2000 Black EM1 Project Build!
-Hey whats up guy, im here from saint louis missouri, kinda new to this fourms stuff, so kinda help me out, I currently own a 00 Civic si I got from poppss for my senior year graduation present
-Im still in the process in working on it, and need as much advice as you can give, or share with me, thank you.
-Here a few pics that I got when I was taken to my dads shop from graduating with the year of 2010, I now been driving the car for over 6-7 months I would say, I really dont like driving it in winter
-This is it just lifted up slighty in the front, getting a new control arm driver side put on,
[ The previous owner of the car had a accident as you will see in a lot of pics I put it ! ]
- Lets just say he ran over a parking curb, that's his story for driving drunk
- Good things first, it is a CLEAN title ! and I was glad My pops bought it
- In pops shop was shocked and wicked when the garage first opend, didn't believe it was an EM1
' ' Got a few more I wanna post up ' ' ! !
- Theres the big damage, im now just getting into repairing and fixing cars, since my brother and pops is a mechanic , I try to follow up and get use to all these parts and there names
The next picture I hate
- I can't find a way to align the front of my car with the front core support, dont know the name of it, but when u pop open the hood, the front frame, that hold the bumper and head lights, and is infront of the radiator and fan, having big trouble aligning that right now, So a week or two ago, I went down to a friend that was parting out his 00 MR si EM1 and gave me the whole front end, just the frame that I was talking about, I will take a pic soon , soon means tomorrow heres the pic
Anyone got any ideas? or should i take it to a shop ?

Hello, new to this forum stuff as well. I usually just search info on google or yahoo. But friends told me to sign up and see whats out there. seen your post on this. since your car is a clean title and you have mechanic's on hand. put the car back together yourself. this way you can learn about your civic. it's pretty fun to know what you did to your car. But use OEM parts. they are best and a bit expensive. U decide to use the aftermarket parts and there will be alot of adjustments or incorrect fitting with them. But that's from experience thru the years dealing with civics. Well good luck with your project build. it will turn out nice. i already went thru 2 civic si's 99 & 00. Now on my 3rd civic si hatchback converted to si. Good Luck.

Just looks like it needs a core support and front suspension... I dont think you mentioned what happened to it or what you need

Theres gonna be a time line through the days i work on this project, plans are to make it a clean look on it, just doing a few bolt ons, and getting it painted and making it look fresh, and a DD , yeah front core support I got here's a picture of that for ya ! Just need it alighned right, but im having trouble doing it !
Theres a little shot of it, just had it slapped on for now, getting more soon.
- And just the core itsself,
- Now I have a MR SI ALL RED front core sitting in my garage I took of on my buddies 00 EM1 im trying to put it back on to mine cause it oem and durable, not the weak stuff these other auto parts guys make.
- Here is the front I hope you can see what i mean when i said its off center, it starts from left to right - the gap going big then small.... i cant align it good.
Heres the front, Those foggys are getting taken out, if anyone has a suggestion here to buy good 3k fog lights, with covers and wiring give the url of the site or on ebay i dont mind, i need new ones, and also i have a new stock em1 lip coming in soon my mugen one cracked due to snow blocks on the streets

Looks like your car is coming along. It will just take some time and patience. don't rush it. You'll see you ride on the road again... Yeah what did happen to the front?
