Default New project car! 95 DX Sedan

So I picked up a 95 DX sedan with a buncvh of parts (engine,trans, spare stuff) for $600.00. Body is actually very straight, just a couple of dents, nothing too major.

I bought it to resell and make some Z$$$ as cash is rather tight for me(working very little now).

So, enough chat, here's some pics of the progress!




T3h damage.

Real VIS carbon fiber trunk! For sale BTW


Interior is pretty good, just need a few misc parts and carpet.




Spare parts.



The other engine is a GSR.. talked about putting it in


So, here's when we started swapping the engine in...


Ta daaaa!


I have some moar pics, but I'll upload em later. Gotta go buy some injectors and a few misc parts and she'll be running today!

Here's my other project, that the B18 is out of.. currently shaving and tucking the bay. NEVER do that BTW... wayyyyy too much work!


Moar updates later!

I was wondering why you paid so much for that. 600? Then I seen your in FL like me and people think hondas are gold down here. I could have picked that car up in my home town in Ohio fer about 200.

He drives her every day to work
Such a great little car. He did pull some of that driver's side dent out but he's wanting to finish these two projects before he goes crazy with filler and a re-spray. So I'm sure he'll have updates in the near future.

Got some moar work done on teh project. I snagged some OEM gray carpet and cleaned it up and also bought sideskirts.

I pulled the seats and the console, getting it ready for the carpet to go in. Also installed the steering wheel from a 96 GSR. Airbag stuff didn't line up so It won't have a functional driver airbag, though it's just a wiring situation that I may try and fix myself, I dunno.
I also installed the shifter linkages and got the short shifter installed as well as the corner lights.

I need just a few misc hoses and a hood and she'll be ready to crank and sell!
