quick update, wasn't as nice out as I was hoping today. I've got the pass. side skimmed, knocked down, and partially blocked.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi12.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa238%2Fdarkelvis83%2FIMG_0652.jpg&hash=9e3b6b21b258ec6d9831a7736b69891b7bc3a911)

I finally broke down and took off the door so I could block it without sitting on a milk crate and hunching over. I'll pull the other door off to work on it when this one is ready.

And that is where I lost steam....I'll get back to work on it again in a month or so. :)
-
Holy shit that was a riced out bucket.
In to see what you turn it into.
-
You do some really awesome work man, how much did that cage cost you in materials?
-
bought it from some website and had to modify it slightly to fit, I can't remember the site off hand though...ask stevemode...he has the same cage. I think it was around $300ish though for it.
-
wow. That was a hell of a car to start with. Props on going as far as you already have, can't wait to see it finished.
That motor looks awesome, definitely get it done and running!
-
That's a ton of work, I could see how someone could get burnt out doing that.
-
Car runs and drives (well used to, wont run worth a shit anymore for some reason as of last summer and I haven't really dug into it too far). God only knows when this project will be finished. I've been working on it off-and-on for like 3-4 years. :-X

Yeah i remember this from way back, it is on a stealth shuttle/ highroller HT build type schedule.
-
I know exactly how you feel about it taking so long...I've had just my motor build/swap in the works for just under a year now...and the only body work I've done is just to spraypaint the outside of my pos haha
-
now i remember....it's a S&W cage.
-
I was actually talking about this car with a few friends of mine and was wondering how it was going. Should be fucking awesome when you get it all done and back together ;)

Thank you for cleansing the earth of a riced out POS. Should be solid when done. You head/helmet gonna clear the main hoop and down bars of the roll bar? Looks awfuly close.
-
I clear the cage, although I am thinking about making new seat brackets to lower the seat a little.
-
Hell of a turnaround dude. I lost my eyesight for a second when I looked that interior pic.

Wow some people do the most retarded things to Civics. How did this even start? Weren't all the Civics in F&F mostly black & shit?
I do have to say, they at least had decent ricetezzas (well, half of them). I wish they still made all-clears that I could paint red like that.
-
nice score, looks likes it WAS coming together quickly ;)
i would have painted that bitch inside n out before doing all the assembling of the interior/ engine
ur gonna have a rash worse than Hotsex sitting in that dusty seat.. :yes:
