Default Pics-Slowly resuscitating a 93 hatch

Here is the story, Skip if you like.
Note: this is a slow rebuild, I have a wife and a house but I enjoy 92-95 hatches and always did.

Story goes: first hatch bought was automatic where i was stationed in NC! Bought it to Cali then I got a b18c and thanks to hondatech I was able to do my first b series swap and conversion by myself in 2 months (2hrs a day).
Soldering bad ecu, I bought from a htech member( I wont for get you) and integrating all the wire into the oem harness.
So I Swapped it and changed bad sensors and what not, ran outstanding! Until! It got jacked in front of my house. Pieces of defecation!

I bought another hatch 800 buckaroos ...horribly horribly "modified"
Direct connection HIDs to the battery.
Welded seat rails.
Egay camber kit- butchered by rats maybe
Blown suspension
DA Ta's with what I found to be CrX correction arms...
Egay Ta solid bushings (Horrible!)
Ignition was all chewed up
No horn: wiring was cut
Ect! Ect! Ect!
Thank you Honda Tech and Ron,forming fathers, and members for your contribution of priceless information.

How it sat:



side markers not working and fender over cut. Sorry for bad quality first night after getting it. Horrible snap steer due to bad trailing arm bushings and wrong correctionl arms. Drove it 55mph on the freeway scariest ride of my life

First thing I disliked about the baby:
Wiring!! Wtf?!?!
Please if you are going to do something to your car or anything in life.... Do it right.



All the extra wires where removed. Looks like they spliced over 10 cables!

Power doors on the way!
I grabbed sedan doors... I know there will be some extra cables that run to the back we'll find out.

My concern is if the actuator and the window assembly will work/fit in the hatch!


Wiring is in both doors hoping the window assembly and actuator work

Now back to the doors; went mining for interior door harness and low and behold found an ex... But with chopped connectors :/ took about 2 hrs to remove. Had to find a sedan and clipped off the connectors :/





Going to compare wires.. Removed bigger gauge wires which I believe ran to the back of the sedan. Still have them in case.

With a little swapping around they work! Not direct bolt on but easy to do. Sedan power window assembly in a hatch! Shame on those that say it couldn't be done!




Sedan window assembly in hatch works with slight modifications

A lot of good work , time , and effort. ��
You should get a alarm while your wiring all that up now instead of doing it when it's in the car

Only downside about the sedan front window assembly in the hatch is that it doesn't close 100% it still closes but only to about half of the weather strip


In person it doesn't look so drastic as this picture haha. Had the extra parts laying around and thought, why not. I'm sure I can get them to close 100% but this is for the mean time

If u still have your manual window regulators u can check this out


Good investment , up to u . Looks like u already got them in and working just hope that u don't hear wind while ur driving if u can't get the window over the weather strip every time

They do sell jdm window visors that are real flush with the rest of the car if u look for them but they're not that cheap

Nice thanks but its much to late haha and its easier for me to use the oem Frankenstein. Only takes 25 min each side if you don't confuse yourself. And I can actually get it to close all the way just wanted to see if it would work first.

Thanks bro, really

Soooo.. Power doors installed oh yea

All you need to do is swap the actautor. The picture shows it removed from the sedan assembly. If you have a steady hand you don't need to remove the manual one at all.
