So the car came with a few surprises, I bought it knowing that the interior was completely shot and I thought the car had a leaky sun roof
Progress so far.

But after removing most of the interior and testing the sun roof over and over, it doesn't leak at all, so I'm sure someone got high and just left it open all winter, well that's what I assume after what I found.

That's the plan. I'm also debating just power washing the interior until all the grim is off. I'm mostly just irritated with the seat belts being moldy, but o well I'll just get different ones. I have the head off because I thought it had blown head gasket, but I'm not so sure now because the guides in the head are missing so I gotta find those. Either way the head is off to the machine shopNice fixer up mate, I have the same car I’m fixing up as you, take out he carpet and add Integra seats and boom you got a beautiful interior

Speaking of the head, should I remove all the sensors and the vtec solinoid before I send it to the machine shop? They said it's fine to leave them, but I'm also having it hot tanked so I think maybe I should
The windshield seals can leak too and allow water to pool up in the front driver and passenger floor boards.

I was wondering that too, but the mold seems concentrated in the center of the car and immediately on the middle of the rear seat, also water damage on the headliner was concentrated directly behind the sunroof and the edges around the windows was prestine

This car is just a daily for me right now, I'm staying D with it because I'm traveling for my internship and I have to drive 700+ miles a week. Eventually I'm going to just budget K24 swap it with a CRV or Accord K24 when I get bored with that I'll find a K20 head. Anyways yeah so for right now this is just gonna be a comfy daily with AC. I'll probably do the K24 swap next winter.

Yeah I've been hitting them pretty hard sadly we just have a very low inventory right now. There is a 4dr Integra 96 with full interior that I'm eyein hard, but they want 40 a seat and 70 for the rear bench, a little bummed the other yard doesn't have one because they sell seats for like $16 and 20 for a bench. There is a TL at that yard and they only wanted 25 for all the interior
TL would require modding brackets and power if applied, for 40 a seat if its clean go for a bolt in option and screw the back seat, if you never had passengers back there it wont matter till you come across a deal on those.. fyi im no ricer and every car of mine has full interior, subs n amps no matter the hp or use.

Do you think 40 a seat is a good deal?
If their clean and you "need" them its not a bad deal.. is a $900 Carbeau or $1200+ Bride a deal, hell no.. function over form, id rather my car drive good then look good.. to each their own, i spend money where it makes sense first.. power, brakes, handling, looks in that order.. 1k seats mean s**t if your pullin 15sec slips but get to 10sec slips better have a harness and some good seats..

I guess what I mean is $40 a typical price for cloth Integra seats. Yeah my goals for this car is a Running D series that saves a s**t ton in gas, doesn't have mold and some decent springs and shocks so I can lower it a little and have a decent ride. Those Integra seats looks comfy AF
