Aisha Christian originally bought the 1997 Honda Civic hatchback as an empty shell in 2012. Slowly but surely over the years, Christian built the car herself in the garage, only accepting help from her boyfriend (for some of the seriously heavy lifting). Today, the car is fully-built making ample power and looking like a true show-stopper.
