    Default EF Hatch Build

    This is my first EF civic.

    Plans: Lower, Paint, Motor swap (B series I guess?), Nicer Wheels.

    I got it from a local guy I know. It had EF squad stickers on it and a bunch of IA business cards in it. This will be my 8th car I've owned but the 1st automatic. My friend has everything I need for the 5 spd swap but I think I would rather just ditch the D series altogether.













    My little collection


    Progress should move quickly. Hopefully I don't get burnt out on this project like I did on my 240.

    Update October 25th 2011






    That was a bitch, but the wire tuck will be worth it... I hope.

    Hell it is easy.

    As much as he has stripped I'd just lower the column and put in the assembly from there.

    EF's are easy to work on.

    Black car is a 1991 Prelude. Love it love it love it.

    I would like to get interior for this car but I have yet to run across any. At least the front half. It needs seats and carpet mostly. If I do the B swap I will just leave the back gutted and put a strut bar in. I have been pretty busy lately and haven't had much time to work on the car. I still need to put the new radiator in and I need to remove the hood, bumper, and some other misc parts from the front so I can get new stuff. If anyone has a hood, bumper, and driver headlight please chime in.

    Depending on what EF interior parts you are looking for I might have it.

    If I dont have it I might know another guy with it.

    Looks like your in the big town of woodstock, if that is true so am I.

    Depending on how I feel.

    Blue EP3.

    Silver crx

    White civic wagon.

    I might have a complete set of 90/91 seats front and rear.

    they were going to go in my 90 hatch.

    This is what you'll see me rolling in, and proceed to hate.

    totally understand.

    I've been building a civic wagon, a rhd civic and an 89 si.

    I've put the rhd and the 89 on the back burner till I get the wagon done.

    That pretty much is done now, so that helps.
