I posted eight weeks ago on getting advice on where to go wit this car/motor, I didn't get much advice or advice that I found useful so I decided to do my own thing. Its been a exhausting eight weeks, working during the day and working on this car at night. well here it is, almost done still working on the rear quarter panel trying to get it straight right now. I don't want to know how many hours I've got in this thing, or how many Benjamin's. pictures are not in order.

 

 

 

 

this is what I started with

 

Wow, nice work man! You have been busy!!!

Question - why did you replace the front cross-member? Was yours bent? Where did you get yours?

 

The car was totaled and the owner at the time rear ended a BMW, the front radiator support and front bumper was toast. I bought those off of eBay, if I had to do over again I would have tried to find an oem one. I spent about 6 weeks crawling around in the mud and in the dark before I was able to move the thing into a garage, its nice having light and not having to cover everything from the elements when I got done each night.

 

looking great! can't wait for the finished product!

 

I see the grind man. Keep it up!

 

Wow! You are putting some love in on this! Definitely bring her back!

Did you like the bumper cover you bought on eBay? If yes, can you tell me the vendor? My front cover has a little crack...

 

Damn that's some dedication right there. Awesome job

 

It is hard to tell at this points know when I temporarily installed it, it was vary snug, and didn't seem to fit the easiest, but once I got it on it seemed to look pretty good, I will know better once the car is painted and headlights are in.

rubberized everything to help with sound and water proofing,
new carpet


the new carpet and new floor mats

 

So.....its not alive yet? still dead.

 

No it’s running, still doing the necessary repairs before I put it on the road, it kinda needs a windshield

 

Man, I love the work you are putting in on this!

 

PS: Sorry I missed your earlier post about this project!

What year and model are you working with here?

 

What vendor did you buy carpet and floormats from? I need a set of mats...

Who did you get the bumper cover from?

Thanks!

 

I think this is it, eh? https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...-head-3307273/

And I know what you mean about crawling around outside in the cold and the dark. I replaced the steering rack in my wife's truck this week one night after work. 40 degrees when I started, in the 20s when I finished.

 

wow.

good job man. one day if I need I want do the same this with my eg. I need go to other city in order to have good services.

 

I love what I'm seeing here.

Did you use OEM or aftermarket fenders?

 

I Used after market, they fit pretty good all things considered.
