backround:
my name in adoni and im a automotive addict. ive been in the garage with my dad building rear engine fiats and mopars from a young age. my current job is a classic car restoration shop. my first car was just like my current car black si ef with a b16a and a ls trans what a coincide. this car is by far better the theroy is to have a relativly stiff chassis not usin a roll cage but gussets placed in certain spots on the chassis (abarth style). decent power when i get the dough but for now stock b16a power on santa barbara moutain roads is enough for me some scary drops haha. i want to be able to take it to button willow and willow springs one day so i do need some power. im going to fabricate custom suspension and strut conectors for this car in the future. and get some willwods in front bigger swaybars and a lsd.

more pics and updates after i update some pictures let me know what you guys think

 

that dash looks really good

 

agreed, thats a nice looking dash

 

more to come obvi a work in progress between school and multiple other restorations like this 55 chevy custom that was on the cover of hot rod magazine on a rotisserie that i built that im sadly doing better work than on my own car. just a pause till i snap some more shots of my car

 

primer
some spray dont mind the cracking i color sanded that out
grey bay with a rywire harness comming in an obd1 ecu clip conversion is a pain in the butt( i got it to work though)

i put on the inner 4th gear syncro slider on backwards causing cracks so im swaping for a b16 trans cable hydro dont know yet. body i know is **** but i need to get the car on the road and bared . but im putting the west wing rear bumper on and leaving the side skirts out. the kit is really wide sticks out past the front bumper but a relif cut and shorter mounts you can tuck it in to get the lines of the body. ef9 front ends are to expensive 2 gs or else i would have one the 90 91 front bumper looks like buck. im trying to bring back the late 90s early 2000s look but toned way down mostly of a modern look just inspired from that era from looking at old super streets from 97.

 

not rex related, but do you have better pics of the tail light area on the 55? I like the work you did there, but would like to see it better

 

moving foward on the engine bay
sorry for the i phone pics

 

will do as soon as i can use my girls camera i will also get some better pics of the ride

 

very nice build man. It's coming along nicely!! I have to agree the dash came out great. It looks like all the areas you're touching so far, look good! Keep the updates coming.

 

Yea, dash really did came great.
Your whole project is looking great.

 

lots of **** has been going on but im slowly starting to work on this crap box again. i know it looks **** btw haters=].

some mild porting pr3 head
what rear bumper is this?
before i blew up the engine
reinforced baffled oil pan
new project in shop
i need a cam

 

looks like somebody is putting in the rich time
good job on the progress man
that rear bumper looks like a broken mugen one

 

How did you blow your engine?

 

I need to refinish my dash, I had thought about flocking, but wasn't sure how it would look. I am definitely doing it now after seeing yours.

 

oil pump took a poo

 

ye dude it comes out great but if you wanna thrash your car as a daily not suggested the dash becomes a no no square . and it actually reduces glare as my buckets are mounted on the floor rendering the sunvisors useless. so its actually a mod i guess haha.

 

thanks my friend . and haha i guess its broken but i trimmed it so.......

 

sorry i dont have any pics on hand but i can tell you its a packard tail light conversion a popular custom car rear tail light option.

 

good project

 

im into 35mm....


new box and tool set


switching to b16b>=]

reasons that im not working on the civic is i built this in about a year from a bare frame. i did everthing but paint so if you guys need work done and live in california pm me =].
