Hey everyone... Some of you might have seen my white ej2 that I've been putting together. Well yesterday I was at a friends shop and saw this pile



Horrible right?
I mean its a few different colors, someone filled the body line with bondo, it was missing a ton of parts, three different wheels on it..
Well for some stupid reason I asked what they were doing with it and he told me it was used as a parts car and they were going to scrap it. It has a good title soo I asked what they wanted for it.. and went ahead and bought t on the CHEAP..

After a very sketchy tow with a chain and a pickup it was in the line of other cars I need to mess with.. Notice the awesome painted red interior parts and the red pain spillage on the seats, carpet n console.. (not that any of that was really any good)

knuttveiten

The biggest problem with the car IMO was the slathered on bondo filling in the body line so before I did anything else I had to get that off to take sure they werent hiding a bashed quarter or something.. Im a cheap *** so I went the free way.. chisel and hammer and about a zillion light taps followed by some sanding to get whatever was left. Then I threw some primer just so it wouldnt be bare metal..

So I guess its pretty much a blank canvas.. I have no idea what to do with it really. if anyone has any ideas that dont cost a crazy amount of money I would appreciate it

if some of the harnesses are jacked, i got some you can use. GL with the build. except for the bondo that looks like my project car.

knuttveiten

Thanks man. Hell, I'm curious myself bc I have no idea what direction to take with it haha.. For now just going to get the body done while I think hard on it..

knuttveiten

Actually that is the one thing that looks untouched on this car so I got lucky. Much appreciated tho man!

knuttveiten

Had a few interior parts layin around so i threw that in. Debating on selling the shell and putting that money into mine or building it myself but I dont see the need for two civic coupes.. Any suggestions?

knuttveiten

sr20paisa

sell it and throw the money into the other since it's already running

knuttveiten

yessir thats been whats on my mind. but put the $ into my truck...

sr20paisa

you can probably build a junkyard lsx for 900, me and my bro spent 1200

knuttveiten

My truck is already swapped

sr20paisa

knuttveiten

Nice! those are worth decent money there days. Lol n yea the trucks name is "Probable Cause"

sr20paisa

do have a build thread for it ?

knuttveiten

I did but the photobucket messed up n lost a bunch of the pics. if u look on fb n search probable cause theres a page on there

knuttveiten

So I decided to get this one put together.. lol. Going to paint it and try to get it as mint as possible then Ill go from there..
It's now in garage and I peeled off the plastidip from the hood and did a little sanding and priming to cover bare places. Going to weld up the hood pin holes and any unused holes in the bay. As of right now she sits like this

I say try to do the bodywork and paint yourself. Great car to learn on.

If it comes out great, you could make some money off of it. Just make it stock and sell it.

If it comes out shitty, who cares. At least you learned and gained experience.

Try using fiberglass resin with a little bit of hardener to plug the holes if you use a welder you have a better chance at burning through or making high spots on the hood. It takes more time with sanding down after it's cured but it will not cause the hood to warp. Then just spot primer the spots after taping off the area then feather edge it.

knuttveiten

Thanks man but I already welded them up. Yes it was tricky to keep it from burning thru but it worked out well.. Stripped the interior and cleaned everything and did a little more bodywork..
