Saving a coupe

Post by ( .)(. )Civic »

Ok i had a 97 dx auto coupe looked awful had a skull and flame paint job, that looked like flowers. I used to swap out the interior becouse the one in the 2000ex had a dvd right on top of the dash and it screwed it up. And wow had fun with the dash and ended up with vin problems and all kinds of fun shit so i dont ever want to mess with that again. but i bought my ex coupe that i have now for 750 has a clean title and it had a spun bearing like all y8's but anyways i got y8 out of a 97 ex so i could drive it for now. Then i had the idea to turbo it and i was going to do it all the right way and port the pump do it all because i got a set of wiseco turbo piston, and H beam rods for 250 was a great start but i decited to do a b swap and go from there. Later will put on a vtec head and all that and i know i will boost it but just a mater of time but im sure your tired of reading so heres some pics.

This thing was bad had water inside before and the carpit was covred in dust but its clean now =)

It had a fyberglass bodykit on it and it was replaced with stock bumpers still dont know what to do about the trunk has 4 half inch holes in it from the wing.

Heres the front have a new gril and bumper here but its been wrecked a little head on and the hood dont shut right but all the door gaps and fenders are straight its just the front suports and stuff but the bumper sags. Im going to build a bracket at work to hold up the bumper in the center i see mount holes but i dont have a bracket.
