Default My first EF!

This is my first EF, along with my first project car.

A few pics, Please give any feedback/suggestions you may have as I'm not sure which direction I'm wanting to go with the car.

The car is all stock with the exception of 92-95 civic seats, it is in need of interior/rear seats/headliner. Other than that the interior is clean.

As far as motor goes I am thinking b20/b16 swap.





Again, suggestions are welcome, I would like to hear from some senior EF owners on which directions hey took to make their EF as clean as possible

Thanks, I jumped on the deal. An unmolested car is hard to find nowadays

I'm hoping someone might be able to point me to a site which sells interior pieces such as the headliner/plastic door molding, and other obscure things I am in need of..

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

Right now it's got the stock d-series motor in it with the 4 speed tranny.

I'm planning on a b16 swap and a wire tuck, possible some boost in the future.

My goal is to keep it as OEM as possible, thinking 99-00 SI wheels slammed on some omni coilovers.

you can definetly fit a crx dash and doorpanels on there my friend has it on his ef. so thats what i would do because imo i think the crx dash and center console looks way better then i would go with an ol' b16 =] with a/c! si wheels =/ i dont think will look good on it maybe some work equips!
well its clean and keep us posted on ur build g/l

clean, reminds me of my old ef. umm... looking at the interior pics looks like you also got the center section that came with those seats. just need boot for that. for the rest of your interior, go to a junk yard and piece it together. and damn dude, get some seat belts too. the original owner was gay from taking them out.

In reply to anyone that sees this. . .

If you take a closer look at the interior pic I posted, you notice there isn't a slot for the seat belt to slide through on the door panel. Is there any alternative to this rather than swapping door panels?

Also, would the door panel have to be from an SI?

I was out messing with the thing all day, and am having trouble getting the seatbelt in due to all the swapped interior pieces from different make/models the previous owner thought would be a good idea. ..

The 88's have pillar mounted seat belts; no slot in the door panel for them.

Here's my 88 hatchback; it came with the brown seat belts and door panels were messed up; I swapped in my 88 CRX door panel and seat belt(mounted same way)

I have a 91, and have 88ish si panels, ( I think) ( No slot for the belt.)

What would be the best approach for me getting belts installed? Getting 91 door panels? If I do this is there anything else I would need to complete the install besides the panels?

Or should I get the 88 "pillar?" if I do this, what would be needed? I don't care how it looks, I'd prefer to go the easiest and least inexpensive route, I just need some seatbelts.. haha.

Can someone help me out? And maybe direct me to a place that has what I need to get the belts in?
