Great body work, I got in an argument when I showed my brother this build of "It's easy, just cut and weld" he didn't understand what I was getting at with all the trouble it is to 'do it right'. Great job.
K3NnY_G lol ask about about the fuel filler door, the mounting of the bumper crash bar, extending the roof drip rail trim, the working of all the lights, signals, getting the trunk release latch to work with the oem pop release next to the drivers seat, making sure the back bumper lined up to the new wheel arch. Also the cabin pressure release flaps. There's is a lot involved to do something like this. Thanks so much for watching and for sticking up for the process lol.
i remember when there was a photo floating around a honda facebook group and people were saying it was photoshopped. then all of a sudden real ones started popping up on youtube.
I saw this car on Boostedboiz' channel I believe, couldn't believe how well done it was. You could've told me it was like this from factory, and I would have believed you. Insane idea meets insanely talented and patient people... This is what truly brings new stuff to the table.
This actually makes me wish that they made a 5 Door hatchback version of these Civics! This looks like it belongs and would be great for hauling the family around with the usefulness of a hatch but the fun of a Civic. Nice paint as well and I dig the EK4 SiR front/rear bumpers.
Mohan Chellaswamy freshness makes a diffrence not everbody will agree with the creativity. stop hating man allow people do what they want with there own shit nobody living to please your opinions aiight. take care!
@@BodeVision first one i saw was a white one in miami but it also had some suzuki front end. Only time ive seen it.... real unicorn. Apparently Honda sold suzuki their ek and they rebadged it with a diff front end but was only a yr or two so even to this day i cant even find a pic of the suzuki version but seent it person.... props on the channel shitty i only just found it
I seen this car in a vid of h2o or another car show and thought thats exactly what you did, came out sick and is unique and one of a kind great job man...
Damn that turned out good. Miss my ek civic. Had lathers brakes, spax adjustable coilovers, camber adjust kit, poly bushes, strut braces front and back but just the stock engine which I planned to swap. Sadly along came my 2nd child and the Mrs forced me to sell it for a family wagon :( 10 years later I still miss it
I love this conversion. I fell in love with it from the first day I saw it. Great job. I wanted to see if you were going to brace the 1/4's from the body twisting or warping(at least put a rear strut bar in). But I guess there wasn't much flex.
JOEGGGJOE the main structure of the car is in the flor and the pillars so I didn't brace anything during the process of removing the old trunk section. Once it was all done I braced it all with strips of 18 gauge sheet metal and stictch welded it. I wish I had some pictures of that but unfortunately I do not.
Jp Custodio yeah man the current owner/ who I sold the car to is trying to sell it. I actually saw the car this past weekend and it's in my most recent video.
5 Door hatch LOL Slick work.Nice job. Catching up on your videos.Good stuff Remind People to like and subscribe at the end of your videos.Build the base!
BodeVision yo can u please message me, I really need some help on cutting my hatch and my sedan, Hope to hear from u soon! Message me at macfreshbeats@gmail.com
Keep up the good work id like to see wat u do next ill kepp my eye out for u if you have more plans which id say u do with those skills should have alot of ideas but ill subscribe to see wat goes on in the future goodluck 👍
Yeah man the new owner had put a K series in it and now he just has it as a shell sitting. It was a great car and a car that i learned so much with by having. Future builds are coming brother and they will be better than the Dap Hatch. I appreciate the support and thanks for subscribing.
Hey, this video is actually helpful... yes mini videos would be better, but the picture are an amazing feature. Anyway you could show measurements of the cuts?
All I have is the pictures where I took some notes on the body. I can send you some of the pictures that show some of the measurements. Also if you're thinking about doing this conversion understand there's issues I didn't cover. For example the roof drip rails must be extended and you'll have to use drip rail trims from a newer accord. Thanks for your feedback I really appreciate it!
Wow that paint was truly nice! Smooth like glass I usually don't like yellow cars but damn that was a nice paint job. If you did film it all it would be like 400+ hours. Top work im inspired.
Yeah man it was defiantly a big job! Also, for the finish to be like glass is what i go for in all of my paint jobs and its not easy but the outcome is always reflective of the time put in! Thanks for your feedback!
You in the sac area? I swear I seen this thing in traffic today. Had a few eks back in the day so when I seen a 4 door it literally broke my brain haha.
oh a sedan to a hatchback. cool. I know I shouldn't ask but I've been looking for a car that has 3 doors instead of 2 and the only newest car that has that is the Hyundai Veloster and the old Saturns. Now if I wanted something like that like on a Simi old Honda Civic. what would it cost? Thanks for your time.
Would u do this again I would buy this from u cuz no one in the Cayman islands does any good work like this an me being some one that love cars but cant get any thing done where I from
I need to swap out some work with someone with some welding skills I have a four door I don't really care for. I miss my old ek hatch but I have kids now lol. Just gave my step son my eh2 , my own son wants my Sentra se-r spec-v b15. And my youngest wants my old trooper. My girls just want anything that drives lol. But this would be perfect for me.
The Blue Corolla I understand that the old wagons are like that as well as the newest generation. However, 96-00 doesn't come 4 door hatch from factory.
You're one hell bodyman! You ran threw it li ke it was nothing but I know damn well it was an evolved process. Looks amazing tho..good job man.
Thanks so much man i appreciate that!!
Do a 4door e.g. Hatch that would be sweet
Great body work, I got in an argument when I showed my brother this build of "It's easy, just cut and weld" he didn't understand what I was getting at with all the trouble it is to 'do it right'.

So weird seeing your older Content without the cool random intro channel of TH-cam..TBodeVision
I think it looks great never seen a 4 door conversion before but you put alot of time to perfect it bravo.
Wow it’s the only one I have ever seen great job
Thanks so much man i appreciate that!!
Shawn Jacobi uyt7
In Puerto Rico there's two 4 door hatch back. , a Black one and a Jeep Green color one
This is the best hatch conversion example I’ve seen for the ek
This actually makes me wish that they made a 5 Door hatchback version of these Civics! This looks like it belongs and would be great for hauling the family around with the usefulness of a hatch but the fun of a Civic. Nice paint as well and I dig the EK4 SiR front/rear bumpers.
looks dope! i always hated the 96 sedan ugly ass rear. 99-2000 hella pretty good job!
HaterHurter sirG345 thanks man I appreciate the feedback and I agree. The 99-00 rear and domani rear is so much better
HaterHurter sirG345 I agree
HaterHurter sirG345 I agree
HaterHurter sirG345 dude hatchbacks r shit. JDMs need sedans

Yass!!! I've seen one on Photoshop. Finally, someone put in the work.
There's a handful out there of them out there. Im glad you came across mine. Thanks for the feed back man!

First Time Seen Or Hearing About This. All I Can Say Is "Speachless & Mad Props.."
DoughBoy PillzBerry thanks so much man really, means more than you know!!
I seen this car in a vid of h2o or another car show and thought thats exactly what you did, came out sick and is unique and one of a kind great job man...
The coolest Civic Honda never made, right up there with the glass-top CRX.
Damn that turned out good. Miss my ek civic. Had lathers brakes, spax adjustable coilovers, camber adjust kit, poly bushes, strut braces front and back but just the stock engine which I planned to swap.
Sadly along came my 2nd child and the Mrs forced me to sell it for a family wagon :( 10 years later I still miss it
Dope af. Short and simple , and best of all done right.
Wow very nice and clean! Honda should have offered this from factory!
They do now
Creativity.... freaking insane 4 dr hatch
Again I'm seeing this video and can't get over how well its done
😂plot twist when he said “this ones also gonna be no good”
Daniel Fuentes lol if i undersold it I knew I couldn't loose
I love this conversion. I fell in love with it from the first day I saw it. Great job. I wanted to see if you were going to brace the 1/4's from the body twisting or warping(at least put a rear strut bar in). But I guess there wasn't much flex.

Holy shit!!!! Dude i never knew about this. Man, like you and i have discussed i need you to do my rare rhd conversion.
Yo that was crazy, creativity n its finest.
Currently in the process of doing one only thing I’m lacking rn is the space to do so , slow progress better then no progress
Hey super nice job I have a question if you do a type a job like that for a customer are you able to do it? or you just do it for you?

Nice dude. Giving me motivation to try and paint my project myself.
yeah man just take your time and youll be good!
I really liked this video I'm definitely going to keep in touch with you when I start my 4dr hatch project

4 door ek hatch!! Bad ass! Just wish it didn't have the single cam in it
dannyb20 vtec
Hardest part is done, you can always engine swap
Looks way better than the current hatch
What current hatch?
@@BodeVision the newer civic hatch
oh i got you, like from honda! I thought you were talking about one of my more recent builds. Thanks man!
Hey bro how much would u charge to do this?
MrSpades401 id imagine it would cost around 20k considering the massive amount of labor. 6 days a week for 4 weeks
I saw one of these today in North Jersey. I'm wondering if you know how many of these are running around?
2 door ef coupe next🤤😉
Very nice. This gives me some ideas for mine.
That shit is hard did you do it before Honda came out with the new hatch back
Seen pics of this a little while ago, didn’t know it was real.
I wonder if this could be done with old corollas such as the gts because the hatches look way cleaner than the coupes
Wow thats badass bro im not a Honda guy but nice work looks good
thanks man!!
Sick video. What are the specs of the ek like the year and trim ?
nice man. one day I hope to go the other way and turn my 2017 civic coupe into a 3 door hatch
Man that would be crazy. A 2017 Civic 3 door hatch.
You in the sac area? I swear I seen this thing in traffic today. Had a few eks back in the day so when I seen a 4 door it literally broke my brain haha.
This is tempting maybe i should do this to my sedan
That's sweet man. I'm curious about the interior. Were you able to use parts from both cars to cover it all?
Looks really clean.great job
Thanks a lot bro i appreciate it
Thanks a lot man i appreciate that!
Million views for this man
I really like it, great idea... I would of painted it madori green but to each his own
Stupid question, I'm not a Honda guy, what's the purpose of this? They only made 2dr hatch of this model from factory?
Great build though.
This is fuckin sic!!! I want to do one!!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Do you have the measurements?
You could do another one, film it, and offer a template for sale..
Car looks so dang good vtec squad
Thanks so much man i appreciate that!!
oh a sedan to a hatchback. cool.
I know I shouldn't ask but I've been looking for a car that has 3 doors instead of 2 and the only newest car that has that is the Hyundai Veloster and the old Saturns. Now if I wanted something like that like on a Simi old Honda Civic. what would it cost? Thanks for your time.
Wao nice job bro!!!!!
Thanks for your feedback man i appreciate it and thank you for watching!
Awesome build dude👍
Thanks Judas!!
this made me sub, great work!
How much did the whole process and car cost at the end?
Love it! I'd pay to have this done.
Do you provide this as a service? I really badly want this done.lol
I m worried about reliability of the car, since u have to cut a part, so how much reliable it will be after conversion?
Great work! Looks awesome!
Would u do this again I would buy this from u cuz no one in the Cayman islands does any good work like this an me being some one that love cars but cant get any thing done where I from
how did you go about doing the insides?
Very cool build,now it just needs a k series in it lol
Yeah man would be killer. Just wouldnt get my money back out of it if i threw another 5 grand at it.
🙌🙌🙌👍👍💪💪💪 no words need it
I'm very late on this but I like it a ton.
Was this at tuner evolution? I remember seeing something like this
That's amazing! Well done
I appreciate it man!
A question is also cut the roof or the graft is stuck without cutting the roof?
I need to swap out some work with someone with some welding skills I have a four door I don't really care for. I miss my old ek hatch but I have kids now lol. Just gave my step son my eh2 , my own son wants my Sentra se-r spec-v b15. And my youngest wants my old trooper. My girls just want anything that drives lol. But this would be perfect for me.
When sitting the hatch, did you over lap the cuts when welding it?
No, they should form a "butt" weld, to get a cleaner/flush job.
Great job looks awesome, but You do know that a 4door hatch exists though? From factory too and as a right hand drive
The Blue Corolla I understand that the old wagons are like that as well as the newest generation. However, 96-00 doesn't come 4 door hatch from factory.
Closest thing is the euro Civic Aerodeck, which is more like a Domani wagon. Your custom job is a better looking car though.
Are these types of converted cars hard to get insurance on?
How much did it cost you to make this?
Came out nice broo
So I picked up an already cut hatch. Could we work something out and I bring my Sedan and the cut hatch to you? And you make something happen ?
great work bro!
