#358275 Introducing my new money pit.
My 1991 Honda Civic DX Hatch ED6.
His name is Timothy.
Picked him up for $200! :D
Had a blown Head Gasket, was fixed with blue devil by previous owner. Works, so I'll leave it for now.

Needs:
Hood Hinges
Misc. Interior Plastics
New Passenger fender
Corner Lights (ordered)
One headlight bulb
Thermostat (?)

Other than that, this car drives like a dream. 4 speed cable trans, manual steering, and I love it.
Can't go wrong for $200.

the day I got it:

Then, I painted the hood gloss black.
Straightened out the passenger fender somewhat and vacuumed out the interior.

Image
Image
Image
Image

Some more pics of the exterior. Needs some love. The roof might get the gloss black treatment.
Image
Image

Wet-sanded the hood today with 600 grit scotch brite. rubbed off all the gloss, but its ok. I'll just leave it like this for now.

Image
Image

Painted the front bumper matte black
Rusted the fender because I think its cool as shit
Image

Mounted my brother's old oil cooler, it's not hooked up to anything yet. Once again because I think its cool as shit.
Image
Image

And drilled some holes bc I think it looks cool as shit. I think you get the gist of this build now.
Image
Image

Oh, also installed this radio bezel that came in today.
Just need a block-off plate now.

Image
Image

stay tuned :wink: :wink: :wink: :D :D :D

#358295 you have a nice place to have project cars. i wish i had a yard like that.

perfect place to practice the body work.
if i were you, i would try to learn how to fix the body first. then make it a rat style (if thats the look you are going for)

all you need is to slam the shit outta it, vw lip, boso style muffler tips, and wide steelies

good luck with the build.
looks like fun

#358328 Picked up some parts for timothy yesterday.
My all clear corners came in.

Then, picked up this bad boy from my friend for $20
Image

also got these H&R Springs on stock DC Integra Struts.
Slapped the fronts in today, rears go in tomorrow or tuesday.
Image

and this is what it looks like after installing the front.
Image

I'm hoping they will settle over the next few days and get a little lower.

Stay tuned guys

#359107 Ok it's been a good minute since this thread got an update. Most because I sold Timothy to my mom for $500 to buy new wheels and tires for my EG Sedan Daily. So nothing much has happened in the past couple months. Recently, I picked up some wheels and the seller also threw in two LoTek Short Gold Struts with eBay coils on them as well as two stock struts with 2" lowering springs. Threw those on after a couple of hours of work. So here we have it! Keep in mind that it is now on 14" steelies instead of 15" ones.

might have a few more updates soon!
stay tuned
