Hello everyone. I'm from brazil and this thread is to show you guys the
project i will be working on the next 3-4 years: my civic EG6 rebuild.


The goal is to fix everything... bodywork, painting, suspension and then put a K-Series inside.


First day with the car

Parking into the garage

First step: Remove everything before bodywork and painting

The amount of parts removed in the first day:












Second day removing parts..







Interior needed a bath to clean the red dust..













Problem with the drivers seat bolt thread:










Racing style lol








Then the interior was completed removed.

 

So we started the engine removal:





pizza before hardwork:


the friends




engine in the ground


body in the air !


wtf?


Room for the k-series




Hapiness after another step completed


But havent last long... me realizing the problem i was getting into. lol


Parts storage




And always clean your hands

 

**reserved**

 

Que legal! Vai ser o primeiro EG com um K Series ne?!? Todos os EGs no Brasil tem um B16? Quando morrei no Minas eu vi talvez 5 civics.

 

awesome work so far

 

yes.. first EG6 with K-series in brazil.. if i finish it soon enought.. i believe i could buy the K-series only at the end of the next year ;( $$

Tkz!


No more reps?
Im needing a few opinions on bodywork.. the car have a floor crumpled problem.. i will post pics later.. but i believe its ok to fix.

 

How you guys would clean that dirt inside the car?

Water bash ?

 

regardless the low reply number

here is the updates:

Bodywork!

this is the part that worries me most...
the car had a knock on the front driver's side


so i would like the opinion of experts..


of these problems, which are of greatest concern?



1)





2)





3) crack





4)












5) and the worst part...












6)






what you guys think?

Thankz

 

Honestly, I think you should find a new shell. The only way this will be worth your time is if you know how to weld. Even then you still need to have it taken to a frame shop to have the frame pulled and corrected. I can tell you from experience it is easier to find a cleaner shell than to move forward from where you are at the moment. I don't know how much you paid for that or if you have cash for another one but if you continue, it is going to be some real work ahead.

 

Hmm you really think this shell isn't fixable?

I know how to weld but i dont have a MIG/TIG yeat =( im planning to send to someone..

I know i have to take this to the frame shop to correct it.. thats fine isnt?

I know it will be hard work.. i have time.. i just want to see if it's possible to fix and if it will be good..


Any of th damages are really bad? I mean.. the floorpan just hammer back and take care of the rust i belive.. cutting an putting a new floorpan will be worst, right?

Do the bodywork / painting.

And correct the chassis in a frame shop..

It should work dont?

I would really love more replies here =(

Thankz guys.

 

Honestly, that thing looks like it fell off a ship and was recovered. IMO I think its not worth trying to salvage that shell. Not only does it have frame damage, it's rusting through the floor pan. I say pick up a clean shell and just use this as a parts car for whatever you can salvage from it.

 

I say put it back together with a D15, junk yard body panels, "align" the rails caveman style and a Maaco paint job. Spend the profits on a good shell.

 

Yup personally I'd find a better shell to start with. Cant knock your enthusiasm though!

 

Hmmm shells here isnt easy to find (EG Shells)

And the red stuff isnt rush! it's red dirt...


Really nobody think it's worth saving?

There are few rust spots.. not much... most of it is red dirt

 

Well since there hard to find in your country, it would be worth saving. To us guys in the U.S., It wouldn't be. If your import laws aren't strict, I would import a clean EG6 from Japan, New Zealand, or Australia. Whatever would be cheaper.

 

Yah, its hard to find EG6 and EK4s here.. ;(

And the import laws sucks.. just 30years old+ or brand new stuff.



So.. the target is fix it!

First step should be frame correct right?
Then fix the bodywork...
Then paint striping and repaint...

 

Yes

Do a full tear down to make sure there's no hidden damage.I would also order a nose clip, you need a new bulkhead and frame apron. If you plan on keeping this car, you might as well do everything proper.

 

Full tear down of course.

And sorry i dont know what is a nose clip neither frame apron ;( What's ? can you explain or pics?

I'm already looking for a new bulkhead. I just dont know if get a replica or a junkyard one.


I will do everything proper thats why i'm asking help before start doing things hehe.
and i have no rush on finishing it.. i believe it will take 3-4years to run with a K20 inside


Thankz.

 

looks like alot of work...id say its doable tho...that rear quarter panel looks bad tho...


on a side note are you planning on keeping the rear interior in? i really need that T support bar that holds the rear seats up...

 

probably not phantomEG, but i'm in brazil hehe

the shipping of that would be very very expensive hehe


i believe it's all fixable.. lets see. i will post updates after frame shop

 

Front nose clip is a whole front end cut from the shift lever area. it includes everything you need. a frame apron is your number three picture.

 

Props for taking this on.

As stated though, I'd find a new shell.

 

new shell isnt a option =/ hard to find and expensive

but... i see so many projects here with a worse shell.. dont know why everyone thinks its a good option to buy a new shell..?

there are few rust spots... the car is just with a lot of red dirt... and a few bodywork needed..

 

Alright. Well do work then.

 

Hehe let's go

I know it's a lot of work.. but it's possible right?

I will be taking to frame shop this week...

Thankz for the help so far

More updates this week.
