new battery and then 15 minutes of running and the alternator decided to burn out so I replaced that as well, the rocker cover could do with powder coating but this can wait as next year it will be getting ripped out anyway. There's plenty of dust and dead bugs under the bonnet haha! It's now mot'd and on the road. And some new goodies are on order!

Yours looks like it still has rear arches so that's a step above mine. Was good fun, only had it a few months then punted it on. First FWD with an LSD(or whatever these have, I can't remember) I'd had. Quite good fun in the twisties but I never bonded with it in the same way I did with some other cars.
