em1 build from pretty much scratch
Well I bought a 2000 em1 civic si for 350$ it was pretty ratty no bumpers cracked rim three flats had all this purple and gold trim and wire loom it was freakin ugly so that was the first thing I removed it also had cf hood and front fenders but the fenders were dry rotted and all the bolt holes were gone. I also had a 97 ex for parts so I used the trunk since the si had holes from a stupid space ship wing front fenders and door panels. I plan on it looking as stock as possible and keeping b16a2 and sc1 tranny but im going boost im gonna try and post pictures of it then and what I ha e done this is going to be a build that is going to take a few months so bare with me

Re: em1 build from preety much scratch
Preety nice build thread you've got going here.
However, before we restore the car, let's please restore the grammatical error found within the thread title. Not to be mean, but its a pretty big error, sir.
