tomorrow is the day. im ready to strip my 85 sedan down to its bare chassis. its been a long and harsh 3 years since shes been running =( but the rebirth starts tomorrow. my projected goal for this project is to get her running by mid july. lets give it an exact date shall we? JULY 15th, 2007. gotta have a goal right?? heres an overview of my project.
i have a 1985 usdm civic sedan.
i got a B18b i snagged up from "iftakumidroveacrx" along with hasport afb1 mounts.
this motor is going into the sedan in stock form for now. right now my main goal is to get the ls motor running.
at this stage im still collecting major parts but i just wanna strip her down so everythings ready for it when i got all the parts.
tomorrow im waking up bright n early to get started. i wanna pull the bumper and fenders off and hopefully have the old carbed motor out before i have to go to work at 6. ill be taking plenty of pics but it might be a slow process. so have patience! haha. im not sure if anyone on rpr is close enough to milpitas to stop by and say whats up, maybe have a beer or two. it'd be cool to meetup with at least some of you guys. i might even bust out the gas grill. let me know if you wanna stop by! im working on it the whole week until saturday.
my engine harness should be here by friday and ill be sending the wiring to rywire by next week. rywire is conveniently located 5 miles from my house so i decided to go that route.
after i get the car stripped, i want to set up the fuel system and get all the necessary wiring into the car.
thats all for now i guess. keep posted for some pics tmrw!
