***Still Looking for 88-89 Si door panels I will pay well for a set lemme know if you can hook me up***<<<<-------




Picked this up from the owner of a shop car has been sitting since 2004 paid $500 it came with a dohc zc swap in it and a new personal steering wheel, I figured worst comes to worst Ill sell the steering wheel and the motor/trans and make my monery back. It started right up so I said what the hell whats another project when you have so many . Ofcourse it needs some love the drain tubes had clogged and the car had alot of water inside after 4 years ands the sunroof was complete toast. The only good seat was the rear but besides interior needing replaced the only bad rust was outside pax rear quarter with normal rust nothing horrible. Im hoping Ill be getting the quarter fixed in a few weeks and then getting the exterior repainted oem color, anyway here are some pics.

passenger side


Pulled interior out


driver side


sunroof taken out


junkyard sunroof put in and working again now


dirty *** engine bay after 5 years


I picked up some 90-91 si seats and started swapping the new covers and foam over to my 89 seat frames


the mess began


finally done with seats and tried them out


pretty much thats is for the last couple weeks I have ordered new door panels and headliner and new carpet kit all oem. I am still looking for a 90-91 rear seat bottom in good shape if anyone knows where to find one let me know I just need the cover and Ill pay you for your time.

I also found that I need new valve stem seals which I am doing this weekend along with the usual suspects for good measure ie timing belt,headgasket and such just since ill be in there already.

 

For seats why dont you jsut get some GSR cloth seats? I had those in mine, very comfy BTW. Nice hatch. Ill stick around for it

 

i like!!!!

as far as sun roofs go, i got an hf crx, i was wondering if i got an si top, how hard would it be to swap them?

 

Why can't I find things like that! My found project cars made me grow my first grey hair! Keep it going. I'll send you a pm with a question. Subscribed.

 

Nice find my man! its always better when i project car runs when you buy it haha.. I have a 91 civic hatch im parting out.. If you need anything from it Im selling everything for pretty cheap just send me a PM!

 

gotta love oem replacement stuff!

 

yea and the high oem prices

 

My local Honda dealer told me the carpets and headliner were discontinued. Even the sub seals for the doors and discontinued and I desperately need them. Who do you get the parts through?

 

You can get a carpet from ebay. One of my buddies has an ebay carpet in his crx and it fit perfect and looks oem.

And that was an awesome deal on the hatch w/the zc.

 

what the hell do you need back seats for?

 

gee i don't know, sitting? sex? storage for fragile parts? kids seat? to make the car look oem? oh, and carpet i'd recommend jc whitney. i've seen their carpet already and it looks pretty decent.

 

well lets see, kids are kinda out of the question cause they just bounce around, friends, drunk buddies, people who pass out at parties......lots of things
SEX!?! trust me on this one, not in a Hatch back, maybe in a Escape or something, but a hatch is THE HARDEST thing i have EVER done. by them time to start, it hurts to much to move!

 

way to go man!! looking forward to seeing this one completed, this is funny because i just grabbed another 89 si with a blown timing belt and dropped in a dohh zc as well, ill be posting pics in a day or so..

 

Nice what ecu are you running mine was using the si ecu and it was fine but I decided to go with the correct ecu and picked up a jdm pm7 which uses the cat converter off ebay for 45$ it should be here this week

 

Sweet! I want to see this one completed very soon!

 

Good find

 

How is it going? New pics?

Man Ive been busy with work and spent last weekend driving from new jersey to virginia beach picking up parts for interior and exterior - and I got the head apart to do new valve stem seals so hopefully I will have that back on this weekend and get on some of the other parts on the car. Heres a pic of everything I picked up over the weekend. I picked up a bumper and filler ,hood,fenders,side panels,headliner (needs recovering),hatch cover and more.



took the head apart for new HG and valve stem seals and started to semi clean up the engine bay alittle it was really nasty after sitting for 5 years

 

I recovered my headliner and also got my sir power heated manual folding mirrors and got my pm7 ecu for the zc Ill throw up some pics later today after i get my damn garage cleaned up some

 

waiting for pics of the recovered headliner, what did you use?

 

This project looks great. We need to meet up soon.

 

Been busy but got around to doing a couple things nothing major really. I recovered the headliner in the fabric material instead of the vinyl and got my new used door panels in also. I also got my manual folding power heated mirrors and picked up a set of the interior power mirrors covers. Also got my jdm pm7 for the dohc zc so I can take out the pm6 that was in there. Also recovered the armrest

 

Very nice, the 89 Si is where it's at. I like how you put the 90-91 red stripe seats in as well, they match the car's red. Are you gonna keep it red or repaint it?

 

very nice man, awesome pickup, those pistons look fkin brand new!

 

Great buy! I wish I could find things like this.
