Icon2 92 CX Project: My first swap

I've been a lurker since 2002 and an official member since 2007 when I made my second account. Regardless of my history, I finally own a house and have a beautiful 2 car garage with a storage unit on the back. I have not owned a honda since I was hit by a semi in my 93 h22 prelude (bad accident, but luckily walked away), but given the empty garage I was sucked back into the game with this hatch.

I decided to get the hatch with the intent of scrapping the d15 and swapping a b18b (cost dictated motor decision). I found the longblock on tiger jap for $550 but that's about as far as I've gotten. A parts list and some links would be great if you have the time to help out noob.

ITT: Any advice before I start my swap?

Not even a remark about the beautiful paint? btw, the car is 100% stock aside from the nasty paint

Good luck with the build. I just did the same. I bought a 92 CX for $400 and swapped a B16 in it.

Are there any body-shop guys out there who know about these to fix the rust? It seems like a fairly cheap and easy way to do a proper fix...
