Default Don't know what to expect really...

First off, i'm a new member, so, Hello all;

I was pretty excited today when I went to my cousins house, and saw a Civic sitting in his driveway. Come to find out, he wants $100 for it, and i'm going for it.

'94 4-Door Civic Sedan (Year isn't clarified)

I'm not sure what year it is, but i'm going to get it this upcoming weeked, and i'm excited for the build.

What needs work; (The thing is ugly)
  • Body Work
  • New Transmission
  • New Driver Side Door
  • A **** Load Of Other Things

It's an Automatic right now, but it has a re-built B16 in it, so i'm going to stick with that motor, but replace the transmission for now. I'm going to go for a standard, which means I get some mechanical practive with the shift linkage, and all that general stuff.

I'll post pictures of the thing as soon as I can, take care all.

Lol, that's always a possibility.

I'm driving a Ford F150 right now, the son of a bitch is too expensive for me to continue to drive, which is why I am deciding to do this.

Sorry, I will fix that, mechanic practice. When your a collision technician, body work and mechanic work are two completely different fields of work.

Going for a standard, as in I am taking out the crapped transmission, and putting in a new one. A standard (stick shift), so I will have to replace a lot of things.
