How to make a shell a rolling chassis axle question
I have a 92 civic hatch SI and I bought it with a blown motor. The motor is out and I just want to sell it as is. Where do I plug the axles in at to make it a rolling chassis? I know this is a stupid question but any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

you dont need the axles to make it a rolling chassis...without a trans their just going to flop around on the ground..if there out, throw them in the car and forget em until you get a motor and trans

True the axles don't need to be stuck in the spindles to keep it a "roller" but if you leave a roller around too long and push it around with nothing holding the hub together you will ruin the wheel bearings.
You can take outer joints by themselves (old crappy ones are fine, no boots, etc.) and stick them through the spindle and tighten the 32mm axle nut down to keep from damaging the front wheel bearings.
