Default Ek slow build

hello there well its not much of a build but just wanted to share what i've been working on for the past 5 months. This was a Bday gift , i got the car Dec 1 2010. I'm trying to build the car for a Weekend car, im trying to do this under a low budget do to personal reasons so bear with me here. Here's some info on the car pls if you have any negative comments make sure you link me to your build thread so I could see how it's done thank you.

when purchased
1999 Honda Civic Cx
original motor (rebuilt with 150 miles )

next I went out and got a driver side pole and started to prepare the car for re-repair took the dash out , started to remove the paint all the way to metal since I saw a thread saying that the paint from that color DAP comes off and starts chipping so i decided to repaint everything
