[pittyinSC]

Looks much better, and will be fairly easy to make clean

[SilviaSprung]

the interior is shot..dirty as all hell..the door panels had some wanna be custom bones and skull designs wrapped in fabric.. i went to the junk yard and got both door panels replaced..they are all black with no cloth. i got most of the interior trim that was painted white in my replaced with factory pieces in the factory color..and a throttle body with the idle sensor all for 5 bucks! love havin connections at the junk yard! lol

[se-real]

[SilviaSprung]

So i started painting it today.. cheap primer actually. Well okay.. I went to walmart..got Gloss Black paint. (rustoliem) and some paint thinner..cost just under $14 dollars. Usein my friends gravity fed spray gun Lol. Low Budget paint job. Had to pay daycare today :( non the less..its going to be a glossy black for right now. Its half way done..but I got to go back to work..lunch seems to fly by when painting a car. Ill post some pics later on..but i look back and this car has come long way in 1 week!!

[94_ej1]

[sil84]

[SilviaSprung]

[Zander]

looks better than it did.

[hobbitman]

[ramman434]

That looks pretty good, now about the Camaro exhaust tips, lol...

[SilviaSprung]

its actually a rustolium paint .. Yeh the exhaust is coming off soon.. i HATE it! its loud and annoying.

[duncan]

i like the dual exhaust better than i like the rims on that em1. theyre ftl

[SilviaSprung]

i like the dual exhaust better than i like the rims on that em1. theyre ftl

Ill sell you the complete exhaust header back... $50 bucks lol. And what the hell does FTL mean? too lazy to type out a full word? lol.

[duncan]

i wasnt actually admiring the exhaust. i was bashing the wheels on the other civic. ftl = for the loss

[itsallme.NWH]

[SilviaSprung]

Ahh yes..now your making sense. Lol. I paid $10 for those rims w/ tires on my EM1. I couldnt pass it up. I had 18's on it and HATED it.

I hate the exhaust on the Eg also..i got another exhaust just havent had time to swap it over.

[duncan]

$10?! wow. you could have easily traded those bishes for some steelies.

[hybridkyle]

Paint looks good, for $13... now you just need some green/tan/brown in the mix...CAMO!!

[CiviclyDumped]

$10?! wow. you could have easily traded those bishes for some steelies.

steelies on an em1... duncan... really? you know better than that.

[SilviaSprung]

$10?! wow. you could have easily traded those bishes for some steelies.

steelies on an em1... duncan... really? you know better than that.

Lol. he is such a hater. I do what I can do with what I got. dont hate. At least they arent steelies. They are in investment..which im actually trying to sell anyways. Ive thought about two toneing the eg..so its not a plain black..but im trying to stay way from the ricey two tones

[duncan]

EG is looking good for less than $14

EM1 all dayyyyyy. haha

[duncan]

em1 needs fat 5's. and my shed needs 4 less fat 5's!

[yeahsirb16]

you could of atleast painted it in a garage!
i would like to meet who owned the car before you lol
you should sell all your cars and make one nice one :wink:

[coreylolz]

It really does look good for $13 bucks.

I'm impressed.

[Jonath0n]

em1 needs fat 5's. and my shed needs 4 less fat 5's!

tried it. doesn't look good. sorry. haha

i like the dualed out exhaust. :beer: instead of dropping it you shoulda got a lift kit for it.

[duncan]

get running boards down the side too. and tons of KC lights on the front

[SilviaSprung]

I already had fat 5's on my Em1..it didnt look good. And im not trying to build my Si for speed..fuck..i got a s13 with an rb in it..so im not worried about speed in the Si or Eg. Looking for more or less i daily driver with A/C so my daughter doesnt have to ride around in a hot ass car. Im sure unlike some of you guys on here with your stripped cars that is the only car they own..that you guys arnt a single parent with no help from the other parent. I messed up back then and im gladly paying for it now....so blow me if my car isnt to your liking.

As far as the EG...i didnt have an empty garage i could just pull my car into to spray. I wasnt looking for a top line finish..just to get the car all one color and looking half way decent under a tight budget lol. I am taking the duels off..i dont like it at all..and i dont like the high pitch ricey sound ither...Its a project..all takes time. But I can say..both my EM1 and EG both have cold ass A/C :)

To those that give good positive criticism..Thanks!!!
