plese move if needed.

i bought my car
(91 STD hatch a year ago as a DD and maybe later on as a project car
i lived in NC and always had to dre to work
now i have moved to CT and i can walk to work everyday noproblm

but yet ive ben holding back to do any work on it or remove anythign on it dude to lack of knowledge and not wanting to royally F*** my car up

ive searched the forums
iv read manuals
and even tinkere with small thngs on te car that i know for sre how to handle


what should i do to really start this prject without messing up horribly?
if i ask for hel[, i get told to search, even if there is no other topic on it.

 

that would all depend on what your goals are.
most people do one thing at a time. until int all comes together.
others take everything apart, re- do it all to what they want, and put it all back together.
I wouldnt suggest that unless you are very experienced.

just pick what you want to do first, buy all the stuff your going to need for the project,
then get to work.

 

Well depends on what you want to do. I make a build sheet on paper of everything I want to do starting with outside and working in. I'm sure other's might to. What are you goals with the car? do you still want it to be a dd or is it mostly going to be a weekend cruiser and track *****?

 

With my CRX I ripped everything out and got way past the point of no return. I wouild just pick a couple things to accomplish each day.

2 months later, done deal.

 

take ur time, learn as much as possible

have fun

 

it all depends on what you're trying to do with it......

 

anytime i start on a new project i sit down, and write on a peice of paper the things id for it. and start doing them one at a time. so just sit down and think, do u wanna drag it? show it? dd it? then make a build sheet to match what u want your car to do, then start from there

 

Well... how much do you want to spend?

I recomend doing it in stages.. like brakes - suspension - power. At least for me trying to do too much at once was pretty overwhelming considering I didn't have much experience.

 

I lack serious knowledge in cars. It really helps to just tinker around with small stuff. Asking questions on here helps too, "of course". I also like to read alot of threads on here to see what other people are doing. So i can learn from them
