ok so as some of u know i took a hiatus for a few months while working at the dealer .. got acustomed to having a demo for a while so i sold the ek .. here she was before i sold her.




so long story short, i traded my daily accord to my cousin for his 97 ex coupe so i had a good starting point to go from. I wanted a k swap but couldnt afford it so i went h2b. its something i always looked into and liked for the amount of power to money ratio .. Decided on a H23A VTEC longblock and b16 trans .. now, alls i had to do was get the money together?? hmmm .. sooo, i up and just sold this to fund it.

LMK if you want to part with the 96-98 radio bezel, mine is cracked. Thanks!

 

Nice project. Good luck

 

Nice starting point can't wait to see the finished product.

 

wow man that EK was nice and this coupe is lookin good too

 

Damn mark. I didnt even know you sold the hatch. Looks like a good build man.

 

yea def, make me an offer and ill get it out

 

looks like a solid project! sorta makes me miss my ej8 :/

 

working the bay is my favorite part. lol a lot of work

 

This is true .. Seems like I've been sanding forever

 

it's looking good.

 

 

agreed. in for more.

 

bump for h2b

 

I have the same compressor and Ive painted to civic's with it, cool build!

 

look out tonight for more bay UPDATES:: trying to get this thing in primer!

 

Nice nice nice nice, this will be a project to follow!

 

Quick question to the body guys on here, anyone know HOW MUCH this stuff, or other high build or self leveling primer REALLY fills and hides?



reason i ask is ive been putting in a real lot of time sanding. but ive heard people who have done shaves say they've used this stuff & other high build primers to fill all the imperfections.

 

It is good for like small to midsize pinholes.

Basically if you spray that on the firewall, it could potentially fill the VIN. Thats how thick that stuf is.

Its good stuff for bays because sometimes you just CANT get into certain spots with sandpaper or anything.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. **** is so tight in certain spots. You doing body work now?

 

Dude ive been doing body work since day one lol!

I went to school for it. I paint alot of cars now. Me and my buddy opened up a little garage where we do paintjobs and **** in west haven but its not a business.

I work for a racing company now so i get alot of parts and **** at good prices so if u need anything gimme a ring 203-215-8996 i can make some calls and try to help u out a bit.

Whenever ur ready to paint lemme know .. i can pm u some of my work .

Im just surprised to see u in a coupe to be honest.


Im hopefully coming out with an SSBP teg soon.
