Default my 91 EF project

Ok so i see alot of project post's going on and i thought i would contribute to HT :D

I bought the car for 500 bux.. and im in the process of de-ricing it, saving anotha ef.
so here it goes.... When i got it there is no interior cept for front seats and dash, and it was poorly primerd and the guy tried to do some body work on it and kinda screwed it up ... and he got rid of the sexy body moulding .. so im in the process of resurecting it slowy, I do have a full time job that requires long hours. (im a installer for ADT home security systems).. so ill try to keep the updates going ... I plan on getting the JDM D15B SOHC VTEC Longblock, and building it for boost
within the next few weeks. and im getting a full suspension kit, and a roll cage installed.

now for the pics

1st week i got her


K now the updated pics...

OMG i hate body work, i got off early today :D i started sanding and there is freakin bondo everywhere... i still am unsure how to approach the body lines.. i think a wire drill brush attachment should knock it out lol.. Apparently the car was white, yellow, red, and then glossy blck then primerd then yellow... then primierd again, so many layers, and underneath the primer is a pornstar vynil stickers.. grrr... pics will be up tonight, its gettin hotter outside and the mosquitos keep creepin on me.. i think tomorrow ill pull the motor and tranny...

PS BONDO SUXX!

Update... Pulled the motor and tranny, and the chain broke on the engine hoist.. as a result it smashed the camera . So i replaced the oil pan and the clutch. also did the waterpump and timing belt.. Also, did more body work. I am going tomorrow to get a new camera. PICS TOMORROW!...

PS If i shoot fireballs when i come off WOT is that normal?

how are you making the hydro tranny work? I also want to do the D15B swap in my ef sedan with a P28 lsd tranny (I think it's a P28) but it's a hydro. I know hasport makes the cable to hydro for a b series. Nice project - SUBSCRIBED!
