took this functional car, made it non-functional

interuor stripped, underdash a/c components salvaged, wiring harness for all the power goodies (windows, locks, cruise, etc) stripped out.

found a rando set of tools, 67 cents, and one foreign coin.

my buddy busted a socket wrench into his fave and got a sweet bruise.

all and all a great fun day in the garage

Gimme a bucket to sit on and it’s perfectly drivable.

Taking it apart was always easier and more fun than trying to figure out how it all goes back together. I was always better at the former than the latter.

Happily, Honda’s of that era were built using steel, aluminum, plastic, and common sense engineering.

yes. this is an EX model, but an ugly coupe. It is donating all the features and engine that are better to my VX, which is a hatch, so better looking

Ah right, yes! Sorry! Forgot you were sorting out the red hatch! :)

A lot of work, but should be a nice car when done! We had a 2000 Civic sedan with auto....boring, but a very reliable family car until rust finally killed it...

i had a 2000 civic hatch I did almost the same thing switching over all the power goodies from an si coupe.

this time I’m going for a more sedate engine for a daily driver. but i dont like.not having ac or power windows, so that had to change

My car has no power anything....or ABS...or traction control...or A/C. Only thing I really miss is power mirrors though.

even as a tiny car, no power steering is probably my biggest complaint. i attempted a parrallel park the other day. and I am already a crap parallel parker
