cable trans in a hydro car?

 

more pictures for you guys

















old ef and da i had



parted this one out like 5 months ago



i used to own the red teg i traded it for this hatch from a friend

 

hydro conversion on that piece

 

Im also confused by "new oem fenders"...whats up with the painted over and wrongly positioned side markers?

 

i got the fenders like that the lights dont work so i didnt bother taping off will get new ones....and they actual Honda parts not remakes. Im confused as to why my fender lights mean so much to you didnt u read i have new ones

 

I was only asking because i assumed the fenders were actually "new"...not just new to you, and was hoping you werent the one who put those side markers on lol...

 

oh god no sorry yes "new to me" not brand new....i wanted the old dingy ones gone and one guy had all the parts so for now ill work with what i got once i replace the rad support ill get actual new fenders and install the lights proper

 

looks like the beginning to a great build, wish i was worth a damn with a rattle can lol

 

is this going to be a daily driver or a track car?

 

thank you lol im pretty decent with a spray can (got practice)

this will be a daily driver/good weather fun car since i should have a winter beater

 

well i got all the rest of the parts ordered so this weekend im going lsv fellow enthusiasts my first swap on my own car wish me luck!
