project resurrection my ground up build on my 94' teg
 

well for the longest time i have wanted to take a peice of crap and build it peice by peice with everything that i want. so i found this car on craigslist the guy wanted $700 i offered him $200 and he took it. i had to pay $70 for title transfer (clean title!!!), and $200 for towing. i will be able to show you just about every step. it will be a slow process. i have to sell my s2000, then take out a personal loan. mean while i will be doing the cleaning and prep work for paint. enjoy! one more thing i don't care at all if people quote a picture here or there, but please don't quote a ton of them all together. thanks

Wow for a second there, I thought my brother had sold his shell. His is in Texas though, but its in the same shape as your teg. He has a jdm ITR front end just lying around waiting to be put on but he is too damn lazy to work on it. Anyways good luck on your build, I should be starting on mine pretty soon since I just started a new job after 3 weeks of sitting at home with no incoming income. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Good luck with the build. I hope it doesn't have to look that way again afterwards. I've seen nicely modded Tegs turn into what is illustrated on the first pic from theft...be careful with thieves; they are the lowest life form on Earth.

Seeing this on another car, makes me not feel as bad about mine rusting there now. lol

Is it also on the other side behind the driver's seat?

that car has been on craigslist for months now, I think he wanted like 1400 or so for it then every week the price kept going down lol....glad to see its getting a major make over...good luck with it!

Clean title? nice

keep up the work so we get updates https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Re: (JReal)

Re: (steveharrmr23)
 

yeah the drivers side rust will just need sanded off and painted over thankfully. yeah it's got a clean title thank god. the dog is a husky german shepherd mix. should have some minor updates tonight.

Re: (danthemang3)

Re: (jdmdc2boi12)

Re: (VTECROAR96typeR)
 

nice buy seen this on craigslist

Re: (jdmdc2boi12)
 

well here is a little bit of an update just been cleaning out the engine bay of the wiring and the interior. here's some odds and ends i've been doing.

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...0ac36dd2e6.jpg
this is what the guy had done to the wiper motor wiring

http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...ec6a0217fc.jpg
here is my fix, much better

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...63f2d0e8fa.jpg
found all the rusty metal parts. took a wire wheel to them and repainted them.

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...8f68b84e6f.jpg
here is one of the parts and the diff.

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...472af9791e.jpg
and for anybody that doesn't have money for a compressor and impact gun you need to get one of these. and cordless impact, makes life much easier.

Re: (VTECROAR96typeR)
 

oh i'm sure i'll be spending a lot. but once i sell my s2k i'll get a good chunk of change back. then i won't have car payments or insurance. i'm still living at home. i will just have to drive the crappy pick up truck in the mean time. i have decided not to add up the totals, just buy what i need.

Re: (danthemang3)
 

take advantage while you stay at home im pretty sure living on ur own would mess up or slowdown the build http://is.rely.net/1-92-30008-l-au16...EFX98SjN8A.gif

Re: (VTECROAR96typeR)
 

I'm guessing that rust was in the trunk area? My integra has that https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif I can see the ground... never realized until I went to use my spare one day. Lol.

Re: (Teggys1ClnDA)
 

well a little bit more of an update. still stripping parts off and cleaning. pretty much everything is off. i thought i would share this sweet mod. and the attention to detail this thing is going to get. i had removed all of my brake lines for the engine bay painting. and i had decided i hated the yellowish white clips everywhere on the lines. so here is a easy way to change any white plastic to whatever color you want. i just went with simple black.

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...f1f0c74541.jpg
get your parts and clean them the best you can

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...76a03642a2.jpg
buy some rit dye whatever color you want, you can finding at any grocery store in the cleaning isle

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...53629acc01.jpg
pour in some water into a junk pot that you don't care about. bring it to a simmer and add your dye. let it mix for a sec. and add your parts. just check them ever so often until you get the color you want. and please be very careful this stuff is called DYE for a reason!!!!

http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...6b46fdcbc8.jpg
and here is what you are left with. much better IMO

Re: (danthemang3)
 

Looks real good so far keep the updates coming https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
