V8 Integra Build Thread- FOR REAL THIS TIME!!
I have seen quite a few post here with people asking questions! I take alot of inspiration from both civette and cibaru! SOOO i thought to myself why not use a car of similar size? Like a mustang?
So here it is, 97 mustang cobra is the donor car-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So- It begins! Today marks the first day moving forward. This project started a month or so ago when i purchased the Mustang for the swap, but no work had been done.
last week i DROVE my integra WITH AC BLOWING COLD, around my block hit vtec, and pulled it into the garage for the last time... The tear down began.
I took a perfectly running (recently featured in a magazine) car and TORE IT DOWN!
Today was the day i REALLY tore into it. The motor is SOLD, along with the 5 lug conversion. This project BEGINS-
Here is the Feature from April 2010
The car as it sat last week- (with the mustang wheels because i sold mine)
the day i got the donor (cobra)
the MOTOR
So the first thing i did, was tearrrrrrr down the mustang, and part out as much as i could to regain some cash!
Well then i had to sell my motor, once i found a buyer for my 5 lug conversion and my gsr swap, i got to work!
MOTOR OUT
Motor delivered to buyer!
suspension and 5 lug out!
Stay tunedddddd for progress!
Update 7/22
This is the FIRST cut
We decided to cut the roof off in 2 pieces so the front half came off first-
My arms were tired as Helllllll after that- so taylor took over on the 2nd half
Taylors GET SOME face
Bustedddddddddd the back window! (not on purpose, but didnt care)
Roooooof OFFFF
Pieces to haul off to the trashhhhhhh
And how it sits at the end of the day!
The rear quarter panels and everything from the floor up to be cut away next week! Until then! Thanks for all the suppport!
Enjoy!
8/1/10
Ok i cut some more today-- Quarter pannel goneeee
8/13/10
Had to move some wiring today so i wouldnt cut into the wires!
Then proceeded to remove the left rear quarter panel
Which left me with this-
SOOOOOOo i needed to cut that all off- which gave me-
(skip to the end 2013)

A Musteg?
I think it would be cooler to keep it FWD with the Stang's engine. Mainly because you could keep the regular interior of the car. Unless interior placement is better for your setup than the Civette. I would not like to be that far back in comparison to the normal driving position.
