remember the plan at this point was still D series boost... got a call from my mechanic one day saying that he found gold lol ... in jamaica B16a's are sold daily, but the b18c1 is very hard to find
he told me he heard of a b18c1 civic that had met in an accident and may be scraping. this was on saturday, the car apparantly crashed the night before. i arrived at the location where the car was on Saturday afternoon and the gearbox was already gone and the engine was out
i quickly made a decision, wasn't sure where the other parts were coming from for the B conversion but was sure i wanted it.
my turbo kit, d series clutch kit, d series hose set, d series engine and d series poly engine mount inserts were now forsale

sprayed rack and pinion, stabilizer bar and subframe.
if you look to the left of the first pic, you will see a black car with a green rim. that is the crashed b18c1 eg civic that i got the engine from. went back for the car so i could get the remaining parts for the conversion, based on the fact these were proving hard to get..
stuff like, pedals, shifter linkage, A/C hosing, axles, clutch master cylinder reservoir etc.

my intention was to wait for the car to be finished and then go on a ramp and have the undercarriage sprayed...
