Default Need help restoring my EG

Hey folks, so I just bought an 93' Civic Si EG that was in need of a lot of love. No crazy loud exhaust kit or anything but the entire inside of the car was felt. Like, literally the entirety of the inside of the car. All red and black. They didn't even bolt any of the panels back on and I don't have the bolts that they took out. So now my amazing gf and I are working on restoring this once amazing car back to it's former glory. We basically want the entirety of the inside to look completely stock. I will eventually be putting a B-18(Maybe C if I can afford it when it comes time to swap) and aftermarket control arms, coils, and everything to make it perform and last a long time. But when it comes to the interior, I really want a clean stock look.

So anyways, with all that said does anyone know of an online bolt list for the interior or anything that would help me find everything I need to give this car a second chance at life? I think maybe one of the old car manuals like a Haynes or something might do the trick, but as we don't have a super high initial budget for starting this project I was hoping to find a more cost effective online source to reference. It won't be the end of the world if I have to throw down the extra $20 for it or anything, just trying to keep costs low as we are also trying to buy a house at the moment too. Probably not the best time to buy a project car albeit lol, but they are really rare around here and we couldn't pass up the opportunity.

I do apologize if this question has already been asked and answered but I didn't see anything when I searched for it on here earlier, and I looked for about thirty minutes so I hope I am not breaking any forum rules or anything of the like with this thread.

Thanks a ton ahead of time Honda-tech community for any advice or input, I can already tell just by looking around this site that this is going to be a huge help for us in restoring this beauty back to its former glory!

just go to a junkyard and source all the bolts you need.

I would have to drive over 50 miles to maybe find some of the bolts. We unfortunately don't have many junkyards in the area. I may take a trip out to see, but I doubt I will find what I need in the area. Was hoping to just be able to buy the right sized bolts but that may be wishful thinking to even be a possibility.

Thanks for your advice in any case!

Check this site out. Just enter your car info, scroll down to the interior/bumper section and click on what your looking for, a diagram with the parts and bolts should come up.

Finding a hatch in the junkyard in FL is as likely as finding gold in your backyard. If you were closer I could help with a few bolts as i have a couple boxes. Maybe find some local honda guys and raid their stashes

Dude you aren't lying @BiggieBert! These things are pretty rare around here! Especially ones with the black interior plastics. I appreciate the thought of sending parts, but I may just have to see if anyone around here would be willing to come off of some for a couple dollars.

I found an interesting trick for hondapartsnow.com.

Once you enter a vehicle in their website the cookie saves it and you can't do a vehicle look up by part number. So my trick is I use my main browser (i.e. firefox) to search via my vehicle(s). Then when I want to look up by part number I open a different brand browser (i.e. chrome) and plug in a part number. Since I have never entered vehicle data into the site via chrome it then shows me all the years and makes of car that part number was used in.

At least this worked last time I did it a few months back.

I find this trick helpful being the specific car might not be available at the salvage yards while other makes and models are.
