Default 89 civic si build thread

Well this is my build I was on another site but just want to post it on here to show you guys my build. Its a 1989 honda civic si hatchback. Ive had the car for about 7years now. Its my first car & yes I still have it shes my baby. I put a bunch of hard work to get here to were she is now. Took my time doing everything and im still not done. Have way more plans coming soon.

So heres the pics sorry there wont be a write up of what I was doing in each pic do to being on a diff site at the time. Lmk what you guys think.














Now time for some bodywork,










Fresh paint...



















Bad one
































Something for the hatch...














































6/18/11












Just test fittin the rims today took em off not feelin them fat tires lookin for a new look.











,








Now this is a new update as of 11/06/11

Got bored so its time to have some fun just got a CRX dash from some cool dude I met last night for a steal price just missing something not much but heres a pic of the dash. Will be putting it in soon will take pics for you guys.





Got some parts over the weekend that i needed. Just a few more parts.

Dont like rust so lil sanding and paint wont hurt lol
Before


After


also got a console thanks to eG! i went to two junkyards n no luck even called a few. But this ones for now till i find a cleaner one.



So today at work I put in the CRX dash didnt get to take a pic of every move in taking out the dash but took as many as I could. Still need parts that im missing lik the 88-89 trim bazel, e hand brake console, center dash vent clock, radio braket bezel. But this is just a start.






Wires are all on the new dash now..


Now time for the vin swap




The gun


Old dash also for sale b/o

Clean EF. I've been wanting to put a CRX dash in mine as well. Was it difficult?

you need a nicer camera to really showoff the car... many of those pictures are too blurry,...

looks like a solid hatch build
