Some of you know my other project car. I still have it, and drag race it occasionally.


Build thread can be found here https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/function-form-build-my-first-complete-resto-3063255/


Anyway, I picked up this diamond in the rough in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. October 30, 2013

Encountered a little set back, 127kms into the trip back, a flat tire. Called up Mom squad, and 4 hours later, back on the road. 9 hours behind schedule, she now resides in my garage.


Anyway, back to more pics of the poor girl













And it begins... striping plastidip off the car




Current mods:
Carbon fibre "Spoon" Hood, weighs nothing compared to my Seibon
Carbon fibre Spoon style mirrors
Carbon fibre Spoon style duckbill
Carbon fibre rear lower tailgate
8.8lb Flywheel
Stage 3 Clutch
B20B Engine Swap
B16 Tranny with LSD
Mugen Rad cap
Unknown Brand front and rear strut bars
7pt Bolt in Roll Cage
Trust Shift ****
Momo Steering wheel
Ohlins Coilovers
Password:JDM Cross drilled Rotors - Not installed
Unknown brand header
Mega huge fart can on the car
GReddy Evo axle back, not on the car
Injen Cold Air Intake
Mugen rep front lip

Probably find more as I tear down the car

Plans for the car:
Restore to presentable condition
Remove any, and all aftermarket wiring, switches, buttons, and gauges
Move improperly mounted, and non sealed battery back into the engine bay
Replace USDM headlight and corner lights with OEM JDM pieces (car was backed into in a parking lot, and broke the left side headlight and corner light)
Buy new thin side moldings
Replace all old, worn trim and weather stripping
Remove all decals
Fix all wiring issues
Brake line tuck
Wire Tuck

And the strip down process begins...

Started with the back, what a mess of wiring






Tip to everyone, this is not the proper way of fixing wiring. Butt connectors = ghetto


Looks like a snake pit


Wrong size bolts in the spoiler




Took off the front bumper for a little surprise. Bottom rad support is chicken **** welded on, barely hanging on. Guy said it was in a minor parking lot hit, which broke the headlight and bent the fender... Never mentioned this




Not the proper way to run wiring to relocate your battery. Was close to a whole roll of white electrical tape on there. Notice the ghetto a/c block off.


Front fenders and hood removed


Rear is back to normal




And the tear down begins.


Pulling the motor the unsafe way




Got taking out the dash down to a 15 minute job already




Cleaning out the engine bay




Dirty wheel wells


Coilover that came on the car, was told they were Mugens, but...


They're OHLINS!!!


Plastidip is by far the worst stuff I've ever dealt with, in thin coats anyway






Inside stripped, and unfortunately plastidipped as well :/




Other side of the car


Bare shell


Studs on the fire wall ground off and started to clean it up a bit


No more plastidip <3










Something missing?


Its the gas tank!


Rear trail arms broken down to get ready for powder coating and rebuilding


And picked up another set of wheels. Mugen RNR's


Traded my duckbill and some cash for these lips. Finally can start putting my BBS's back together. Got one done today





Bought a set of fully polished SSR Type wheels to add to the collection. 15x7 +35



Picked up a couple of my parts from local powder coaters

Purple Skunk2 Upper Control Arms


Purple Cusco 7pt roll cage


That is my progress so far. More to come

Good luck, have fun!

Good find on the suspension! Probably one of the only positives you pulled out of the deal.

Cleaned up a few parts, and disassembled more






Polished booster?


Seized screws


Drilled out the heads, removed the rotor


I used a small disc grinder to cut a line into the old screws, and used a flat screw driver to remove the remainder of the screw


RHD power steering rack

SiRBranno

Loving this

ProjetEF

Its a great thing to save an EG6 !!!!! great job

HatchVX

the body looks like its in decent shape. Was there much rust to fix?

street_racer_271

iTrader: (8)

Frost White. I've always wanted a white hatch, and I want to stick with OEM colors that were available in 1994.

Other than minor surface rust, not anything that sandpaper couldn't get rid of. Body is in mint shape, compared to the other 15 or so Civic's I've owned

Picked up some JDM thin moldings this weekend in exchange for my Injen CAI.

Anyway, did some work on the motor today.


Wiring, valve cover, timing cover and belt, and useless brackets all off


Pretty clean actually


Rear of the motor. CV boots were torn, so there was grease everywhere


Timing side cleaned up


Rear of the motor stripped down


Scrubbed and washed


Tranny cleaned up


Low gloss black paint


Valve cover cleaned up


Taped and degreased


More purple

J.M.

Nice restoration man. I still remember the day I went to jdmsource with a couple buddies to check this out when it first landed in Canada. Sad to see it's been so used and abused, but luckily it's in good hands now!

street_racer_271

iTrader: (8)

Couple parts I picked up from the powder coaters


Motor is completely painted and dried






Valve cover is the wrong color. So I gotta get another one, and just powder coat it

StayKrafty

Beautiful work man!

In the process of moving pics over to imgur, so bear with me.

Brought my car to my friends shop and welded up some holes in the engine bay, please excuse my amateur welding


After some grinding with a flap disc to blend everything in




This side still needs work, it was already late, so I had to call it a day

whitesihatch
