Default My 94 Hb *restoration* -56k no way-

Well as i couldnt post in A/C i was adviced to post it here instead, so here goes:

Im from denmark and this is my HB ive been working on, picked it up 2 years ago and it was in poor condition, so i started small but now im allmost there

Hope u all like it, i know i do


Thats how it all started, unfortunatly i dont have any other b4 pics
only pictures after i started working on it...


had to redo the entire roof line as i was all rusted


wuhuu 1 new door, needed another (didnt know that at this point




car just arrived at a friends garage after all the rust was removed, new fenders, doors antenna removed, new panels and so on...


finally time to take the engine out, stock D15B




Engine removed, finally, actually it took longer to assemble the engine lift


Door 1 prepped for paint, looks great


Right rear panel ready for color








Engine bay just rolled out of paint booth





Rest of car freshly painted





1st hit outside with the fresh paint, looks great imo..

but what do you guys think....

If my english suck and i dont make sense, just ask and ill answer the best i can

Updates will follow ofc.

Well if there is nothing wrong with the health of the d15b, no point replacing it. If a leakdown and compression test turn out ok, you should just turbocharge it instead of swapping But the b18c is a nice motor...

Either way, looking good so far and keep us updated!

So fare so good, now we "just" have to finish her and putting her back toghter, but yes it is lookin´ reel good this fare. !

and that dang engine lifter.. LOL.. i could have build an engine faster then it took us putting that monster toghter.

That D15B is a surviver ! i think it has tried just about anything, but yea alittle more power wound not hurt

Btw, That´s 141 HP NOT WHP.. if it was 141 WHP no need for swap
