OH HELLO INTERNET.

I am much older and wiser than the last time we uhh spoke? Interacted? Whatever.

I am PUMPED to be starting another project finally. My old project, the H2B EF, is still alive and being daily driven in the summer. I want MOAR. What's better than ONE EF?

TWOOO!!!!

Introducing, Dank Purp the "super clean" 89 Si! Here is a video of a walk-around: https://imgur.com/sqrjAxM

I am not the one talking in the video. That is the dude I bought it from. He is a well known Honda-head from my parts.

My in-laws saw me hauling it home


Anyways I got it home and got the snow off of it... It needs a lot of work. Full paint, some body work etc.

Here is some siiiick discontinued headlights though. APC glass projectors. Ouuuu.



And there it sat on my driveway all winter... vid here: https://imgur.com/QqJ6H5d

SPECS of this BEAST:
Cost me about $2500 (**** ME)
has no motor installed, but came with a D15b2 and a D series cable trans (Yuck)
No engine harness, interior is a solid 6/10, and uhh basically I got ****ed a little bit, but I WANTED it.


Thinking WAY too far ahead, I bought some parts:





Well, that gave me the motivation to shove the car in my garage. THUS IT SAT FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS. In the meantime I upgraded the truck (Out with the Ram, in with the TACO), adopted a new dog (RIP Kody, hello Benji), and bunkered down with borderline alcoholism through the rest of COVID. Mental health 2/10, so let's buy an overpriced Civic, right??? Right.

I put it in the garage.

Here's the ****ty clear-coat action: https://imgur.com/ovEpc60

It acted as a shelf for a while....



I got it torn down in the past month or so...







Body filler, solid 4/10 for effort there bud.



This is stupid. Don't do this. This is how you melt sunroof drain tubes and the radio antenna!




Here's a bunch of rust pictures:





That last pic makes me feel like a frickin' boomer taking a selfie.

 

Here's some more recent pics of it torn down. I took out EVERYTHING but the suspension. Fuel lines, brake lines, you name it.
