After lowering, I noticed the back was too low, so,(thanks jpciii) I got some hatchback struts for the rear and that fixed the sag...Also got an Integra lip for the front.
Also got some pretty sweet Integra seats that only took a little bit of modification to make fit......along with an Integra steering wheel. As pictured before, just better pics.
Then, replaced the missing rear wiper with one from a Ford Aspire. Haha.
Painted the headliner and pillars black....not sure what to do with the rest, though.
Donor car was out and about at the wreckers today....the guy brought it out especially for me. Thanks!
Got: passenger side mirror, 1990 clear signals, better rear wiper motor, 'better' H center caps (going to try to fit them to the 15" steelies I now have), better shape rear bumper(internal, mine is falling off of the car, rust), new cowel......much more to come after I can go back on Sunday.
You probably didn't even need tools to remove that rear bumper, did ya? I don't miss rusty ass Civics from east of the Rockies!! Lord knows I've owned my share (used to live in Ottawa).
so one question to lower it did you just put crx/civic springs on the wagon struts?
also how hard were the sun roofs to install, and did they seal ok, i wanna put the long vw moon roof on mine, its about 3/4 of my roof
CRX springs on wagon fronts and hatchback rears. Roof windows and easy and I don't know how well they are sealed, yet. I will find out next time rains and I can take it on the highway. Watertight has nothing to do with standing still.
Accidentally bought this. By accidentally, I mean that I did not do ANY research that would have told me that a D16A1 would not work in my car. FUCK. At least it was basically free.
Hot/cold knob internals kicked out on me, so it's off to the wreckers again....as if I needed a reason. Wish me luck on finding a new engine....my luck was definitely no good on the D16A1 that I am now looking for an Integra for.....ass backwards, but it will work out. Haha.
'Nother pic, because I like to post pics and all y'all hate to comment! :P
