Well my name is Tony, Im 16 currently in high school with no job and no money, well some money but not a lot of it. I currently have a 98 Civic hatch
Engine starts and all but im not going to drive the car due to a broken lower control arm.
Im going to buy this car off one of my close friends for 1200 and he is helping me do a B18B1 Swap and help me tune and turbo the thing. It would be helpful for you guys to give me advice and other thoughts

Sorry if the picture quality is crappy its due to my crappy 1.8 mp HTC camera phone -__- I lost it too.. So now i dont have anything to take a picture of the project with so you guys will have to wait. Im hoping for this baby to be done by summer ..

 

Seems like ALOT of work if you have no money.

Save some more cash and get yourself a decent running car...

 

Im getting a dodge caravan soon for free =]

That sucks.

Sell it and buy another car...

 

Lol thanks, but he told me to keep it so i can do a news paper route every friday after school, 120 per day so thats about 480 a month, i can put atleast 200 on the civic each month, Do you think its worth it to do shaved antenna cause my antenna on the ek dont work any ways

 

it looks like u have more things 2 worry about than just a shaved antenna

 

good luck...your gonna need it

 

how about getting a car that runs

 

looks like that's going to be a lot of work but

Nice project though

lmao

those are terribleee
i cant tell what im looking at

but gl

 

Needs a lot of work my friend.

 

to be honest before you think about shaving antenna's, turbo, etc... you should get it in a drivable condition. From what I can tell, its gonna need some money.

 

Looks like fun

 

upgrade ur camera man ...

 

its a camera phone sorry for the horrible quality -__- i dont even have money for a decent camera.. but thanks for all the comments and stuff, thanks for the advice ill keep you guys updated and stuff

before you get good at working on the car, it looks like you need to get good at buying and selling.... i.e. sell the caravan, sell all that doodoo in the pics, add that together and get yourself a decent running eg hatch like every other little whipper snapper on this site.

 

that guy is not your friend if hes selling you a car that doesnt move for $1200....i think you're better off getting a shell for way less $$$

 

keep it coming

 

what am i looking at?

 

a soon to be running ek lol SOON

 

Take it easy, fellas. Obviously this car needs some work, but it's not like he's got rent and child support to pay. Let him have his fun!

it looks like a forgotten crashed shell in somebody's garage.

 

as for the advice part, why don't you try and look around craigslist or honda market place and try to find yourself a better condition older model civic hatch? i bet if you saved up two weeks of your paper route money and your original 1200, you could probably pick up a clean 91 ef or 92-up eg with either a swap in it already or a jdm front end on the ef? and then what you could do is buy that motor from your boy and then swap it into a complete car? think about it, you have a horrible looking shell with a dash that doesn't fit that has no parts on it whatsoever, you know you have a sun roof button that doesn't lead anywhere, the joke won't be funny after 5 minutes. i bet those seats you're sitting on look just as bad as the exterior paint as well. Trust me, there is so much work that's needed on that car i bet it'll run u up to 3 grand at least just to get it to look decent.
