so first cleaning up the bay, then swapping engines, doing a mild tuck, new rims, seats, lights, bumper, fogs, fender, and a few other misc things isnt a project? i usually dont start stuff or get mad about what ppl say but i thought i would share with everyone, im sorry i cant start with a shell and build a complete car. just thought i'd share what i thought was a fun little project

Lol yeah Ill post pix hamorhead.

So yesterday we got my ls out and the y8 in. Removed cruise control, power steering and a few other misc. things. I was going to put my TenzoR seats in but I got a sweet deal on a set of Celica seats that already had eg rails welded on, I was iffy about them until I put them in and they looked nice. Plus for the deal I got I couldnt pass them up.

This weekend hopefully my bumper and fender will be here. Waiting for the fogs to come in and I ordered a type r lip that should be in this week. Tomorrow we will be relocating my battery and maybe my fuse box. If I have time I'll be re-running my light harness behind my fenders to hide it also. Going to rewire my engine harness and shrink wrap it to give it a cleaner look. Painting my valve cover to match my bay. I sholud have my hx's on this weekend as well. Going to pick up my new shift **** tonight, just a knock off ITR ****. I think thats about all for now unless I find more free time to tiddle with it.

I am at work and cant upload pix from this comupter so I should have so uploaded tonight. It's been raining for 5 days here in Cincy so if it stops I'll run out and take a few pix with my phone.

I have never seen Celica seats in a Civic before. They look good. I have seen a complete front and rear set of Monte Carlo leaters in a 2000 Si though. They fit perfect with almost no modification actually. haha. Post a pic of your whole car!

Ok it stopped raining long enought to take a pic of the bay. like i said earlier I still have to relocate the battery, fuse box, and with removing the power steering resevoir. I also have to rewire the harness and hide my headlight harness behind the fenders, paint the valve cover and wash everything this weekend so right now it looks a mess. After looking at the pic I forgot I have the remove the washer resevoir. It looks pretty tacky having the power steering and washer resevoirs sitting there with the hoses in them, ran out of time last night so i'll take care of it tomorrow
