The first step for me was to tear it down the rest of the way and get it in my garage so I could work on it. So I removed both doors, the hood, the fender, and completely gutted the interior. And I mean completely. I personally had never done this before, so I took my time and tried to make sure I did everything correct. The only thing I left in place was the harness's so I could install the new ones at the same time to ensure I ran everything correctly and made it fairly OEM.The below pics show the heater core and blower motor still in the car, but in order to remove the harness I actually had to remove them as well.

Since I was messin with all this wiring and I had no intentions of keeping SRS or ABS I went ahead and removed all the wiring associated with it. I was also removing PS so I found a company on ebay that sells re-manufactured racks and picked up a 92-95 Civic CX rack so I could do it correctly. Another hint of advise for anyone who does this in the future - the manual rack has a different size pinion that the PS rack so you need a manual rack joint. This is the joint that bolts between the rack and the steering column. I had to learn this the hard way as well. The OBD1 wiring harness is very similar to t he obd2 so the install/ swap was fairly simple. And all said and done, IMO well worth the little extra work it was to do the conversion. Here are a couple pics of the interior going back together.

Once I had gotten that far I decided I may as well throw in the seats and get the steering column back in so I could get it lookin like a real car again.Keep in mind that I am still waiting for a few parts before I can install the rear/hatch interior. And am also waiting for my JDM ITR steering wheel in the mail.

The next step for me was to start prepping the engine bay. Which meant removing all the ABS crap, and the OEM clutch line. I Found a prop valve on ebay and bought all OEM Honda Brake lines so I could keep it fairly factory looking. However since the prop valve was from a different model car it took a little modding to get it all hooked up. Overall looks fine to me. Also I ordered a Stainless Braided Clutch line which should be here in the next couple days - but it can go in later.I also did a real nice mod to the valve for the heater core. Since I am keeping heat I wanted to eliminate that big bulky braket that honda uses. All I did was cut a piece of hose and put the valve tight against the heater core. I had to cut the wire for the valve and rewrap it tot he valve lever, but really turned out nice IMO. Here is just a quick pic of the bay now.

Did you call the place you ordered it from? If it's a reputable/good co. they should take care of you.

Its all being covered! I had the option of either returning the engine, or buying the parts needed and getting reimbursed the cost. I chose to buy the parts!

Just waiting on the new cams and gears, and the new timing components so I can install the swap. Still haven't gotten my parts from Swags04 though. He hasn't even forwarded me tracking, but he claims he shipped via fed ex on wedneday or thursday. Should be here today!!

I am enjoying my build and restore process. I have always loved to start new projects. Granted it is extremely time consuming and you are bound to spend a little money. But if your able to enjoy yourself and stay out of trouble in the process, it is worth it in the end. There is no better feeling than finishing a big project and hearing it start for the first time. Then you look back and say to yourself "I BUILT THIS".

exactly the same perspective i have. its the reason i deal with the rattling, vibration, and random things that constantly need maintenance. also may i add i spent 10k on a car that competes pretty well with vehicles in the 30k range. i love seeing the "wtf" look on someones face.
