Step 3: Cut out as much rust as you want and hit it with some rust convertor primer

Step 4: Go to lowes and buy a sheet of 20 gauge steel, then convince your metal fabricating brother to help you.  Cut metal with shears, bend it with a 2 x4, dead blow hammer and someone standing on the 2x4. Tack it in place

Step 5: grind down welds and bondo that mofo with little regard for precision

Step 6: paint the whip with krylon

I've been thinking about it, I'd like to get an old ef hatch but a sedan would be just as cool.  First I need to get ride of my old honda cb750.  I own too many bikes and before I get rid of that one I can't justify buying another vehicle.

EF sedans are the new pink, thats why I'm selling mine. Actually I just wanted a decent EG beater, the EF is too "raw" for me as a beater. Damn did it swallow parts though, I had a full b18 swap in it (uninstalled!), along with another b18 block/crank, b18b head disasembled, d16 head, and some other crap.

Sweet valiant, Between my brother and I we have all the spare parts needed to throw together another A body on the cheap. Just been looking around for the right car to install parts on, beat on for awhile and flip when the economy turns.
