Got lucky and found a 1996 Honda Civic CX hatchback shell on Craigslist last week. Called about it Wednesday, went and picked it up Saturday with a couple buddys. The people I bought it from were going to use it as a race car but decided against it. So since it was going to be a race car, they completely stripped the interior and even removed all the sound deadening material. There's just a small amount left by the pedals.
Goodies on it include a complete Integra rear end with disc brakes, stock sway bar along with stainless braided brake lines and set of Energy Suspension trailing arm bushings. Also was surprised to find a lower tie bar underneith and figured it would be a crappy eBay one, but its made by Tanabe Sustec! Has a few other small dumb things like a AEM fuel filter and carbon fiber gauge pod thing, junk drilled rotors in the front. Front end was hit before so a 99-00 front end is kinda fitted on it. Its missing a few things like door panels, cluster, and front seats. Also needs headlights and taillights and a spoiler and other small things.
Took about 80 pictures today. Got what I wanted done today so I'm happy. Got all the interior pieces cleaned, inside of the car picked up and vacuumed out and washed the outside of it. Came out pretty nice. All the pictures I took of it cleaned up didn't come out with the nice camera but I got a few from my cell phone. I'll take another set after work tomorrow with the good camera.
Also, since about July I've been collecting parts for a turbo D16Y8 build I'm going to do over winter. I'll post pics and a list of what I have tomorrow.
So whats the goal for this you ask? Make this thing look like it rolled off the showroom floor with a few clean additions here and there and a turbo D16Y8. But well see what happens...
On to the pictures...
kinda cleaned up now
