No problem guys your welcome..... And as far as what I'm doing first... I'm going to get it painted I get home on Tuesday so that will be the beginning of the pictures hopefully it will be in the body shop by Friday going to register it as soon as I get home then I will put all my parts on and order my suspension still debating on the whole exhaust situation one of the soldiers in my unit bought my exhaust so I have the option of using the oem muffler my cousin gave me off of his 99 hatch or ordering the bc spec 2........ We'll see what happens... Lol

Ok guys well I'm home I went to pick up the car it's registered and insured so I know you guys are wondering how I feel about the car........... Honestly I am completely pleased with the deal I made with this kid ...........$3500 96 ek hatch cx with rebuilt 96 ls swap .... ( if you don't know mod list see page one) only thing I don't like that wasn't part of the deal to my surprise I guess was the si cluster but I don't care because also to my surprise the kid gave me a me kenwood radio and he already had relocated the radio to the cup holder and installed but idk if he wired the edm amber clock
Extras that I found in the car that I might sell he gave me 3 sets of b series header I only know for sure that one is a chimaera the other two I have no clue wtf they are I will take pictures when I can it was t raining when I got here but after I got out of DMV it started pouring so also I got an asr rear subframe connected integra rear sway bar a good coat of surface rust on that though both front right and left integra spindles pretty rusted I just kept part of the knuckle and calipers also I have the integra shift Lynkage I think unless its the oem civic one........ a fake chrome short shifter
So here's what I have so far for today I was going to pull all the parts out and take pictures of everything but the rain is too crazy here's what I got so far

thanks guys im actually dropping the car off Friday at maaco.....I stopped by maaco today and spoke to the guy that painted my wifes car to get a quote and he was happy that I came back to do business with them again...........im getting the whole quarter panel replaced and the bumpers and wing painted and mounted for $1000 which I think is a good deal......
and no I haven't ordered the suspension yet I will get it from a nearby performance shop sometime next month I have spent a lot of money this past month so Im actually going to slow down a bit don't want to break the bank early into being home......lmao
I am getting the suspension and the rear control arms at the same time and I actually have to take the rear subframe off and sand it and re polish or paint it cause the previous owner painted it black......
im going to post more pictures I took below in a different tab cause they are on my phone and it takes longer to upload and post then to just use tapatalk so here you guys go......
oh and I love driving it I know its just an ls swap but that s**t moves for what it is.......that's until I hit fifth gear.......lol

thanks guys just took the muffler off running open axel back until I get it back from the paint shop then im putting the stock muffler on until I buy the bc spec 2....just didn't want to get overspray on the muffler before I put it on the car
well we might have to wait a little more then I thought cause the rain just wont let up and I wanted to repaint the moldings myself before sending it to get painted if it lets up tomorrow then I should be able to get it in the shop but if not I will just drop it off another day
