Default $500 Project car

just picked this car up last week for $500 its been sitting since 99
when the guy tryed to swap a b16 in. When I got to the house to
pick it up there was no suspension or axels it was sitting on the
ground. His brother traded him hoods after he hit a big rig

*EDIT* Yahoo was being shitty, so i hosted else where.

Well **** good find. It just needs a little cleaning up, and you'll be rockin an SI with a b16 in no time. Does it run? (actually because of the price I assume not) BUT I would still take on the task of putting it back together.

Interior looks clean, so all in all, good find

edit: poor car has been sitting for 5 years, but it'll feel that much better when you crank it up for the first time

It's a kick pan. It protects your ECU.

that thing in the back seat is the
cover that goes over the ecu so you cant kick it.

Good find

that is a good find man, after seeing this post, i happened to come across my own deal too. 90 si hatch with b16 and j1 tranny. everything is in perfect order, except the engine and tranny is removed from the car..... so i just need to put the heart back into the body! i got mine for 900 though.

congrats man, can't wait to see your finished pics, and excited on my own deal too
