#355215 Hey guys, its been a while since I posted on here but I have got my self another project.
My favourite as always automatics as they are cheaper than manuals and a coddle to convert.
Its a 93 eg5 d16z6 vtec, 51k miles on the clocks and belonged to they same family from new. the body work is a bit tatty and needs some attention.
To the pics

Engine removed and the bay cleaned up
Image
New gearbox
Image
And auto-manual mount
Image
Image
The rear bumper was removed as the rear arches are to be replaced.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
The inner arches need replacing too
Image
My ek9 donated the steel required
Image
Image
Image
Image
And sealed, just need to weld the new arch on

#355372 Nice work! Is this your first EG? Rear arches turned out great, I'd have guessed that you had done the repairs sometime before. :thumb:
