Default ED3: aka Project Foor Door!>

Yes, gen2fanatic is back with yet another exciting, yet refined project...

many of you may re-call my last hatch project, found in this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1351687


Well i am back, with more knowledge and patience with my latest project, ED3, or as i call it "Fo-Do" (or foor door) lol

Enough chit chat, here are some snaps i took earlier today:

1990 Honda Civic DX 4dr Automatic... woot




Nice and clean interior... NOT


D15 thats comming outta there


The only Honda cancer found on car!!!




Here's the scoop:
I picked this one up this morning, not running. Towed her back to my home where my new project shall begin. Plans include:

-LS motor swap
-New clutch
-5spd conversion with LS trans
-b series mounts and linkage
-KYB GR2 struts with APEX springs
-my SI wheels
-Blue DA seats
-SI cluster

^^^All of which i already have sitting around here from my last project....

Keep an eye on this one, its goonna be huge ... not really lol

i think this is gonna be a great project... some cheaps things you should do to make your car look better:
1. get a passenger side mirror
2. get some duplicolor trim paint and paint your bumpers, moldings, and door handles
3. swap those dash vents back to blue, or get a complete grey interior

post pics as you make progress... subscribed

sweet man, i totally agree with hellmeroma and tippyman, although i think the all blue or all black interior would be nice, but black swap is a PITA as you know

shift linkage will work, LIKE I TOLD YOU lol all EF's are the same

wish i could come up and help you with the swap and stuff, looks like its gonna be a nice fun project. lmk if you need any help or have any questions

and keep it updated

oh yea, i would definately recommend that krylon or dupont black molding paint for the moldings, and maybe the bumpers, it'll look 100% better. cant wait to see the final
