Default ekeddie builds a dc2.....in one month

What up guys, once again i put myself in a position where a car must be done in one month. I was suppose to show my white hatch @ Wekfest California but wasn't able to make it, then i built another hatch but sold it right before i heard Wekfest was coming to Dallas. So in the spirit of running out of time, me and my buddies (Balony & Timmy), are attempting to build a car in one month for the upcoming Wekfest Dallas show.

I would like to thank and give a shout out to our current sponsors!!!

The day I brought her home, dirty *** hell, been sitting in a garage for 4+ years, but the best part no rust, clean title and 90k original miles!




Then the tear down






The holy grail of hondas
*before*


*after*


Took a trip to Japan...the closest we could get stateside, Dallas Jdm Motors FTW!!!



Also some goodies that were stored away


Finally a much needed face lift





Thanks to Day Custom Engine, motor is almost ready for assembly, fresh as always!


How the car sits as of now, working on prep so Kustomz Unlimited can work their magic


UPDATE 9/11/11
finished prepping the bay , ready for paint, hopefully this week



then as i was trying to finish some misc. stuff on the bay, my hand had a run in with the grinder, hope it doesn't slow me down too much.



UPDATE 9/12/11
pulled the car out while i finished grinding the excess metal on the firewall


cleaned up the tranny, was way to dirty


UPDATE 9/20/11
Sorry haven't updated in a few days, turned out my original place to get the car painted fell through due to time constraints, so for the past few days i have been trying to find a place that could fit me in and finish in time, luckily i found a place. Me and the guys have just being working on the small things here and there in the mean time, but i really couldn't do much, everytime i tried to work, my cut would reopen haha, but nothing a little napkin and masking tape couldn't fix. The car should be back later this week, then thebrake lines and harness/wiring/etc can be finished.

Car being taken to paint!


Motor finally assembled!


UPDATE 9/23/11
Picked up the car from paint...in the pouring rain


Timmy & Balony came by and we managed to get the lines ran and headlight harness pretty much finished


UPDATE 9/25/11
Motor is pretty much finished, just waiting on the valve cover to be finished and need to acquire the stuff for the fuel setup and its good to go in!


Header got coated


UPDATE 9/29/11
Spent the past new days searching for parts, finally got most of the things bought.

Finally its in!


Also started on the other project cuz I got tired of looking at it sit there.


Cooper loves watching


UPDATE 10/01/11
Everything in the engine bay is pretty set, just waiting for harness and fluids.




And the headache begins



UPDATE 10/02/11
Got the front end on and pretty much lined up, just waiting on the grill to get back from paint.


UPDATE 10/03/11
The guys came by last night and pretty much got most of the engine harness ran, just enough to get power. Almost got the car started but no spark so gotta check some stuff tonight and buy some more things to get stuff finished.

Headlight harness working!


UPDATE 10/12/2011
Sorry for the late update guys, things have been pretty hectic lately. 5 nights a week working on the car til the sun comes up made it really hard to update....so here you go.

Finally got the car running!


But the motor as been giving us a headache left and right, but after 4 straight days we got the kinks out. Big thanks to Timmy and Balony!
Had to get her wet!



It took 2 days at least pulling off and apart the coil overs 5 times to get the car ride somewhat normal.


Got all the lights working!


CAR IS FINISHED!!!
Thanks to everyone that made this build possible!!! The car attended Wekfest Dallas this past weekend, it did well with the crowd but not with the judges, but its all good. Getting the car built in one month was all the achievement we needed.



The car is back home now and sitting on my Cpr's
