Most of you know me from my previous build thread of my 1992 Frost White Turbo eg hatch:

Welcome to my SECOND 1992 honda civic hatchback dx build thread!
I've had this Tahitian Green Pearl shell sitting in my garage for the last 3 years or so. My intentions were to rebuild the entire body and swap my motor from my other hatch into it. When my motor blew in my other hatch I just rebuilt the entire car since I knew it would be down for awhile... so now I'm left with this shell STILL sitting in my garage.
At last I decided that I should just throw it together and use it as a daily driver. Aiming to spend less than $1200 in parts on this build since I'm cheap and may encounter some troubles with employment in the near future.
Current Budget of Items Purchased:
D16Z6 motor+trans $425
P28 ECU $100
Steelies $24
Rear hatch $30
Mirrors $20
Front Bumper $20
Camber kit $89.85
Denji headlights + HID kit $170
-----------------------------------------------------
Total: $878.85
Plans:
D16Z6 swap
lower on ebay s***-coils (already on car)
rock steelies hardcore
front lip
cd player
fog lights
possibly some mud guards
drive it!
To recap from what I've posted in my other thread:
Picked up a rear hatch from some kid the other weekend for $30. It's not in bad shape, but has some paint run spots and chips here/there. I'm probably just going to keep it the way it is.. since this isn't a show car!
I sold a door to a fellow member on here and then used that money to go and purchase some mirrors and a front bumper for $40. Too bad someone had rattle canned the entire bumper, ugh I f**king hate sanding!
The car was on the ground before a few weeks ago, but I put the front back up on stands because I've been working on getting the brakes done.
UPS should be arriving at my house any day now with a package or two.. I'll keep you fools updated![Very Happy :D :D](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
