Default My 91 civic project

ok, new to posting here, but gotten on the forums for about 3 years now. heres some pics of my 91 hatch. and before anyone says anything, I DID NOT PUT THA FRONT END ON HERE. i bought it like that. i believe its a 90crx front bumper and fenders.

heres the story, a kid bought this car for $125 sitting EXACTLY like it is in the first pic, just not running. Clean Clean car, he had no clue what it was. he bought new tires for it, new fuel pump, timing belt, other misc things. i told him ill give him what he had into it... so $600 later, i got this! i instantly found a motor/tranny/ecu/harness/mounts ALL FOR $100!! silly people! lol. now its ls swapped, crane stage 2 cams, si weels, and lowered. soon to have skunk 2 full catback (already have) skunk 2 intake mani(already have) and dc sports 4-1 header (also already have)

oh, the paint was VERY oxidised when i got it. like, you touch it with a dirty finger, its stained. i couldnt get it off. you can see what im talkin about in the second pic below. BUT, i took spray way, and a waxer/buffer and all of it came right off!








MOTOR OUT, BEFORE CLEANING IT UP



AFTER


ENGINE OUT... 4X4!!! lol





DONE



Swappin parts


Lowered on Tockio struts and cheap coil overs for now!










LOOK NO RED!! lol





thats all the pics of that car for now... more to come later. oh, btw, heres my eg, my last project... shes parked for awhile now. i like the EF WAY BETTER!! lol

I'd work on ditchin the hot air intake. Aside from that, decent start. Sounds like you got a good deal on a stolen motor.
