Default Daily Driver BUDGET BUILD Rescued 1996 Integra LS

Hello H-T members!

This is my story...

My goal: A fun affordable daily, with some style and a little bit of pep.

When I bought my house a few years ago I had my 03 Ram 1500, my 03 CBR 600 RR, and my 93 Hatchback with a LS swap. So the Hatch was sold to add some ching to my bank account.

For the last few years I have been looking for another Honda to clean up, and drive daily to work. A llittle project but nothing major. With the help of a good friend (AllMotorDan) I stumbled upon this 96 Integra LS.

Some of the issues that were fixed:

No axle back muffler
Blown struts all around
Siezed LCA bolts
Leaking cam seal
Leaking valve cover gasket
Chipping paint on valve cover
Engine light on, needed minor tune up
Black halo headlights
Smoked corners
Faded paint
Dirty interior stained real bad
Clarion radio
Missing the driver mirror
Wired for rear sound system
Front and rear brakes
Upper Control arms









So I rescued it!



More pics to come...

Thanks for looking
