Diamond in the Rough lol (95 coupe build project)

[Deadswitch]

Hi, guys im new here. I recently purchased a 95 dx for $500 bucks. It is very rough. But with some hard work I will have it looking good. So heres how it stood when I bought it. No brakes, both front control arms were bad, crushed passenger door, crushed right fender, damaged left fender, bad headlights, no a/c, and just dirty as hell. It also had a d15b2 dropped in it (wtf ). Here are some pictures the day I brought her home.

I cleaned the car interior up a bit and installed a new fender. I have also added some second hand halo projector headlights and put a new door on it that I am currently bondoing up. Ill post the door picks later but here are the interior shots and fender. I have replaced the a/c, fixed the brakes which was a master cylinder, replaced both control arms, and added a short shifter.

the main thing is the rear 1/4's are still good. Good luck with the project. Personally i dont like painted interiors other than black. eg. Red, Yellow, Blue.

i havent started on building the d15b7 yet but the plans are: pistons, rods, head stud bolts, head work, cam, cam gear and boost...im doing the cosmetics first cuz i want the car completely ready for paint when i do the motor swap so that i can paint the car and paint the engine bay at the same time while i have the engine out.

You paid $500 for that? Good luck restoring that

What exactly is unrestorable? Granted i agree that 500 is too much, but, its a good enough base to work with.

$500 for a car that I replaced the brake master cylinder ($40) and both control arms ($120) and now i have a car that i have been driving 100 miles a day with no problems for the past 4 months. I think it was a pretty good deal in my opinion.

Update: I will post the second hand door i put on along with the headlights. I have also installed an SI gauge cluster. I also have an aftermarket steering hub to install and a jdm steering wheel to put on that. I also just got my spoon side mirrors in to also install. Hopefully this will be done this weekend.
