Default My 96 civic sedan

hey guys im kinda new ive been a member for quite some time just have never posted. i currently have my 96 civic sedan that is a very long term project. i bought the car back in november and didnt really know if i wanted to keep it or not but i did finally decide to keep it and started buying parts.
here is what it looked like well before i got ahold of it (idiot had it between me and the previous owner that took this pic)

first couple things i installed were cosmetic things front lip yellow fogs and cf trunk.


then the motor blew up so started putting on some parts i had bought but never had the time to install.



then i slammed it down to the ground just to see how it looked




onto today on thursday i placed a large order with honda to get all the new seals rings belts water pump etc to get my new motor together.

How long did you have it before the motor blew? Hopefully you didn't pay much.

all these views and very few comments noone wants to say anything

heres a little for everyone
i got a the driver side rear body control arm mount mine was pushed about 2 inches toward the gas tank. that part should be getting welded on this weekend and then i can put the asr rear brace and asr 24mm sway bar on. I also found a gsr front swar bar to kinda stiffen up the front.

and the motor will be going in this weekend i just called my local honda dealer and all of my seals, water pump, timing belt, rings, and valve seals are in
