My EJ2 Civic Build Thread *LOTS OF PICS*
 

So I'm picking this car up tomorrow, and I have a lot planned for it.

Its my 1st car I've ever owned thats manual. I recently learnt how to drive stick, and now that I am good at it, I love it and will never drive anything else but stick.

Anyways here are some pics from the kijiji AD.

I have some de-ricing to do.

Stay tuned. Subscribe

I'm glad de-ricing is your first priority...lol.

What sort of plans do you have for the car?

What I will do 1st, to last.

Get it saftied and e-tested so I can drive it back and fourth to my mechanic in Hamilton.
fix the rust and give it a paint job
switch the tails and heads to OEM
exhaust is very nice, but the muffler is a fart can so Im going to get a nice HKS 4inch outlet muffler

Thats all I'm saying for now :p

Brought it home last night. Washed it up a bit today. I work in an hour so I couldnt do much today.

So what it needs for safety is:
2 exhaust gaskets. One in the back and one where the cat converter is
Left lower ball joint.
Right front brakes


Also I need a valve cover gasket

Right front brakes? Make sure you do both front brakes, not just the right side. ;)

Sounds like it doesn't need too much for safety. Have fun fixing it up. It'll be a good learning experience. :)

So i completely tore out the interior(aside from the dash). I cleaned it all up, sprayed it with rust proof and put it all back.

Here are a few more pics. The ricer that owned this car switched the spedo to MPH. So now i have to change it back to KM

Thanks. subscribe, its going to get dirty soon

So I did some body work just so I can pass safety. Then I will get the whole body re-done professionally.

Started to grind the rust off. I found so much bondo and i guess this car had the QPs cut out.

Just for now until I bring it to the mechanic on friday when everything is fixed for safety

I took off the ricer tail lights just to see what it looked like. Not too bad just some surface rust. Ill grind it out tomorrow. But ill probably get a cf trunk anyways

Just a small addition. I went to the junk yard this morning and got a front bumper. Suprised that this was mint as hell. Not even one scratch.
