I got my hatch yesterday. Its in a little worse condition than i was hoping for but ive been looking to long to be too picky. Worked on it a while with some friends last night. Saneded it down and now its ready to be reprimed. I need a few parts though. weather stripping on the windshield, the bracket that holds the headlight on passenger side, the part of the tail lights that are on the tailgate, and both bumbers. the body is in pretty decent condition, meaning it has no dents. it just needs to be primed and painted. the motor will be going in in a couple weeks so hopefully i can get everything out of the way that i need to before then. heres a pic, i wanted to get one while it was lighter out but i just started working on it and didnt get around to taking pics til later. we were sanding it down which is why it looks the way it does.

 

oh and does anyone know any junkyards in the baltimore area that may have honda parts. i wanna try to get some things there before i buy em new.

 

what the hell is the guy in the background doing?

 

haha i knew someone would ask that. hes replacing the O ring on his fuel pressure regulator, guess that was the easiest way to get to it

no motor in it right now. gonna have an h23a1, getting from my friend whos putting an h22 so im getting a good price. a lot of people ask my why i would put that motor in but its different, its a good price, and its got a lot of torque compared to B series and i love torque.

 

Did you happen to buy that in Nottingham, MD? I think I drove all the way from PA to look at that.

 

Good Luck man...I just picked up an EG myself...and putting it together piece by piece...Have Fun!

 

yeah you're going to need the good luck, but keep us updated with pics of progress

the wheels are back on, they were just off to put new brake pads on and get under the car easier to take off the bumpers.
