I put together a list of what I needed:

Front Lip
Brakes/Rotors
Front Headlights
GSR or SIR Seats
Spark Plugs
Air Filter
Climate Control Unit
Stereo
Rims

 

Picked up these rims


Took the Front End off, sourced out some JDM Black Housing Headlights, and ordered some OEM Bumper Clips

 

The rims didnt last long, I found some EM2 SI rims, and decided I would go with these. Replaced front end, lined it up as best I could, new front Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors, Low Dust Ceramic Pads, OEM Spark Plugs and Filter, SIR Front Seats, Climate Control Unit, Mugen REP Front Lip (Not installed). I also had some blue anodized lugs lying around and decided to use them.

 

This is the finished product. Enjoy.

 

That thing looks great! Good find on that civic, in your typical fasion I'd imagine you got that thing for a steal

How's she run? I'm a big fan of the wheel setup and lug combo.

 

I cannot recall the steal of a deal at the moment lol...yeah i saw the em2s and i thought they would look great, and the lugs matched up with the electron blue perfectly. thanks man!

 

I always loved those EM2 rims. They look very clean for someone going for a stock look on a Honda.

The paint on the civic shines real nice too!

 

That civic looks clean! good work.

 

Its sold now..wamp wamp...

I am finally able to bring my Integra into the garage so will be taking off all body panels and storing them and going to begin on my engine bay this Sunday!

 

Haha that was short-lived.

This weekend's supposed to be nice and warm again so should make for a great work day!

 

Shhh dont remind me haha... Im tired of working on it!

That civic looked soo nice. I liked those black rims a lot, they would look boss on my Integra. Cant figure out what I want spring time yet. Cant wait to see updates on your Integra though!

 

Thanks man, I am actually selling those rims. PM ME if you are interested.

 

Just out of curiosity... you got PM lol

 

holy...yo dude youve been busy!...

 

wow nice progress with the civic... too bad you sold it already haha i wouldve bought it

still in need of a car since i lost the teg : (

 

yeah i took on alot, but put my build on the backburner...now im totally focused...here are the updates..

 

So, now with my uncles '68 benz gone, i can finally bring my shell in the garage to start some bodywork and plan out my engine bay...

So just a refresher; this is MY SHELL. lol..

 

On friday we took off the front end, and I stored those panels. I also thought it would be a good idea to take off the doors, so in the garage it is easy to work around the car.

 

Finally rolled into the garage!!!




Today I didnt waste anytime, I cleaned out the bay, and my buddy took out the front dash.

 

We took out heater core and blower, lost some weight in the dash, and also pulled most of the wiring harness out of engine bay..this Tuesday I will be degreasing the bay, and hopefully sanding it down Wednesday and Sunday..With working 6 days a week, Sundays is the only day really I have to work on the Teg...If anyone wants to help out, have some fun, and learn as we go they are most welcome to come by!

 

clean shell... no doubt about it

 

Yup, it's looking good. Interesting choice on the civic hb steering wheel!

 

Lol, thats the way it came, I am using a jdm type r wheel..

 

Awesome progress..if I wasn't working 6 days a week I would come by sunday but i need a days rest from anything and everything physical lol

 

^^^yeah i know how it is..today when i get off work, i am going to degrease the bay and get it all cleaned up and ready for sunday.hopefully will be all sanded down by then..parts shopping on dec 9th!

 

So decided to take apart the motor, its getting rebuilt, degreased, block is going to be honed and new piston rings, ACL Rod Bearings, head will be rebuilt with a Supertech Valvetrain, and still deciding on what cam gears to go with!




After some hard work..

 

I will be swappign out the GSR Crank for an LS crank, trying to locate one, and some LS Rods..

 

After that, we decided to stop on the motor and degrease and scrape the bay so this weekend we can sand it down, and hopefully start filling the holes..
