So... I found a very very very empty Civic EJ2 shell. I mean no glass, no lights, no seats type of empty. On its way to the scrap yard I offered the guy V$250 for it, and he offered me V$20 to take it off his hands!
SCORE?!
The car has quiet the history from what this old man told me. His wife bought the car new in 94 to celebrate the birth of their child. Well the kid drove the car around from 2011-2013 until he slid the nose into a truck on the turnpike. Car had alot of sentimental value so he kept it around despite the front end damage. Ended up being a little worse than he thought. He bought a WHOLE FRONT CLIP and replaced it professionally, while he was at it he redid the pans, rockers, trunk, ect. Like I said its missing a lot, it was stolen out of a storage unit in Philly, recovered outside of Quakertown, PA, abandoned and virtually stripped. but is pretty solid, besides the typical rear fender area and thats not even anything to worry about.
Wasnt sure why he was giving it up if he was so attached but hey, his loss, amirite?
I sadly know a few Honda guys who said for the right money I can make it nice, and fly, so Im taking a crack at the JDM life.
Sourced a DC5 K20 Swap from Garage Nine that Im waiting for a reply on, hopefully thatll all work out well, and slowly piece by piece I can dig myself deeper into debt :D
