I just wanted to show you guys my new project!! Let me know what you guys think




obviously i will be doing a auto to manual swap, which is new to me so im pretty excited. I will still miss my old hatchy and hopefully the other guys insurance pays up so i can fund this project. I'm not quite sure what i want to do with the car motor wise. I might swap my old b series in there but the thought of a K is so temping but would be a lot of work.
heres some pics of my old ride that got owned by a truck




thanks for looking

man its a damn shame when **** like this happens but good luck to you on your new project hope every thing gose smoothly

 

Thanks.. im just so happy i found another 88-89 so i can swap all of my si interior in and such. It should be pretty straight forward. I really want to try out that new innovative hydro conversion.

 

Never did get to see the EF put all back together only a matter of time before the new one surpass where you were. Good luck with the build and u know I got ef parts to spare.

 

no worries! you will get to see this one and it will be bigger and better lol and way more HELLA TIGHT JDM YO!

 

U smashed the hella rare usdm fogs. O well only paid what $60 bucks for them lol.

 

congrats...and keep us posted on the build....

 

That i will do. I have always wanted a build thread hehe

 

so today i swapped out all my si interior into the dx and cleaned everyhting up.
car still needs a bath. i also took out the middle filler piece in between the bumper and hood.. it was all smashed
its amazing how much better the interior and the whole car feels with si seats
it almost feels like my old hatch



jdm front end coming soon.......

 

when you do your auto to manual swap you want to sell me the auto trans? i need another for my hatch.

 

ooh i love rio red ef's (check sig)haha..good luck with the rebuild

 

ya i will sell the auto tranny... might even throw in the whole motor lol.. I will try to keep this thread updated as much as i can

 

Hey, glad to hear you found another EF. Can't wait to see how my old foglight looks . I'll be following this one for sure.

 

not bad.

 

Lookin good keep us posted

 

i like it but auto? did i miss something here? lol

 

just pull the wiring out of your old hatch and put in the new hatch

 

What a shame, your old hatch was pretty

Now you got another fresh start

 

wow, sorry to hear about old hatch, was very nice... cant wait to see this one though!!

 

600 hundred dolla running EF FTW! lol
no worries.. it wont be staying auto for long
it is kinda nice just relaxing and not having to worry about shifting!

 

Looks better need to drop it and put all the parts that wernt smashed by the 350z on and see whats up with a si lip for you.

 

great starting point car is clean and the interior looks great and the hardest thing bout a auto to manual conversion is putting the pedal box in

 

im jealous man. keep us posted. i've been wanting to start up a new project car too.

 

im not too worried about the auto to manual swap.. my friend and i just did it on his accord

well today i decided to paint my moldings and make them look o so fresh and clean.
started off with some steel wool to clean them up a little bit. Then wiped them off... used blue tape and computer paper to tape it off lol..wasnt working all to well so i got some plastic bags.. and my mom was bitching about how much computer paper costs.. o well.
i really recommend that duplicolor trim paint
i will prob be spraying the bumpers with it later this week









and there ya go
