FS RHD US registered EK hatch shell
The details are, I bought a USDM '97 EK hatch to build as a racecar. I figured since it was going to be a racecar, I will register it as non-op, so technically it can be reregistered for street use again.
What have I done to the shell thus far?
It's been completely gutted and stripped. The sound deadening AND undercoat has been completely scraped and the bottom of the whole car has been painted (bigged pain in my *** project yet) Stock silver exterior. I have begun the RHD conversion.
How did I do the conversion?
Well, the car was going to get a K swap, a floor mounted pedal box, and a cage, so most of the holes in the stock USDM firewall have been welded up. I installed a DC2 RHD subframe and steering rack, and integra front lower control arms.
All the windows except for the hatch window have been removed. I have gutted a set of doors and have the stock doors that have not been cut up yet. I also have an extra brand new front bumper. The current front bumper cover has a fist sixe hole in the passanger side. It also has a CTR front grill and front lip, and a damaged but repairable carbon fiber hood. Repair it and paint it! The headlights are brand new smoked chrome.
Also included is a CTR RHD dashboard and a lot of the components for the car that I was saving that would have been used in the racecar project, like the stock fuel tank, brake and fuel system hardlines, steering colum, wire harnesses etc.
The VIN is legit, and if you see that this is a project that you would have done yourself, this is a super deal for you. It's ready for a cage and the build up. The car must be incredibally light right now considering all the weight removal I did on it.
$2000
These are earlier pix. The windows have been removed. Front windshield is still intact and included as well.
All the welds are planned to be ground flat so that the firewall is smooth- Shaved look like a wire tuck sort of job..
Integra subframe and rack ready for Kseries swap!

I gotta shoot photos. The stock firewall is still there. No need for the details of it tho when the pedals were planned to be mounted to the floor.
