December 9th, 2015

We chose to shoot in the abandoned mills of Lewiston, Maine. The ragged, deteriorating buildings providing an excellent contrast to Brad's immaculate Honda.

What first got you into modifying cars?
I first got into the car scene when I got my own car but like most others, I would read the car magazines (PAS mag, Honda Tuning, Super Street etc)

How long have you owned your Civic so far?
Its now 10 years in my possession.  

What made you choose this Civic over other cars?
I just loved the body style, the fact that the 7th gen isn't as popular as other generations just added to it. 

What has been your inspiration behind this build? 
To build the car for myself. 

What has been the most fun part of the build so far?
Everything to this point has been enjoyable.  

What has been the least enjoyable part?
The time waiting for parts to come up for sale or saving for that next mod. 

What is your favourite modification that you have done?
2005 Front and rear end swaps,but I can't deny the K-Swap has been brilliant.      

Do you have any more plans for the car?
Absolutely, there is still so much more to come. Hoping to have a new look for 2016!

Do you have anyone you would to thank?
"The Boys" - my car family, each and everyone of you helped so much I appreciate it. I don't know what I would have done without the help. 
Thanks to my wonderful wife for all the support, wanted or not... Loved or hated she has put up with my "the car has come this far, more to come"
Pop thanks for all the help and support. Those times when I wanted to give up but you had that "old timer" advice and helped me get through it.
