Default Modernizing an EF

Here is the plans for my project, which I think is going to be a lot of work.
My base car, which I do not have pictures for YET, is a 1990 CX (Canadian model)
*denotes distant future project

To Do list
- Power windows
- Power mirrors
- Sunroof*
- Heated Seats
- 1997 Integra front and rear seats
- Completely redoing the interior
- New vinyl
- Black everything...
- Rear power windows...
- B16A Swap (with tranny, unsure of which one to use)
- Rear disk brakes
- Lighted ashtrays
- Map light
- Factory cruise control button placement (On the steering wheel)
- Blue lit gauges + climate control
- Fog lights
- Power Steering
- Rear wiper
- Fixing the rust holes, new tint
- Larger front brakes, from an SI or DA?
- Auto-dimming mirror with compass and temperature

Done thus far
- 1988 CRX gauges
- Integra centre console
- AC
- Cargo cover (Hand made, waiting for a replacement)
- DX Door cards, with the pockets
- Cruise

I will get pictures up once I get a camera... Again.

I found some motors that look like they may work, but will stick out too far.
finding an odyssey is hard around these parts.

if you really really want the motors, just buy OEM honda from online.

i forgot to add disks to the list, and the power windows are going to be from a sedan. i may get JDM switches some day, but they are too much money for what they are worth.

edit: i didnt forget.

There are actually a few out there that are for LHD cars but good luck finding them. Usually people just flip them upside down and wire accordingly. works out fine.
