Default My 500$ Project Civic EG!

Hi Everyone. I've been reading on Honda-Tech for a while and just decided to become a member a few days ago. My name is JF and i'm from Montreal, Canada.
I just bought this 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback for 500$. It's stock with 399,000km on the original motors (d16b7). So far I have put 1999 Si seats, replaced the rear quarter panels with new ones, and added some vision amber corners. Since winter is coming soon I will wait till next summer for the paint job and putting a new motor. There were also no front and rear bumpers when I bought the car so I had to pick some up too. Tell me what you think so far, even if it isn't much. I will also use this thread to put updated pics of my EG.

Nice price for a running hatch. I think you should repaint the wheels.

with some wheels and paint, you'll have a sick hatch, and for less than what most people pay for a stock hatch

Maybe the ugliest car to get a full "photoshoot". ha

Well worth $500.
Good luck with your project.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Don't worry this car won't be rice. No M3 mirrors and such. I plan on putting a B18B just cause I think there is alot of potential for this DOHC non-vtec. I had one in another hatch I used to have and I liked it. I also want to change the colour of the paint. I'm not sure yet, maybe black, white, dark green, gunmetal. I have no idea. Lower it on some 15's with a good suspension set up and i'm set. I'll post some pics as the project gets better.
