You've sold and bought back that car 3 times? Or its your 3rd EG hatch?

 

sold and bought it back 3 times i have probally had 20+eg civics

first time i owned it i swaped in a ls swap and the original fenders were crushed bad so i replaced with m3 fiberglass ones because it was all i had.. pulled the ls swaped in a dx motor and sold it.. then the next owner swaped the fenders with the newer style metal z3 fenders and drove it for awhile then i got it back let my buddy drive it for 2 months then we got his cope running. then sold the hatch to another guy he had it for 2 weeks and locked up the tranny. so i traded him a da i had for it. thew on some meshes and a used tranny i had laying around, drove it home and started stripping it.

 

What motor are you going with? You've got a lot of work but looks like you're in a good spot. Do you own the shop? When are you expecting the clip?

Good luck

 

most of the pics are in my grage. some are at the shop where i work. i work for toyota!!!! make me love my hondas even more. and then thers a big shop my buddy rents we use to .

i have pics havent got them up loaded yet. have dash out and most of the heater box out..

i drove it to the local window shop to have the windows removed, you shold have seen the looks i got
no hood, bumper, head lights, fenders no interior but a seat and a steering wheel. gonna pick it up in the morning and drop the motor out at work. its just so much easyier to do with a lift.
