New Peoject!! First civic build, slow build

- Tue Jan 31, 2012 5:54 pm #292750 Got the car by trading around was in pretty bad shape when I got it! The passenger fender was missing, corner light, and the corner off the bumper cover! As well as a huge dent in the passenger door and quarter panel, got to love northern cars also so got the lovely rear wheel arch rust! Other than having the stock muffler hacked off it was all stock so a great starting point I figured. Looking to make it a all go not much show kinda car.

Here's what it looked like when I got it:

Just found a 93 ex coupe for sale has a blown head gasket, dude only wants 900 :thumb: for it body is in a little better shape than my current thinkin bout gettin it. Either swaping some body panels to my 94 or doin a motor swap! Dont care to use his motor, since it currently has a tubro on it that he thinks is from ebay, maybe yank it and set it aside to build for a tubro set-up! :twisted:

Got a donor car that its body is in alittle better shape but just goin to use it for parts. Came with the stock d16z6 that the guy blew the head gasket. Has a eBay turbo kit goin to pull the motor, trans and rebuild to a turbo ready setup

Found out the donor not only has the turbo kit but it has struts with coilover sleeves, that I am putting on the car till I can get my coilovers. Also after closer inspection found out it has rear disk so taking them too!! :woot:
