Default My very first EF SI- Did I score?

After years of planning to get myself an EF, I finally got one! It's not like I can't find one, it's just I'm not sure if I will like it.

I've had few EG 4DR ferio/EKs, but never had an EF before. I just picked up one today that needs TLC, and boy I'm extremely happy and satisfied.

I love the boxy edges of EF vs round edges of a 5th gen civic. Price? A whopping $200 and some change...haha. I can't say I can complain, clean title to boot and everything seems original.

Well after a quick wash, here's some pictures. I need to yank out all the interior including carpet and do a thorough wash, so no interior and engine pics for now. Body needs some TLC and paint needs some claybar and wax but otherwise straight enough.

Haha that's so true, but looks like it's going to be a fun build! Keep us posted with all the work.

If the back seat doesn't have the stank of your dirty, sweaty, random sexual encounter.....

You didn't score.

EF looks clean though.

Yeah it's non running right now, but it does crank. PO driven it last November so hopefully it's not something major.

It's parked awfully close to the pine tree and gate, so it's hard to take pictures from that angle.

It does need some cosmetic work on the fender but it's not very major restoration. Hood needs replacement too.

I love EF now that I have one. I've had I think about 8 EG/EK and I was always fascinated by EF9 by looking at pictures.

Now I can say I love it eventhough it needs a lot of TLC and cleaning.

It's 91 ED7, no rust clean title. Has some battle damage here and there but nothing big. Only issues are on fender/door section that needs to be straightened out, hood and some clear coat at the roof.

Otherwise, front end/rear/quarter looks straight and needs some TLC. But it's a good start I think.

I yanked out the seats and interior yesterday. I love it!

yeah thanks guys. It is indeed clean title and Autocheck history is clear as well.

I will have more pics once I got something done to it and make the car looks more decent. Right now it only has a single car wash and yanked out interior on it's belt...

Can't wait to work on it! I've been scouting for parts already. I like it a lot. I can't believe I didn't get an EF sooner...

Btw, here's my long time car stable and I'm sure EF Si will be part of it for the long haul.
E30M3, Cosworth Merc 190E and EF Si...
