[pebojelly]

I got this car monday this week.
Car was slammed in the fron like no spring and rode like crap.
Engine bay was super dirty.
Has 3-4 dents in the top of the car and someone attempted to fix them,the paint is the worst.
There is some rust in the rear quarters.
Missing the driver side lip.

his pic before I got it,cant fully tell but that fron is bottomed out.

UMMMMMM... white eg's... I love white... hope to see it finished and G/L

[cactusEG]

Where did u buy this car ? I think i might know who use to own it...

[MSRTom]

EG's are my favorite Civic. If you're looking for a really bright, pure white, check out Ford's Oxford White.

What are you going to use the car for? Weekends, DD, show? What are your plans for the motor?

[Captain-Obvious™]

pretty good platform to start with. Just make sure you follow through with that plan

[Motivation]

Nice project. You just going to use it for a DD or ya got bigger plans for it?

Yes it was found on CL local.
I will be DD this with the D16z6 for a little while.
Next step is either D16 turbo no not eBay junk or B16 swap.

[pebojelly]

I have one thing I need help with.
Which lip? and painted or not? Are these headlights and fogs very accurate JDM copies?

Very dry motor no oil leaks and no grinds in the trans.
I am going to change the manual trans fluid next week.

[pebojelly]

I am going to let the resigns get out from the body filler and primer before I wet sand and base clear it white again.
