It's in! The suede also came in for the interior. Time to take it back apart. I tried to push out a few dents while I was in there, no way I can fix it completely but it definitely looks better.

Wired in the secondary o2 sensor and used the stock y7 header. I get a check engine light every once in a while because I'm pretty sure the 96-98 civic hatchbacks didn't come with the fuel tank pressure sensor and I didn't feel like pulling it out of the donor. I may still pull it out before I send it off, I'm just preoccupied with other things currently.

These coil overs seem a little clunky but they're tight and I paid $250 for them. I thought I'd try them out. After riding on them, I can honestly say I'd rather buy a stock shock and some skunk 2 adjustable springs or equivalent.

The purple cleaner started to take paint off in some areas so I used it very lightly and mostly used soapy water and microfiber towels.

It wasn't fun cleaning these. If you have a die grinder and some wire brush attachments it will be much easier to clean something like this. I went through a lot of small attachments.

Next time I take apart the interior will be to install suede for the headliner, armrest and doors.

Swapping the interior and doors took about 8 hours or so of work by myself. I did it over 3 days. I think I could have spent less time on it if I had a whole day to commit it.

Pulling the wiring from the hatch was much easier. The floor clips for the harness under the seats didn't quite line up though. One clip on each side was about 2-3 inches off. I wouldn't try moving the clip as it could damage the wires and the harness seems to stay in place well with only one clip under the seats.

It's kind of hard to see where it is in the first two photos. Hope this helps.

Clip location. Pain in the ass to slide off. I recommend using a clip removal tool and pulling the clip out of the chassis. I was just trying to save as many of the clips as possible without breaking them.

With the dash out, pulling the harness wasn't bad at all. Just some tight spaces pulling the clips for the harness by the door. Outside angle worked for me on the passenger side and inside angle for the driver side.

Donor car. Also needed a clutch and was being sold to pay for work on another car. Bought for $300 160k on the chassis and vin matching swap. Used for the swap, power conversion and fenders. I've pulled most parts from this car that can be pulled. She'll be going to the yard soon.

Bought this pretty cheap for obvious reasons. The engine and trans are good. Just needed a clutch and a very good clean. I already had a y8 swap for this project from a donor car, along with a few other goodies to swap out. I'll probably rebuild and swap out the z6 block in my girlfriends coupe for the y7. Or sell the y7 swap... dunno
