Hey I just picked up a new ef last month and havent had time to do a writeup yet been super busy workin on it and goin to school n work. Well I got this beasty for only 600$ with a blown head gasket and clean title! Decided to rebuild and make it my own, something I wouldn't mind being seen in, (anythings better than rolling my old beat up ford ranger as a daily ew) so heres some pics and what I've done so far
When i first got her home, body is super straight on this thing execept for the hood.

Engines all kinds of nasty since the guy thought it would b a good idea to put paper towels in the cylinders.. to retain moisture??


I also knew it would be sitting for a bit before I could get the money to rebuild the engine so I decided to do a crx dash swap (I like the way they face better and the ef had all nasty blue interior) and wire tuck on it to try something new.


Only thing that sat a little funky was the cluster, but it doesnt really bother me too much I'll fix it eventually

Ripping out old blue and putting in the crx black interior (some modifications to brackets n such had to be made) all the interior came out of my parts crx

Decided to relocate the battery to go with the wire tuck decided behind the bumper was a good spot

Traced the battery on some cardboard to position it, and ground the stock battery tray down to size to fit in there

Anyway thats all for now I'll keep updating I already have a lot more work done on it but not enough time to post right now, more pics later tonight!

 

Got the battery all in and placed


Lookin all nasty... gotta get it fixed

Wire tuck underway while i wait on rebuild parts



Startin the rebuild gunna make it all shiny n new

Out with my old nasty exhaust

In with a sexy Invidia exhuast 100$ off craigslist for full exhaust

Its all in and wired up

Next order of business get rid of these nasty mexi lamps.. funny thing was I traded them straight across to a Mexican for stock ones.. gotta love stereotypes



Now I just need to find a new hood hoping in the next few days I'll find one thats it for now I'll keep updating as I go
