Default Newbie from Spain

Hello guys!!!

I'm from Spain like titles says, and new in HT. I've been reading the forums for some weeks and i decide to introduce myself.

Around 4 months ago, i bought a 6th generation coupe. Originally it was a LS, but the owner do it a B16 swap on it.

The car needs a lot of work, but it comes slowly and I hope it will be finished for Dec.

Some photos:













Don't be shy to be critic with it, it will be hepfull.

Please, sorry my english

Good platform to start with, a project for sure. Nothing that some bodywork, a good interior cleaning, and a cleaning of the engine bay in terms of wiring wouldnt cure. And losing the seats to find some in better quality that will match the interior. Seems like it would be a fun project car

Your power steering fluid is low. And, I recomend fusing the red wire coming off the positive of the battery. And, looks like you have a large positive cable laying on top of a large ground cable. That could be cool to watch...

Bienvenidos amigo.

The car looks a little rough around the edges and dirty, but it should clean up nice. You will definitely want to clean up the wiring in the bay and get your front bumper cover painted.

Good stuff, especially in a country where everybody drives Opels and Seats. Salud.

Ohhh!! Nice detail of describing Spain... jajaja!!!

The front bumper is a try to converse it to 99, but now i'm in a front end restyling, everything. I wanna do this things perfect.

The front seats are from a CRX, and i want to "retapizar" (sorry).

I'm looking for a OEM Si spoiler, it's so hard to find it.....

The translation may be a little off, i think he means to say that it had an LS motor in it, as in a previous swap. As far as i know, no civic ever came stock with any type of LS motor.

Is that your dimmer switch by your handbrake? Did Civics come stock that way over there?

LS I refer to the model, like EX is SR here, I think Ls is something about DX or something.

The original engine was a 1.5 non Vtec.

The dimmer switch is the height headlights regulator? Yes, it cames here.
