Default 1994 Honda EH

Just got a 94 DX hatch a couple of months ago. The exterior and interior was really rough, but the engine was rebuilt and it drives like a new car! I am in the process of restoring the hatch to it's glory days, and would like to use all OEM Honda Accessories. Here is what I have done so far:
Interior upgrades:
Double Din optional audio console with OEM Equalizer
Armrest (New from Honda)
New OEM Floor Mats
Rear Speaker kit and grills (Got black grills, would prefer gray)
OEM Honda 3000 radio (Works great)
Bazooka bass tube
New OEM shift **** (Other one was pretty beat up)
Alarm
Current View
Current View, but changed out black armrest for gray one.


Original Interior - Front
Original Interior - RearExterior:
I had the car painted with OEM Harvard Blue paint
repainted all the moldings and door mirrors with Rustoleum Trim paint
got new door/ window moldings
new roof moldings
replaced damage fender
Lowered car on coilovers
Integra GSR rims (Fat Fives)
Clear corner lenses
New antenna
new Civic DX sticker logo for rear
OEM muffler tailpipe tip
Added rear Honda emblem
New OEM Hood Bra
New OEM mud guard set
Door edge guards (not OEM)
New rear wiper attachment
added license plate frames
Fog Lights (Not installed yet)
front bumper lip (not installed yet)




After Paint


With Hood Bra

Engine when I first got it
Pretty Dirty



Engine as it stands now





Well, not sure what else to do to the car. It is pretty much complete with OEM accessories. Any ideas?

Beautiful Car! I am not sure what else you could do while still trying to maintain the OEM theme.

An easy, cheap, and pretty inarguable improvement you could make would be to paint the valve cover.

Fun and easy to do as a small weekend project Respect for bringing some glory back to an old hatch.

This must be a states thing.

Here in BC, there is tons of Hatches still floating around in many states of disrepair. Seeing a rust free one is rare but tons of these bombing around.

Currently there is a rare VX in near pristine shape I was oggling for 3800 on cragslist....

Around my middle class american town you can find lots of EGs, also in various stages of despair. Different colored body panels, rust, random rims, broken windows, blowing smoke, duct tape, bungee cords holding the hood closed. Lots of stuff that I bet most states wouldn't let on the road. Indiana is a little lax. Cracked windshields are for some reason no problem.

A few clean ones that are taken care of. Mostly people I know.

It definitely varies by region, but here in Texas (and while I was in Kansas) it's INCREDIBLY rare that I see EG hatches, and I can't even remember the last time I saw one in good condition besides mine (and mine took a lot of restoration to get where it is). Even coupes seem to be dying out a bit.
