    Default My EG Hatch Build Thread

    I recently purchased a EG Hatch from smrlsvtec (Jay). I have been wanting a EG for quite a while and with the current gas prices, I figured why not go ahead and get this one to build.

    To start, this car will take some time, so bare with me. Things are really gonna get going when school starts and I get more money.

    Here she is:









    She isn't much to look at now, but I hope to change all that soon.

    Not much of an update but, I was trying to figure out what color to paint the engine bay. After seeing a few other cars with the Battleship Grey engine bay, I was thinking the same thing.

    But, I am tore between the the car's color, blue, the Battleship Grey, or perhaps Black. IDK which, so I am looking to get some ideas from you all.

    That is my uncle's Integra. Got my aunt and uncle to switch from Ford to Honda.

    Thanks for the opinions guys, I am gonna stick with Blue. Had someone do a few photoshops pics for me and the Blue came out the best.

    Gonna clean it up tomorrow and snap a few pics.

    UPDATE:

    Here and just a few pics of the hatch. Got a before and after of the engine bay of some cleaning.

    Before:



    After:



    Big Picture Before:



    Big Picture After:



    I know, the pictures are at different angles and varying levels of light. Just have to take my word for it that engine bay is much cleaner.

    I plan to remove everything in the bay so I can repaint it for a better overall appearance.

    Thanks for looking.

    Here is a little something for everyone for later tonight.

    UPDATE:

    Worked on the car before relaxing for the 4th Of July.

    Here are the pics:

    First had to get everything together that I would need to clean out the interior.







    Had to listen to Project 96.1 while and sweating my azz off.



    The Mess...err...I mean the Interior (Before)









    Now, for the Interior (After)







    And the mess I sucked outta the car...UGH!!!



    All in all, it was a good day. I got a lot of work completed.

    Unfortunately, this is as far as I will be able to go until July 27th when I come back from Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. By that time, I will have enough money to get all the interior parts, minus the carpet.

    Until next time.

    It is gonna be my daily driver.

    It is definitely a project. The part of stripping the car down was taken care of already. I just get to do the fun part and put it all back together.

    Sorry for the long delay in posting. I have been gone for the last 21 days for military training.

    I will get some updates on everything that has happened ASAP.
