This is my first eg. A 93 hatch clean title. I got it in a trade involving a dohc zc 91 hatch. Its not a super baller build, more of a restoration I guess.

Here's how she looked when I first got her.







It came stock, with the exception of amber corner lights, front camber kit and extended studs, 2000 prelude front seats, and amber corners. One vision, one sonar.LOL. The rims, intake, lca's, and tein super street suspension all came from my other car (crx) I had to borrow those things temporarily.

The stock motor(d15b7) went poop on me before I could even register it. A friend had a d16z6 so I scooped it up. And put it in. I reused my old tranny thinking it was an ex tranny. Its actually a vx tranny


Now the car came with shaved moldings which I don't like so I started to remove them. And the fenders, hood, and front bumper need replacement and I had paint laying around which I wanted to test out. I like it



Here's a motor shot:


I have a 4-2-1 header for it but it needs exhaust work before I put it on.

Any comments/ questions are welcomed. I'll try to keep this thing updated

 

here my spoiler



and this is how i roll. dumped




I have some diff kicks to put on her too.
heres just some of the work i have ahead of me

 

looks like a good start. Good luck!

 

Thanks man

 

Im glad youre ditching the shaved side moldings

 

Yah I think I'm gonna need new doors now though. There's bondo or whatever it is up the whole door on both sides. The plan is to hit it with 60 grit back down to the paint and then go from there...... as far as the quarters go. The car was origionally teal. What a shame I almost vried when I found out

 

good start man

 

good luck with it man

 

looks like a good start dude, def keeping up with this thread also.

 

Thanks a lot everybody. Simple comments like that kep me going

 

GOOD START!

 

good luck.

 

arent those wheels kinda rare with the center caps?

 

thanks everybody! the wheels are stock bmw rims. really old.


well some bad news! the car died on the freeway today and wouldnt turn over even when i popped the clutch. i knew then something bad happened. then i got it home and discovered that it had no oil and was now seized!



she had no oil. couldnt turn the crank if i stood on the breaker bar


good thing i got this laying around not being used

 

lol. I wish I had a H2B lying around...

 

lol your tellin me

 

Well the h is actually for my other car, but I'm superbroke right now and can't afford another motor. It will only be in temporarily

 

I dunno man, i see b16 longblocks for sale in cali for 450 sometimes...

 

dope start on the build cant wait to see it done

 

Yeah there's definately cheap motors out here, but I have no money. My friend let me borrow his ctr tranny for the H and all his mounts while his car is down cuz I can't afford those things until later. I'm spending about $60 to put this motor in


Thanks all for the support!

 

That is true. Dont feel bad, I too am broke. Really broke!

 

well i got the sohc out. went to slap the new trans on and the clutch doesnt fit! had to order new one with funds i shouldnt have spent. cant put it back together until at least friday

 

for some reason, i think i used to own this car about 4 years ago. Is there any way you can see if it was a camo green color and white primer underneith??

 

When I got the car, part of it was white primer. I don't know about the camo green though. But this car did have a k in it at one point, and a turbo ls vtec I guess

 

So your car is a ****, like mine? Unfortunately my hatch has been through about 8 different owners and about 6 different motors in the last 2 years, haha.

But anyways, get that H2B in there and finish the paint! I like that color
