I got myself a civic

[JeffBel]

awesome cause i currently have a red 1994 coupe and the paint on the hood is fading badly, same with the roof top. I want to get a glossy black paint job thats going to last awhile so i was just looking for some pointers cause i wanna learn how to do it myself for the future and looks fun. Well thanks for the estimates and where do you recommend buying the paint also if you dont mind?

Personally what I would do on a small budget: buy your own paint, get the maaco mid grade paint job and make them use your paint.

To get the paint, I use Sherwin Williams. They have a locater on their site

The swap is in and damn....
Here's the progress:

Yeah so the jack stands were all taken up so we used my test pipe that didn't fit.

 

[JeffBel]

Oh and the headers are slip-joint and I guess pricey. We put on a new cat, skunk2 exhaust piping from cat to muffler, and a magnaflow muffler. Its ridiculously quiet. We we swapped over the transmission there was a pressure plate bolt in the bottom of the bell. Tons of new bushings, new ball joints, axles, switched the LCAs to k-sports, and rewired the rad fan.

Yeah you spy a monster can, we started at 11 we were finished at 1. Had seized mounts and ball joints so that added in.

Dericed the back.

Shop is locked can't work on my car. I'm dieing; went and ordered my parts from autozone. Blew the passenger wheel hub, blew the brand new axles, and shredded the rotors. Still need to check the pads. I'm thinking it would be a good time to switch to big brake

And 5 lug...

[JeffBel]

I would but rims are not in the budget.

 

[JeffBel]

This sucks.

But this is good

 

[JeffBel]

Seized bolts one after another

 

[JeffBel]

Axles are toast. Passenger rotor is cut hardcore and I have been trying to separate the ball joints from the control arms for the past hour

 

[JeffBel]

Made a bracket so my msd coil will stop faulting out

Cheers to you for still looking up through the problems. Good progress.

Btw, how well do those electric impact wrenches work compared to air ones? I've been meaning to get one that looks really good but don't know how well they work.
