I think its a good start. What are your goals for this car?

ryanevansoh

Looks like a good start. What are your plans?

sladebull

my plans are to have the body work and paint done by summer break so by mid May. im also saving the money i get from tips at work to buy a set of wheels. i have been debating between og old skool black wheels or just plain 5 spoke black or dark grey wheels. after exterior i will start interior. so new carpet and covering my panel less rear with black aluminium. and maybe make a custom rear wing and some other things. i dont have any plans for the engine....yet.

Nice I think old school wheels would look good on the ef I know someone who had old schools on his ef hatch slammed to the ground it looked dope.Im 17 also lol.

sladebull

ya i think the old skools would look better. ill just have to save an extra $200.

Im building a car just like that with a jdm d15b vtec, Your car is coming out pretty good and how does that exhaust sound. I have one like it but not that one.

SlowAndLowEF

Absolutely love this car, bro .. Don't change a thing, it looks amazing !! How long did it take you to do the crx dash conversion ?

sladebull

sladebull

this is how it will look when i pick it up on saturday

Slenderman

I like the car, but that sticker-bombed fender just has to go.


Keep up the good work!

sladebull

all the sticker bomb crap will be the first to go then the purple pinstripe will be replaced with red again

Slenderman

What kinda plans do you have for it for the future?


Besides those details you just mentioned of course...


Any plans to chase more power?

sladebull

the plan is to go for a ratty/clean look. i plan on doing mirror deletes and fender mirrors, front camber kit to correct the camber. thats about all i have planned at the moment

sladebull

the pics i got of the car before my dad picked it up






finally got her home

Cool stuff. I'm your tan DX twin here (although I'm an 89). Thing was a total POS when I got it and slowly have made it into a nice EF. My stock brown interior was hideous, full of cat hair and smelled terrible. Took me forever to find full black interior changeover stuff but I managed. Got new carpet and Integra seats in it these days. Recently installed factory cruise control from a sedan. CRX dash and converted to 90-91 cluster. Pretty much totally overhauled underneath and rebuilt engine and tranny only have 32k miles on them. New r12 AC system. I've put a lot of time and effort into it. New paint. Almost would have been easier to start with a nicer car from the get-go. Although I really enjoy it, it's my daily driver. EF's are dying off quick, I never see any on the streets anymore.






Here's how it used to look. So many panels were damaged that I just found good donors to swap on rather than doing a bunch of body filler. I don't have any pics of the original interior but it was DISGUSTING. Almost wish I'd taken some pics back then of it.

sladebull

awesome man. it looks great.
