Sounds like a great deal for someone who already has all the hardware and fuel parts to intall.

Thanks for the effort though.

Quite a bit...you just can't put it on a manual car.

Started painting my '89 trim. The red is a primer. I'm going to learn how to use our air compresser gun then spray it black with the middle painted white. If all goes well I'll finish up the bodywork on my car then spray it. Its like 80 degrees out so I thought I might as well get started.

Looks awesome, bud. Just make sure all grease and/or oil is off the plastic and all shall be well.

LOL...

The family...

Mini-Me as-is...still has a small vacuum leak. Waiting for fuel rail.

Removed bumbers and filler pannels.

The holes for the embelem are crooked so I'm going to shave both the front and rear of ALL decals.

Whole passenger side has been cut out for a different one.

Their welds. I'm going to wire-wheel them then Por-15.

The other side is mint.

My 89 parts car had a horrid kit on it and they literally cut the moldings so it would fit. That shit made me sad. I still haven't been able to find a set for my 91.

A body kit? That sucks.

I still have to take the '89 door trim pieces off the doors without ruining them.

 

[Korax]

Haha,

Oh well...what good bits did you get out of the car? CRX bumper with fog lights, CRX Si wheels, descent body (minus the kit).

Nah the body was scary under that kit. More areas for water to sit in. It had a OBD0 B16a in it. That was the main reason I bought it.

 

[89' Project Civic]

I agree with the bodykit, I like it!. Good buy.

 

[JDM_EF-9]

at least he got a b16 out of it..

 

[Korax]

Anyway, did you get to fixing that rust?

 

[GlassHeadlights]

No...My dad is bringing home his grinder with wire wheel tomorrow...hopefully.

I put new NGK "Laser Platinum" spark plugs in my dads S2000. The old ones were way overdue. For 4 spark plugs it was $80.86 and that was the only option.

Anyway I took off the fenders, hood and corner lights. I'm probably going to get newish fenders, mine are pretty bad. My front bumper and fenders are rough...it would be a better investement to buy JDM ones. Anyone know if I can just put an EF9 front bumper on with everything else USDM?

 

[OGMatt]

Jdm front bumper won't fit perect but it will work. You would have to get the whole front end (lights, hood, fenders, and that hood latch thingy).

 

[92stoccord]

drive it like that.

^Lol...

Anyone have any painting tips? How different is useing a gun than rattle can?
