well this is my first full build/project car i have owned this car 3 different times. I think it is time to do somthing with it........
the day i got it back threw some meshes on it and a tranny in it the previous owner locked it up.

EDIT:
NEW PICS ON PAGE 6
show the car coming back from body work.

NEW PICS ON PAGE 8
show tear down of rhd clip.

i will keep updating as i get stuff done.

this is where the steering wheel will soon be ^^^^^

this is the wrong side of the car for the steering wheel^^^^

day one starts by stripping the front end with the help of my 2 boys this boy is 2

and the 4 year old he love to take bolts out and just leave them on the floor.

right front fender and head light removed

left fender removed and head light gone lame z3 fenders are in the dumpster so they will never bee on a nother car again....

wipers and cowl removed ready to pull wiper motor

alright wipers out and the 2 year old chearing him on

day 2 starts by stripping the interior (blue) and going in to the dumpster

the boys hanging out

seats and rear plastic all out

and the pile of blue junk going in the dumpster and the daily beater. if you must know its a 96 acura 3.5 rl fully loaded, gotta love heated seats

You've sold and bought back that car 3 times? Or its your 3rd EG hatch?

twistedimage · 01-23-2007, 09:57 AM

sold and bought it back 3 times i have probally had 20+eg civics

first time i owned it i swaped in a ls swap and the original fenders were crushed bad so i replaced with m3 fiberglass ones because it was all i had.. pulled the ls swaped in a dx motor and sold it.. then the next owner swaped the fenders with the newer style metal z3 fenders and drove it for awhile then i got it back let my buddy drive it for 2 months then we got his cope running. then sold the hatch to another guy he had it for 2 weeks and locked up the tranny. so i traded him a da i had for it. thew on some meshes and a used tranny i had laying around, drove it home and started stripping it.

Fuster_Cluck · 01-25-2007, 01:53 PM

What motor are you going with? You've got a lot of work but looks like you're in a good spot. Do you own the shop? When are you expecting the clip?

Good luck

twistedimage · 01-25-2007, 09:15 PM

most of the pics are in my grage. some are at the shop where i work. i work for toyota!!!! make me love my hondas even more. and then thers a big shop my buddy rents we use to .

i have pics havent got them up loaded yet. have dash out and most of the heater box out..

i drove it to the local window shop to have the windows removed, you shold have seen the looks i got
no hood, bumper, head lights, fenders no interior but a seat and a steering wheel. gonna pick it up in the morning and drop the motor out at work. its just so much easyier to do with a lift.
