    Default 1994 civic hatch project

    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.






    After I raised it up and installed the missing driver side lip




    I am removing the body filler to fix the dents the right way now,going to cut and weld in new quarter Saturday and might go and spray the thing before the end of the month back factory white.

    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?

    After I gringed some rust away to see how bad it was.Painted with a rattle can to keep it in check until I found replacment panels.

    Struts and coilsovers used to correct the ride.
    Guy I got the car from had 2 sets of ground controls,I sold one set and kept the other.






    Removal of the front end and begin sanding.





    Panels for the rear to be welded in tomorrow and car will be in gray primer wating to get a nice white base clear painted by me.

    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.

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

    No before pictures of the engine bay but here are the new ones.




    Valve cover ordered and new timing belt,crank seal,cam seal water pump on the way through eBay but genuine Honda parts.

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

    car will be in black or gray primer this weekend just waiting to meet up with my buddy tomorrow to see what he has a quart of.

    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.
