I was gonna say that teg had to be pumped!! But wow an fd for a stock civic huh? Thats sick for u. Id have done the same thing if I was u regaurdless the shape of the fd. Rwd > fwd

 

I just pulled the motor out the one i traded my civic for since the motor is in healthier shape then the one in my original FD. So doing a swap and taking other goodies off the FD i just got like vmount setup if i find it better than my apexi fmic setup. Also it had the large size dual setrab oil cooler kit so im snatching that off it too lol. So overall on parts wise i got more than my civic's value

 

I'm enjoying this build. Can't wait to see how that engine bay turns out with all of the welding it up. Good luck!!

 

sounds like a nice project

and me either should be done in a few weeks with primer on it

 

Found your thread. Looks interesting, Maybe I've been out of the loop for a while, Whats with all the body work in the engine bay? Seems to me like your just adding unnecessary weight albeit not much weight. Whats the thought with that? Purely esthetic?
Anyway looks interesting, I'll check back. I don't know if you have built an engine yet or not but if you have not watched the box wrench video yet it's pretty helpful to have. http://store.boxwrench.net/Mazda-RX-...deo_p_147.html

Nice job on the press though for sure! I need one. I am just as bad with my cj as I used to be with my 3rd gen.

Yea its just for looks I mean the car is already going to bring light from all the stuff that I have removed. And Thanx for the video man

 

Thoroughly enjoyed looking through all 5 pages of this so far! Great build thread, and am looking forward to following it through.

I live in Odenton, however, my rents live in Queenstown, Where in annapolis are you? I don't have an FD but I may be coming into grips with one soon (crosses fingers). Keep up the great work man, very inspirational!

 

I live in Chesterton which is past queens town. And my rents live in centreville. And I appreciate that hope u get it man wat an amazing car.

 

so i havent really had much time to work on the car latley so i got some work done today. the bay is coming alone really nice.

my buddy doing some sanding



while he was doing that i started gringing all the old paint off the rear quarter panel i thought something was sketchy bout this and the car had been hit right there so now i have more body work to do. also filled the antenna hole.







a shot of our shop we have an evo inside my car is outside 2 tegs and a 240 lol lots of projects going on



and this is how i left it for today







everything still needs to be wet sanded and reprimed but this will do for now. thanx for looking guys

 

Coming along real nice!

 

Wow, coming together really nicely.. Can't wait to see pics of the final product!

 

Funny theme on this thread...I just traded my 1997 B20V civic hatch for a 93 FD.

 

looks beautiful. makes me wanna attempt repainting my engine bay for the 5th time LOL

 

Shes looking good man.

 

Thanx guys I prob worked on that one shock tower for 2 days lol till I got it the way I wanted. Things are going to be going slow here now I'm in the middle of buying a house. I did however weld up the hole for the omp since ill be running premix and no chance for It to leak now

 

small update of how the filled in omp hole turned out. sould have more pics of the engine bay this weekend

 

so i had to take a break from the bay and i started to work on that messed up quarter panel.

so this is how the day started



then the filler



there was a lot of sanding and filling sanding and filling lol then you get this



some random pic of the car with the shop evo



then the end result this took bout 6 hours



thats all for now

 

Your engine bay is looking good!

 

great job on the 1/4 panel!

 

Needs a lip and a drop!

Sorry, i had to! Haha

 

O i feel u on that lol. I hate seeing it that high lol trying to get all the body work done and out of the way tho. Going to drop the motor off to get ported tomorrow tho.

 

if you plan on rolling your fenders you might want to think about doing it before you get bodywork done on the rear quarter panels. It would be a shame to ruin all that hard work you've done if you decide to roll the inside lip and mess up on accident ya know?

 

Yea I thought bout that after I did the body work lol . Its cool it I mess anything up ill just fix it lol.

 

What are you replacing the OMP with ? and how did you fill it ?

 

^ deleting the OMP is something a few of us do. It's simply blocked off, then we just run premix in our tanks to compensate for the omp.
