^ yes. Or in other words, too much on too many parts.
Hey Crash!!! Hvent been in here in a while glad to see people are still active >< dont know why i expected it to be dead? Ive actually spent more cash buying cars than what i put into them. I alway save on parts no matter what. I wait for the deal and snatch it 
so far on my Mr2 i got the front bumper, head lights, steering wheel, ignition stuff, strut bars, seats, and others for less than 700 and thats including car price
Tapatapa
No i am not using cheap parts!!! Just want to put it out there >.<

it's more like... if i sold it i'd take a huge loss.
and if i don't sell it but don't fix it, i just don't have a car because i can't afford another one that would be any better. i bought this for 1200. so my budget isn't very big.
Same boat. Not even running. This would be the second time
Im just over 9k with price of vehicle. Probably another 2-3k before it is finished.
Over 11k if you include the b20b/gsr swap the first time I owned it.....

This is a build price range when done correctly.

Pump
Clutch
Tune
Gauges

I would have started installing them unless i didnt have a second dd or it is the primary dd. But the last of what you need is the usual finishing products. Doesnt seem so badYeah all I have to show for it is a pile of parts in my garage

replaced the muffler. fart can < magnaflow (found out the exhaust isn't the right exhaust. maybe for a coupe? idk but it doesn't fit the brackets that well. kinda pulls them towards the rear of the car.)
pioneer 3 way door speakers
pioneer head unit
bosch winter wiper blades
MB five-x 15" rims + road hugger all season tires 195/55
used transmission (not installed. current one has a bad input bearing. thought i was getting a p20B. it isn't)
new alt belt
new alt
new pads/rotors
rebuilt passenger front caliper
new driver front caliper
brake fluid flush
NGK plugs
stuff that hasn't cost me money but have done:
installed my amp and subs
removed window tint on front windows (michigan law)
Stuff that still needs fixed:
CEL code 09 (crank sensor, just needs a new distributor i think)
replace the transmission. (not replacing flywheel or clutch)
crank pully (altnernator) fell off because the key backed out so need a new key and install old pulley belt which i was was lucky enough to catch
a HUGE amount of body work. rusty, dented, crappy paint.
probably some other stuff but that's what i can think of.
Right now it's my only car since I sold my SRTs. Soooooo tempted to buy something impractical for a daily and start ripping the DA apart so I can have a bigger pile of Honda junk to look at.I would have started installing them unless i didnt have a second dd or it is the primary dd.

I dont even know if i should post in here...
Do you have any pictures? Besides the mechanical it doesnt sound luke to much of a hassle. How bad the body is can be best described through picture.
Tapatapa
Do it
Tapatapa
What is holding this temptation back? I suggest something still fun

all the pictures i've taken are trying to make it look it's best lol...Do you have any pictures? Besides the mechanical it doesnt sound luke to much of a hassle. How bad the body is can be best described through picture.
it needs:
new front bumper
both new doors
new hatch
new hood
new driver side front fender
patched rear 1/4s (rust)
a dent in the passenger side behind the door that's pretty big needs to be un dented.
new windsheild molding on the drivers side
paint
only visual mods i want to do are a front lip. foglights and a (bigger than stock) duckbill
that's if i wanted it in "pretty" condition
which i do.
eventually
About 9-10k in at this point (mostly stock em1). Bought the car, rebuilt engine (stock spec), rear-ended somebody after 70mi on engine so I got a whole new front end, then rebuilt engine again after 10,000mi bc machine shop screwed it up. Fun stuff.
The total includes price of car when I bought it.
