#184519 well my friend got a car it broke down because she never put coolant in it so it over heated and she asked me to build her a car so i told her i would build her a civic so i found a 95 civic hatch shell for $400 worst decision to pay that much i should have only paid 250, this was in horrible shape. Also the car had to be a budget build. But on the upside i got a full d15b7 engine swap ecu,harness, you name it i got it i paid 20 bucks for it! :thumb: so here's the car when i bought it

i guess someone thought this would be funny to weld onto the front bumper support? idk took me a few hours to grind off haha
Image


heres the engine bay
Image

interior being stripped out
Image

Image

i removed all airbag wiring and unnecessary things
i got as many black pieces i could get and i also used duplicolor vinal and fabric paint for the dash and some pieces.
here is the interior put back in.
I really want to get the oem cluster and paint the needles orange i dont like the white much.
im also getting ls coupe or gsr black cloth seats these dont matc and are pretty much ugly all around IMO

Image

my garage when i was taking apart the d15b7
Image

assembling the b7 with new gaskets,piston rings, and everything after hot tanking. heres the rebuild kit
Image

heres the d16z6 head w/ y8 intake manifold and obx short ram intake
Image

MORE TO COME! please remember this is a budget build for my friend.

#184523 its for a Girl but i think it would be sweet if it stayed painted flat black but i think she wants to paint it some crazy color she hasn't decided yet.

#184527 She must be a lucky girl to do all this. The flat black is getting overrated it just said my car is cheap and the engine is going to blow soon. Plus the flat black chips off after some UV rays hit it from the sun. Do a forest green or a nice yellow perhaps.
