Default daily beater build thread

ok so a little while ago i got a 91 dx hatch, I had another 91 with a B16A that spun a rod bearing, so i traded it for the car i have now amnd a 2000 cr125, I go to school for honda PACT training, so the build isnt going to get too crazy yet, becasue im the typical broke college kid, and i also an 88 HF CRX that im building along with a 04 ex coupe i nned to pick up, plus im loveing the D15 gas mileage, on to the pics

heres the picture the kid sent me before we traded and the first day home, it had horrendous halo lights and the hood was trashed, plus the dash wiring was a mess, the gas gauge was backwards and the cluster didnt light up, the dash was all cracked and broken in the corners, and it had oh so wonderful cut springs

well my fuel pump decided to die on me, so instead of a tow truck my cousins del sol did the trick lol

and thanks to the previous owner for putting a new gas tank in, with only ONE strap that was impossible to get off, i wondered how i could change the pump well aparently he also thought about that for me, with the hole he cut in the floor under the rear seats well anyway i picked up a pump out of a 99 Si for free and the cars back up and going
