89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

Ok so I bought my ef sedan about 6 months ago as a shell, from there I bought a complete a6 swap for $400... the motor had over 300,000 miles on it, but the transmission had lsd and it had less than 2000 miles on it along with the fidanza 7.5lb flywheel and exedy stage 1 clutch. I got it runnin and the motor locked up 3 weeks later due to bad valve guides and me not feedin it oil fast enough. Then I bought a y7 for $100 and put it in and apparently whoever had it before me hardly ever did an oil change because 3 months later it spun the number 3 rod bearin... so its been sittin for like a month or so now and Im startin a HIGH compression a6 build... here is what it looks like right now

Its dirtier than hell because its been sittin up...

So far it has Tokico Blues in front with Tokico Illuminas in rear with Skunk2 2in drop springs all the way around, I've got a Wink mirror and a dc center console... thats about it so far...

I have big plans for it though...

yes I know it needs tail lights... im gonna keep my black middle peice and use 90-91 outers and delete the reverse lights

it looks alot better now

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

I prefer the 88-89 tail lights over the 90-91's with an 88-89 garnish.

I'm a huge fan of that colour, you don't see many. Hope you have better luck with your new engine. :thumbup:

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

^^^ I dont really like them... they are too blocky... and on the other hand I this will be a little different... lmao... I love the color... the paint is about a year old, I need to redo it though because its startin to peel in several places

I've also starting to bring in money so I can start my single cam build... Ill post pics the next time I'm around a computer

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

The dark blue tint kinda clashes with the paint, I'd remove it if it were me. But the color looks great!

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

You got the sedan home? Let me know if you ever want help wrenching on it.

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

I got it out to a friends house... But im definately gonna need some help with my build and doing my wire tuck and obd1 conversion... So ill prolly take you up on that offer


Yeah im not a big fan of the blue tint either... im gonna let the shop that does the retint remove it though... lol

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

I havent been on here in a while... sorry... the car has kind of been put on the back burner for a little longer... sucks

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

That does suck. You got those tails right? If not, I have a mint set with your name on em.

Re: 89 ef sedan build... slowly
 

Ok, bringing this thing back from the dead here. I have recently moved and got income taxes and shit so it is time to get started again.

Since the last time I posted i bought a d15b2 for $100 out of desperation and got it hanging in my car, and thats about as far as I had gotten. Well now I have ordered everything that I needed to get my car running from ebay and all i need now is a trip to the parts yard...
I am still waiting for some of the stuff in the mail and I will start making regular updates of the parts i get and the progress on my sedan.
