ok i got a 92 civic shell that needed alot of work, it had so many missing parts i didnt know where to start. and you can see what i am talking about in the picture. well i told myself i ws going to take a wack at it because i didnt want to give up on it. so i brought the car to my house and i was like **** there is no way i will get this up and running. so one night i was on a local honda forum and i found another have same year but it was in way better shape and the price was very low. so to make a long story short i am parting everything left on the white hatch and building the my new toy. going to pick up the fenders, hood, front bumper and side mirrors soon with in one or two days. i hope you like. + or - comments are welcome.

so you got rid of the white one and bought the black? Atleast you got a rolling chassis now...and a driver door.

LOTS of work to do, thats for sure. What kind of motor setup you looking to run? What color you going to paint the shell? You should do a wire tuck since you can already stand in the engine bay and do a pirouette.

keep it coming....looks good and good luck

Thats way too much crap missing, should have just started with another shell that was complete. I see you spending too much money on this just to get it driving, but thats just me.

peace.

I love getting clean shells...for some reason people think its so hard to put in an engine and interior...that's the easy part!

good luck you have a lot of work cut out for yourself on that rebuild. If I where you I would change out that cut and spliced wiring harness in the photo if the doner car still has it. Also better get some new wheel studs to replace that broken one and once the car is up and running I would replace or turn the front rotors before you drive it. That is way to much rust to leave on them you will just destroy the brake pads.
