- Sun Mar 07, 2010 5:58 am #179633 So i figured it was time to stop asking for help with the numerous problems and start fixing sh*t haha.
So heres the car. Its a 1992 SI picked it up for 500$

it was sitting for 2 years before i bought and it shows.
there was some good though. it was a newer JDM D15b in it.
some aftermarket suspension and some other goodies.

but there is more bad than good.
some really bad QP rust on one side, cracked windshield and the floor starting to tor away....



This side looks nice!




















Real nice dent across the whole door and then some.















Sooo basically i paid for a a new engine but i think it was worth it.
as soon as it gets warm here the body work will start.

Hope you enjoy my build.
Suggestions and Comments Welcomed!

- Mon Mar 08, 2010 7:55 am #179826 The evil rust destroys our civics, mine actually has not so much but I had to pay some money to cut out some rust of the fenders and repair the doors, also have a new used tailgate and after the last car-wash I found some rust around the keylock the only part where my old tailgate had no rust...

- Sun Mar 14, 2010 4:13 pm #181219 Yay Progress....well not really.

My 1995 CX Hatch Build

- Tue Mar 16, 2010 4:34 am #181535 Oh, my favourite: a Milano red Si hatch. I'm really glad to see you're bringing it back to life. You know, if you want to start with a better shell, I thought I saw one advertised on jdmrides.ca. It's in your neck of the woods, too. Hamilton I think. I'll find the link. Might be cheaper than fixing all that rust, too, if it's in good condition. Looks like you've got the space to store it, too, if you went that route.

- Tue Mar 16, 2010 4:45 am #181540 Yeah, here it is: http://www.jdmrides.ca/forum/for-sale-c ... 50779.html

Price is $250 so worth a call, eh. It's red. Located in St. Catharines.

i know.. you better catch up, haha

the only thing i can do to mine right now is finish my custom bodykit and get my rims painted and tires put on

- Tue Mar 16, 2010 12:46 pm #181576 yeah but i like a good challenge. and besides, this is the first year of the SI.
