Thats crazy that you all don't get Civics on the yards there. Civics are everywhere here, so of course the junk yards are full of them. The pull-a-part always has at least 3 EKs, like 5 EGs, and even more EFs.

Mine always have gutted Civics. Like, the good yard is near the air base and someone has connections. When the cars are finally out on the lot, they're already picked apart and the good stuff is gone. Some of the airmen make some profit on the side.

My junkyard doesn't have many civics either, maybe 5? And most are gutted too. Bunch of z6's are always there though, but the people there are dicks on prices.

ENGINE BAY SHAVE. At least do a full harness tuck if you don't have a welder. It'll just cost you wire and solder and shrink tubing, and looks baller. I can't wait to shave mine.

I am not pulling the engine out, I wish I could have shaved it while I was doing swap but my pa was in too much of a hurry to get engine in

^Don't fret about not being able to tuck (yet). I took me 6 months to complete my project once I jumped into it. It was only possible because I had the support of my family that I was able to get it done.

spraypaint black headlight housing? has a good satisfaction to effort ratio.
