My first EG hatch

By poorman type-r
- Thu Jun 23, 2011 12:30 am #260458 Alright guys well my friend moved to Vegas and couldnt afford to take his hatch with him so he is selling to me. It's a 92 cx, i will have this thread updated constantly when i go back to work in August but for now i thought i would show some pics from what it is now to what it is going to become. I have a lot of work to do, but i'm picking it up for $500 so i'm pretty excited. ha :thumb:

17" rims in the back, getting rid of them and getting Rota Circuit 8's.

Image
D16Y7, still need some parts to complete it.

Image
From my research its a VIS hood, needs some restoration lol

Image
What do you guys think of the inside? I was thinking about stripping the interior completely. Good or bad idea in 100+ degree weather? lol

Little rust on the roof, right above the hatch. :thumbdown:

- Thu Jun 23, 2011 12:58 am #260467 that wouldn't be a bad idea. unless you could score some from a junkyard. i've never really seen anyone try to sell those on the internet or anything.

- Thu Jun 23, 2011 7:15 am #260531 if you're keeping the car outside for a long period of time, you might want to put some actual paint on top of the primer, or it will rust again. primer sucks in water and will cause it to rust again.

on the other hand, i don't know how humid/how much it rains where you live.
