Function>Form build. My first complete resto
Thought I'd start a build thread here. Copied it from EJ1OC. I have most of the stuff dated. It's been a work in progress for 4 years now.
Bought this gem May 22, 2008
Here's my progress for the first day.
Goal was to strip the interior an get the engine out.
How she looked when I got it
And an hour later
Few more hours and some cleaning
End of the day, got car stripped, an engine ready to be dropped out next week. Then body work an paint
Future mods
GSR Swap
Wire tuck
New Paint and body work
Swap over all my parts from my coupe
May 23, 2008
i paid $200 for it. I'm getting brand new rear quarter panels, an painting the entire car, like windows, wiring, doors, hatch, everything out then paint.
and some progress from today, finished cleaning out the inside an took out the sound deadening on the driver side, cause i suspected rust an was right. I'm also getting a new floor peice for that side. Removed the heater core, removed half the fire proof blanket, removed the last three brackets in the car.
June 1, 2008
here are some pics from this week, forgot the SD card for my camera at home so only took a few pics. the car is an hour an a half away from me so...
June 26, 2008
updates:
started shaving engine bay, cleaned up my rear trailing arms, an put in new trail arm bushings, patched up some hole, an cut out rear fenders. pics....
donor hatch
shaving some holes
cleaning up rear suspension assembly (they both looked like the one in the middle of the pic)
rust killing primer
fresh paint
finished product with new trail arm bushing
and all thats left on the car is the two brake lines in the back, gas tank an filler thing, other than that its as stripped as you can possibly get
June 26, 2008
made an impulse buy today, and got these
and got these today
August 25, 2008
finally an update, im back at the hatch, once a week now. Anyway, on with the pics...
don't worry about the runs, its just paint killing primer
and my other two donor civic's
October 16, 2008
new rear quarters welded in
Engine bay being prepped for paint
2 Coats of sealer
and finally some paint
truck bedliner as my floor sealer
new suspension, complements of Springrates.com
even new oem honda bolts
doors and hood from my 94 EJ1
i'll always have a piece of my first EJ1 with me, the front lower control arms, and front sway bar are from my EJ1. As well as the GSR swap from it and the wiring, the power mirrors, and dash. The doors, hood, and seats are from my second EJ1. The rad cradle is from my other EH2, as well as some donor parts like the lower part of my windsheild that I had to cut the rust out of.
October 27, 2008
here are some pics from last week. Also got a few new parts; Black Recaro's, Innovative mounts with black bushings, Skunk2 intake manifold and hondata intake gasket
oh and i'm picking up a gsr rear sway bar to replace this hideous thing, which was never used
November 5, 2008
just a little update, starting the wire tuck tomorrow. Got my S2 intake all together and on the motor along with my Hondata Gasket, had to buy some longer studs for it though, so I decided to replace the exhuast side onces too right away...
and I had a little exhaust leak, the first stud was broken and had maybe one thread on it that was actually in the head.
Also picked up a GSR rear sway bar, and my Innovative Mounts (Black bushings instead of red) should be here next week
April 25, 2009
FINALLY got to work on my car, the guy that owns the shop that owns my car was impossible to get a hold of. Two hours of calling and finally going to his house I woke him up. Anyway, dropped in my motor finally. Towing the car home wednesday to assemble and then hopefully in two weeks, bring it back and finish painting/body work
PIX
New Mounts and Bolts, other mount is already on the car
Engine sat there for the last 6 months
Left mount didn't work (Engine mounts were for Civic, bought a single mount from Innovative)
it feels good to make some progress... just now my vc is hitting my hood. It latches, but doesn't lock in
July 1, 2009
new oem brake lines
fuel tank and ecu covers
July 8, 2009
next time i do ground up, im bagging and labelling all the screws, bolts, nuts, etc, so I don't have buckets of them to sort through, most frustrating part is trying to find the right bolt, i stripped as many as i could off my last two EJ1's so i'd have a few extra's.
on a progress note, i got a bunch of stuff sandblasted and powder coated ***** fresh
left torque brace, bumper gaurds for headlights, hood and hatch hinges, wiper arms, left engine mount bracket, inside ecu bracket, and battery tray... got it all done for a pizza
August 10, 2009
yay update, wire tuck is moving along slowly, had to de-pin my power mirror wiring from my old harness and incorporate it into my vx harness.
Finally got the right set of front brake pads, they're from an RSX Premium. Ya don't know but they fit.
left is a fuel pump cover from down south, the right is mine with a lot of wire wheeling
March 15, 2010
just stock piling parts in my spare room, waiting for my tax return to buy a harness from rywire, and picking up my sandblasted MR5's today
this is what I started with
paint stipper doing its thing
gave up on sanding off the clear coat and original finish, so i got them sand blasted (HUGE Mistake)
did a little sanding today
and here's my parts room. Sponge Bob and my monkey keep them safe
the rest of my parts are in the garage, these are mostly the parts that can't get dirty, and go on last
April 10, 2010
here some updates
this hood is actually black, this is from all the dust from sanding
random engine shot
my near perfect, mint calipers
rear brakes
April 22, 2010
small update, still working on the rear quarters, i am probably the pickiest person i know, i painted them so i can see where the imperfections are

tested a few things last night
had to replace tailgate wiring. High mount brake light doesnt light up, its getting no power
wiper motor got caught in the wiring i have going through that area, so i gotta figure out how to keep the wiring down.
oh and integra rear seats fit like crap, who ever told me they fit properly in a EH2 was full of ****, gaps on the sides, and where the bottom and top meet has like a 3" gap
July 16, 2011
did a little work today, finished wiring, soldered my Rywire ecu jumper harness to my old ecu harness (5 wires), and i needed to solder up my city lights, and one headlight plug. Filled and bled my clutch, filled up my brakes mc, need to bleed them when i have time next.
pics
and as you can see, mounted my bumper, and fenders, aligned them and the doors as best as i could, not happy with the pass side fender though, there's a bigger gap at the bottom, and i can't pull the fender any closer, and my door is properly aligned, well it could be pushed up another millimeter at the back, but it still closes perfectly
July 18, 2011
Picking up the last piece i need for my fuel rail on wednesday, and then im gonna try to start it. If everything works properly, i'll be putting in my other dash, and getting the rest of the interior back together, and then save $400 to get my glass installed, and then another $80 for a wheel alignment.. woop woop
got most of my interior in
my new front sway bar hardware, i put the endlinks on before the pic, but here's the old and new mount and bushing

Re: Function>Form build. My first complete resto
this was over a 4 year span, plus used some of my parts from previous cars. If I had known at the end I was gonna spend this much, I would of saved for an NSX. But I bought my first car 9 years ago, swapped in a GSR motor, which I used on this car. Bought coilovers and other suspension parts for it, which I used on this car. So lets take $25,000, devide it by 9 years, thats $2777.78 I spend on it per year avg. I've seen guys dump $10k+ into a car in one summer, and sell it off a few month later for a few thousand. Thats dumb. I went into this project ***** first, knowing I wasn't getting a return on my investment. But I didn't build it to get into a magazine, or win awards at shows. I built it for me. I don't ever intend to sell this car, and for me, its my hobby. Some people like to party, I like to work on my car. I bet the partying hobby is more expensive when you break it down... or drugs, or even smoking.

Would you consider uh, getting paid to get bored and paint my valve cover?
