Default project resurecting civic

ok so some of you may have seen my phone pic of my civic



Well I tried to repaint it, but I ran into some huge difficulties. The paint flaked and peeled. So I've decided to do a complete overhaul on the ol' civic.
this is what happened when I tried to remove the old paint.

I obviously have a long way to go with the sanding. I also need to add more putty in some places.

My plans: I'm going to smooth out the body, get rid of the sunroof (I already sanded and added putty), I'm filling in the "air dams" in the front and rear, and I'm trying to decide which way to hinge the doors.

or I have a model kit to make them "lambo" like this:


I'm thinkin the lambo style since I havent seen an xmod with that style.
What do you think?
