Another Project Car
 

Well, I had made a post a while ago about an EG that I picked up. I had traded some misc stuff that I had laying around and got this.

It was Z6 swapped and needed to be wired for vtec and 4 wire O2. I did some general maintenance on it, bought some partial quarter replacements (but did not install them), put in a new clutch and new intake manifold gasket and sold it for $2500 :P

I then bought this at a local salvage yard:

I believe the previous owner hit a deer as there was deer hair stuck in the bumper and there was blood and fat all over the underside of the car

I put on a new OEM core support, got some used stock headlights and put a new OEM bumper cover on it and ended up with this:

I paid $1600 for the car from the salvage yard and it took about $520 in parts to put it back together body wise and have a new windhshield installed. I had to replace an O2 sensor and it will need a new radiator because the old one is crooked and has the mounting tab broke off, but it does not leak. It won't get new airbags, I made a replacement cover for the passenger side one, might go with the tray later and I will replace the steering wheel with a Momo wheel. I guess the beauty of the whole thing is that I had next to nothing into it because I used the money from the sale of the EG to fund it and I had next to nothing into that. I would say that I have about $1k out of pocket into it. I get it inspected next Friday, then I can register it...wohooo.

Yea, I really like EG's but this thing was too clean to pass us. I wish it was white or sllver. It's funny, I brought this home and I had a 4th gen hatch, a 5th gen hatch and a 6th gen hatch at the same time and they were all red :-\ Should be fun though.
