Default ED3: aka Project Foor Door!>**build thread**

**UPDATED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH PICS!!!**

Ok, so i have finally settled down with one project (besides the teggy) and now that i am out of school for good, I have had more time to put into my latest project.

Here is some info on the car:

1990 Honda Civic DX 4door, 1.5L, autocrap bone stock
-Purchased for $150 buckaroos not running, towed her home on a dolly, and now the fun begins

_In this build thread, I will be yanking out the old beat 1.5 auto, for a B18 Ls, and a manual swap (a first for me!!) Along with this will be other upgrades such as suspension, interior and exterior. The main reason for this build is to have a DD for when I am fully re-building the teggy!!

On to the pics, let me know what ya'll think

Pics from the morning i brought her home:




Since then I have pulled out the old 1.5 and trans, most of the auto stuff..

Engine out:


What I got to work with!! lol


Interior: trashed


*****
Updated interior and trunk area!!



Cleaned all the **** out, got carpet out, and simple greened the metal (not 100% done yet)



There will be many updates, so check back everyday!!
Comments and concerns welcome!!

I have tryed spot shot on the carpet (which is brown in some areas ) and it didnt go anything. I have never heard of green machine, but I will definatly look into it. Those arent the seats that are going to end up in there. I have a MINT pair of blue DA seats (which have auto seatbelts as well!!)

But those SI's are currently for sale (locally) if anyone wants to pick them up!! I have front and rear, MINT!!

Testing out the SI's on the 'ol 4door. I think they are the wheels i will rock for a while once shes up and running. Plus I recently took them off the teg because I put her back into "winter mode" (cough cough BS, we havent had any snow yet )

Next week:
ordering Inline Four shift linkage, short shifter, ES shifter bushings, and a aluminum cam plug for the b18 (it was leaking before)

Check it fOOl!!!...
