Well been a long time since i was on here!! Some of you may remember my old builds... heres a bried history! Sorry for the amount of pictures 
My first eg was a 1.5 non vtec that i bought when i was 17, absolutely loved that car and put so much time and money into it, ended up with a jdm d15b swap, full ITR subframe, suspension and Cusco coilovers, full ITR interior, Racing Sparco wheels, all the import bits i could get my hands on!! Then it died
After that i bought a standard Thunder Grey eg5 and swapped all the parts over from my green one, later doing a 5 stud itr hub swap with ek9 wheels and putting on a Spoon Street, got bored of this car though and the bodywork was really letting it down so i put it back to standard and sold everything
At this time i had already bought an eg3 off one of my friends... was a non runner, engine died on his journey home after just buying the car! Shell was really clean though and was one i had always wanted, non sunroof, no bump strips! So i bought the car, put it in my garage and took it to bits, right back to a bare shell. My original plan was to build an all out track car, bought a Cusco cage, Tein coilovers, all adjustable suspension arms, Nsx brakes, 2 fixed buckets, Takata harness etc etc but just lost interest in it as i had bought my EP3 by this point. Ended up selling just about everything and K24'ing my EP3, but still had the shell
Couple pics of my EP3 if anyones interested... still got this. Put a K24 into it, Toda manifold + straight centre section, had a Spoon n1 but put a standard backbox back on it for winter, K-pro, Quiafe LSD, lowering springs, camber adjusters, now got red ek9 Recaros, red jdm floormats - spent too much money on this!
Then a few weeks ago a damaged EG6 came up for sale, was perfect for what i wanted as it had all the mechanicals and interior, plus a couple goodies which i could swap into my good shell. The sir is really too far gone to be saved, floors all kinked, pillar is pushed it - the car took out a postbox on the left hand side and a lamppost on the other!! Some of the suspension is damaged too but luckily the coilover on that side is fine, which is all i was really bothered about
Car has a pretty good spec:
TCS - not seen many with that!
Air con
Climate control
ABS
Late spec black interior
Gathers rear speakers
Boot box and both side ones are still there
Tein control master flex coilovers
Exhaust of some kind, under axle - not sure if ill keep this!
ITR gear linkages
Maybe more, thats all ive found so far!
Just started taking it apart, plan is to get the red shell rolling again, then get the engine bay painted and put the b16 into it and get it running, then get the rest of the car painted, put the interior etc in and find some wheels and other goodies for it!
