89 ef sedan build... slowly
Ok so I bought my ef sedan about 6 months ago as a shell, from there I bought a complete a6 swap for $400... the motor had over 300,000 miles on it, but the transmission had lsd and it had less than 2000 miles on it along with the fidanza 7.5lb flywheel and exedy stage 1 clutch. I got it runnin and the motor locked up 3 weeks later due to bad valve guides and me not feedin it oil fast enough. Then I bought a y7 for $100 and put it in and apparently whoever had it before me hardly ever did an oil change because 3 months later it spun the number 3 rod bearin... so its been sittin for like a month or so now and Im startin a HIGH compression a6 build... here is what it looks like right now
I put the black civic trunk peice from the 87-88 sedans
Its dirtier than hell because its been sittin up...
So far it has Tokico Blues in front with Tokico Illuminas in rear with Skunk2 2in drop springs all the way around, I've got a Wink mirror and a dc center console... thats about it so far...
I have big plans for it though...

I prefer the 88-89 tail lights over the 90-91's with an 88-89 garnish.
I'm a huge fan of that colour, you don't see many. Hope you have better luck with your new engine.

Ok, bringing this thing back from the dead here. I have recently moved and got income taxes and **** so it is time to get started again.
Since the last time I posted i bought a d15b2 for $100 out of desperation and got it hanging in my car, and thats about as far as I had gotten. Well now I have ordered everything that I needed to get my car running from ebay and all i need now is a trip to the parts yard...
I am still waiting for some of the stuff in the mail and I will start making regular updates of the parts i get and the progress on my sedan.
