where did you end up picking that orange civic up at?!

he has been on the hunt for it ever since he sold it.

i went out to cali to trade my built hatch for it plus cash and then put some money into it. then sold it on ebay and its in NJ now..
updates without pics again on the truck...
i am going to have to redo a bit of the firewall to make the rotary fit right and look right, so i have to recess it into the firewall and inch or so..
i pulled all of my front suspension and brakes and cleaned/degreased ad painted all the parts..
hopefully get some big updates with pics this weekend...

Your old white EG makes me want a white EG. haha.
ive had two white eg's, but that car in the picture was pretty fun for a cheap build..
i dont think i had more than a grand in the whole car including the purchase(well minues the wheels).
it ran like a raped ape..
Haha nice. I wish I could say I have less than a grand in my car.... >_<
ya, me too... i wish i was rich..
ya that car was sold years ago also..
it was built pretty good for the time i guess..
yessir. trying to represent and build a super clean truck...

ok, so excuses excuses, but the wifey took the camera with her to work today so no pics, but the updates arent that great i guess..
i did get shield gas for the welder and ground my frame down smooth ready for paint and cut out a bit of the firewall to get the engine where i want it. but no pics today. sorry!
we'll see about tomorrow.. got a buddy coming up since its physically impossible for me to get this engine mounted by myself..

updates with pictures for u guys that wanted them..
painted my brakes and a arms. just cleaning s**t up. also painted my calipers..
also cleaned up my dash..
body panels waiting to go on both trucks..
tore the engine down to a bare keg to clean things up plus i was having fitment issues. thought it was the firewall, but it turned out to be the mounts.
anyway, started polishing my IM...
so like i said had some fitment issues so i cut out the firewall since thats what i thought the problem was, but turns out it is the mounts. so i brought the engine forward an inch or so but now i am having issues with the engine being true to the frame and being womperjod in the engine compartment, so i have to work on that now. also, then engine sits too low, so i might be rebuilding a tranny tunnel after all..
this is how i ended up mounting it for now til i can weld up new brackets. the mounts were designed to fit between the old crossmember mounts, but dont, so i will have to make new mounting points for the moints and possibly new mounts..
this is how i cut the firewall for fitment. it will end up probably going back to how it was before unless i decide to put a design in it or something...
not happy about this at all...
i have a bunch more pics and random shots that ill post later if anyone is interested..
hopefully get back out in the garage tomorrow and figure some mounting s**t out and finish polishing my IM and things...
also, my rack and pinion is not going to work, so i am still looking for a rhd steering box. might look into getting a flaming river box or something of that nature. either way, its gonna be expensive as hell..

that sucks that the engine aint fittin good but at least some progress is gettin done 
itll all work. i just have to decide a few things and take some good measurements. also talking to the the guy that made the mounts to see if he can fix the problem or what exaclty needs to be done..
how much u want for that bumper shipped to 81504?
