B16

 

would it be hard to convert the front to a 99 civic?

It takes some work. You should just put back the 95 front.

 

damn that sucks. ive always loved the ctr head lamps. i dont even know what i want to do with this thing.

 

get the stock front end. and drop in a b16

would any ek sides fit?

 

400 for that!?

It's a damn '95, that's approximately 1/6 of the value assuming it was in mint condition, expletive that, talk him down to 1 or 2 hundred...

 

buy a front clip convert it to RHD!

don't buy the car as a fixer-upper. buy it for parts... you'll never fix that car to align right. trust me i had a 96 lude with half the damage that car has and i spent thousands on fixing it but it just never came out right -- even with a clip!!
pick up a 92 body and swap out the parts off of that 95 -- or even better -- look for a 96 hatch or coupe and work from there. no sense in wasting money on something that's too hard to progress

 

Good luck on the build if you do it man.

 

im dropping this project and building an integra instead. with the jdm type r front clip from 96. hopefully all goes well.

 

this car is beat to ****.
i wouldnt waste my time on this car.
the frame is bend.
start a project with a clean car and clean body

 

guna do an integra one now.. question would i do the front clip first or the engine swap first...?
