nothing to report except i finished and looemd the wiring running down the driver side, i'll probably be putting the front end on shortly and have everything looking all buttoned up. i also ordered a few things from heavythrottle that they said would be sent out yesterday or today. nothing big, i just wanted to get soem good deals before they are gone compeltely.

before i get much more work done, i'm taking on a side project of fixing my friend's civic's rear bumper. it's his wife's car and he backed into the civic's rear bumper with his car, so to make a little cash on the side, i'm repairing and repainting it for him

lemme know what works for you, and i can make something work. the only thing is i might need to buy a new bench vise, i pretty much beat the s*** out of the old one to get the bushings in, but we might still be able to use it

the pineapple bushings are for s13s and s14s. the instructions telling you to leave the sleeves are for s14s only. for s13s you removed the sleeves

the rust gel came from walmart iirc and yep, no shields back there. i got the pics and damn, that really is the entire side, front to back. i'd still take it to drive around for the right price. the biggest concern is the rear qp

hence why i would part it...

i think imma wait till next week monday or tuesday and inquire about it... i got some money to play with since i have time till the belts will come in anyways right?

its got some nice poenza tires on the stockers, so i can just say i bought it for the tires, and the rest can be profit

least thats what i could tell myself

Just an FYI, I bought the pineapple bushings for my s13 and went to install them last weekend but they are too small if you remove the collars... so for BOTH s13 and s14 LEAVE the collars in or they will be too small and fall through. Wanted to clarify that if possible...

great build progress, the engine bay looks good!
