so here it is after a little struggle i have my very first build thread i love hondas and im really into them ive always wanted an EF or EG hatch and make it my very own..swap it keep it clean and unique and ricefree

btw im 16 lol

my very first car was a 1992 corolla for $800 and put some 17s on that bitch(had no other choice for the money)
SOLD

then i came along a 1990 STD hatch for 300 RUNNING(did i mention my dad has a towing company?)
so i got it over the summer i was really exited cause it had nice paint and was stick and i thought i had an amazing find since it was almost completely stock and was owned by an old guy and not a ricy teenager but i knew nothing about EFs
car wasnt in bad condition overall even though the interior was **** and it was tan leather -.-...but as i did my research and started finding out more about hondas i found out it was the cheapest and it was 4speed the car had alot of mileage on it and then i started having doubts about keeping it and putting my money and time into it...i bought an Si cluster some amber corners for it and some fat fives..but at the end it just wasnt coming out right and everytime it rained i had a puddle in my trunk with rust that just broke my heart i had to drill holes...the paint the car itself had just been in a crash and the front and engine bay wasnt fixed right...so i finally SOLD it for $700

when i had boh sitting outside my house..


then i found another EF this one was a DX with a blown head gasket that looked really clean so i got my hands on it for $500 only bad thing is AUTO so i got the stock d15b2 back running with $200 and heres where my build thread starts SORRY FOR MY LIFE STORY lol

so far this is how my project starts thanks for looking and constructive criteria please no hating...feel free to post any ideas or opinions...

good job keep up the good work. so are u gonna go with the stock motor? or up grade?

 

for now ima keep my d15 with a mpfi swap a short ram headers and a brand muffler later ill decide if i bost it or a y8 but i wanna go b20vtec eventually...

 

sounds like a plan... good luck!

 

those d15 with y8 head are mean bro they make like 10.1 compression. if u do it up correct

 

mini me swap right?

a6 or y8 head?

 

Looks good. My CRX had the rusty door trims aswell. Simple fix. Pretty much what you said man...sand & paint. Are you going to get a new bumper?

 

i know but what grit should i use?

and no the bumpers good just that since the cars lowered it unclipped i gota figure out what came off and adjust it from that other sde i dont think ima need a new bumper

 

yeah a mini me y8 head.

 

how do you find cars for so cheap?

 

You seriously quoted all those pics? Jesus, and he said in the post that you quoted that his dad owns a towing company.

 

Good starter project, best of luck with turning into something reputable.

 

good start!
