Default 91 Civic - no crank problem (solved)

Ok, heres the deal , Im at the end of my project nothing special , 91 Lx Sedan OBD1 converted w/b16a2 everything in swap is done all the wiring everything , my issue is , i can not get the car to crank (my ignition is missing and have a switch panel to install but for now it is "hot wired") whenever i add power to the starter wire nothing happens (i should add everything in my car works all power everything and they all work except for my turns and hazards ) a relay under my stereo clicks and my starter relay does not , i have tried to bypass it and it still will not start ) there is a small electronic hum from under the dash when power is running thru the car .. I can jump the starter manually and it will crank , i have been trying to figure this out for over a month now , and im to my end with this car , so before i toss it to the curb and cut my losses I thought I might try here ... also this is not main relay related in anyway , (ive got like 5 laying around and still the same thing) all of my fuses are good - the only thing missing from the car is the AC under hood chassis sub-harness I do not want to run a hot wired starter so this is not a option , i would like to fix whatever the **** is wrong thanks , ask any additional info needed to help diagnoses the issue i am home all day @ the garage trying to figure this out

Did you paint the transmission?
Or at least verify the ground on the trans?

More than likely the transmission to body ground.
