Post YOUR Coupe here

#291791 Hey guys, I haven't been on here for a while due to work/family commitments. Anyway I have some space to build another project on my drive way, so I went arse first and bought an engine conversion before a car but I waited and waited for one to pop up and I came up with this, not bad for £250 ($330)
after an early morning drive to leeds with a mate, we have finally got my new project back home and i am chuffed to bits and can't wait to rip it apart.
its a 95 ej2 coupe tin top with manual windows and 86068 miles, it came with the ironing board on the boot, a full stainless system and toyo sports stainless manifold, k&n filter, momo steering wheel and boss, lowered on coilover sleeves, sir front lip, a bit of rust on the rear arches and cd player
heres how it came to me:-

after finally digging the shipping container i use as a workshop in my backgarden and wired up the heater, i have set about working on the b16a conversion i bought a few weeks ago.
anyhow the lump came with a whole load of other parts including y21 lsd gearbox, shafts, del sol linkage, full wiring loom, p30 ecu, radiator, front and rear disk set up, front subframe with steering rack and arb, strut brace, front and rear del sol shocks with ebay coilover sleeves ::) and some other bits and bobs.
the rear disk set up included a set of d2 rear camber adjustment arms, the fronts have an unbranded set all for £450.
anyway some pics:-

Up to now I have removed the park bench off the bootlid, give it a good hoovering, I will be removing the seats and fitting my prelude ones in the morning and then start ripping the engine out. More to follow.

#291989 Cheers for the comments guys
just a quick update from today, I was sick of the prelude seats getting dirty in my workshop so I decided to rip the old seats out, clean the carpet and fit the Lude seats.
Don't worry the steering wheel and shifter/dildo will be going
