This is a great build thread man, keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing the progress, your plans seem very similar to mine

[clipsed]

thank you thank you, yes a lot of work going into the car. She will be getting a full inside out repaint. Once that is done, still need to replace all my bushings with a Prothane master bushing kit and get my front/rear big brake set up on along with asr rear subframe/brace and a front sway bar. Once that is done just gotta finish building my motor slap on the turbo and take her to get tuned. It's all finally coming along.

I also am thinking about seeing if someone in the UK would be willing to hit up a scrap yard and get me a sedan roof cut with sunroof. Really would like to install one on the car while it's in pieces. Wondering how much it would run me...

[ash d-series]

Are sunroofs worth something over there?
I scrapped a sedan shell not long ago and didn't bother taking the roof off

[clipsed]

Few and fair between. I have a roof cut off another car I may modify to work if I can't find an original one for a decent price shipped to the states. If you're willing to get one and ship it pm me and we can talk price. I have a price in mind im willing to spend if its cheaper great if anything ill just have to custom modify one to fit.

Really haven't done much of anything between then and now, got some problems going on, but recently I have been doing little things that will get done eventually so doing them now. First I got my ac/heater ducts all cleaned up, put on all new seals on them, and installed my CRX motors on them for my CRX climate control install...

The supplies...



Removing old foam...









AC/blower boxes complete...









Heater box...













Everything complete...



And a quick vid of it in action with the new door seals...



Also started to get cracking on my LED gauge cluster...







And I have also been working on my LED tail lights!...





More progress to come

LED speedo looks great

Very nice project especially since its gonna be a turbo

thanks gents, curious who can answer a question for me, I've been searching through threads and may have just missed it, but do the pre-facelift sedan (saloon) tail lights have full amber wrap around over on your side of the pond? Hard to tell, but if you look closely at the tail light pic above, you can see once it gets to the side, half of it is a red reflector due to DOT laws here in the states.

[Marc_EE9]

yes, full amber on the sides

[walsh123]

Very cool man, the speedo looks awesome, look forward to seeing the LED rear lights aswell

[clipsed]

yes, full amber on the sides

Gonna have to find me a set, designing these tails for the full amber tails.

Very cool man, the speedo looks awesome, look forward to seeing the LED rear lights aswell

Thanks, can't wait to finish them, gotta wait though as my grandmother just passed away the other day. So as soon as I get some extra funds I gotta order more LED's and stuff to get em finished up. Still trying to figure out if I'm going to do the small LED's for my reverse, or get a high power LED for it. Heat and dissipation of it is an issue if I go with a high power.
