Picked this one on August 18, 2008 as another "something-to-do-on-my-little-free-time-at-home" project. It's wasn't the prettiest thing appearance wise, but that's the point, Lol. Engine was mis-firing in cylinder #3 (seller said it was due to an exhaust leak, ROFL), and engine compartment looks like a ball of grease. Trans shifts smooth.

Anyways... here are some pix for now, but I'll update it as I go along from now on (should've done it when I first picked it up to keep track).

Stock piping came with the car. Notice how one of the rear seat skin was put on wrong, haha...


Interior was messy as hell since the car sat out for a long time with the passenger side window broken (no window). Leaves, dust, dirt, and fur ALL over the interior... and yes, those are Civic front seats. These pictures do the dirtiness no justice, ROFL...



I had to drive it home with this monstrosity of an exhaust... how embarassing.



Driverside... OK condition


Passengerside... not so OK condition

 

Update: August 21, 2008

Started to strip the interior out and clean it up a bit...
Took me awhile to just to do this and clean out all the CRAP that was in there.



Engine bay shot after I some-what wiped it down...



That's it for now, I have pictures of other updates, just haven't uploaded any in awhile. They'll be posted up soon

 

and no rear wiper removal? do you need an OEM plug?

 

This should be a good project. I'd like to see what you do with it.

You already know that the rear wiper is coming off

 

Update: 08.23.2008

Decided to do a complete tune up since the car was running kind of shitty...
New air filter, OEM replacement NGK plugs, wires, distributor cap, ignition rotor, oil change and filter, fuel filter, oil pan (old one all dented and stripped out) and pan gasket, valve cover gasket, and re-seal the cam cap.

New magnetic oil drain plug to go with the replacement oil pan... I love brake-cleaners. The stuff works so good for cleaning anything, Lol



This thread chaser saved me a lot of time and headache after I found out cylinder #3 had a couple of threads crossed in the hole... The tool straightened out the threads and let the new spark plug in fine.


Decided to clean up the engine-bay a bit after I put most of the tune-up stuff in. SuperTech Walmart brake cleaner and engine degreaser FTW!


Somewhere along the lines of a few days later, I picked up a replacement bumper and lights, stock muffler, and some misc interior pieces (vents, glovebox).


Stock piping and muffler went back on along with the stock catalytic converter and exhaust manifold... ahh looks much better:

OMG... look at the MESS! The floor mats were in the same condition, if not worse:


Scrubbed the carpet and mats a bit using laundry detergent. Starting to look cleaner now... still needs more scrubbing though:

 

Couple of questions dude....how much did you pay for the car? And last question....what kind of oil pan gasket is that. I know its not OEM as the Honda/Acura ones are black.

TIA

 

wow nice upgrades this is going to be a cool build already.
pics of rear hatch with no wiper or BAN!

Felpro gasket. Works just as good as OEM. I've used them on my other 2 Integras and they work perfectly fine.

you bought it from that chick up in napa huh? She bought those civic seats off of me for $30. lol She bought the car for $50 and her boyfriend slid it into a pole. She got a state ref ticket for that exhaust... exhaust is off an rx8. hahah ohh the irony.

 

nice start

 

looks like a good restoration

 

Update: 10.11.2008

Tore the front end apart to access the door hinges so I can replace both doors when I pick them up.
Wow... so dusty!


Back end apart also...
Hatch is ready to be removed to paint the inside, then weld the emblem holes shut.

 

nice work...
