ej9 first build/project

[Patrickej9]

Hello all new here I'm from malvern/worcester and finally got my self a honda civic ej9 for a bargin.well what I thought at the time brought it as a project but turned out to be my daily drive.
it's on coiL overs think there getting by the end, bbs wheels, cambered which is off set alot, some light weight rust which I'm not to sure what to do with and a lot of dents and scratches but im happy because I got a civic going to try to attend to as many meets when I find some but here she is. This is the only picture which seems to upload.

Not to sure what I'm gonna do with the dents and rust at the moment, found a scrap yard which had a silver ej9 and turned up to buy some rail dues to mine being bodged and some straight panels but when I got there they scraped it but on the happy side had to replace rear wheel bearing which was hanging and cost a lovely £100 , lamber sensor and a tyre which has started going down slowly. Got some lower arms to fit on the weekend and try to clean up the back and also changed a couple of bushs.

Looking for some wing mirrors and planing to buy a cambelt kit at some point.

Sorry for the bad intro and pics but I now know how to post pics but this weeknd fitted some lower arms added some paint under the archs,took off The grill to spray. ,cleaned up the rear coil overs and cut the rear nuts due to the hub cap nto sitting properly.

Heated up these adjusters so I could set the camber right .Had no chance with just the spanners.

Not to sure how much camber to have.

Done a bit of spraying by my self turned out fairly well.

Finally found some wingmirrors makes it look a lot better. (old to new )

Only could get manual but I don't really mind. Need to find some doors/wings to replace my dented ones. and find some front seats possible red recaros.

Your back tyres won't be long lasting with that camber ha, nice bit of work done all the same

Thanks mate and yeah noticed the wear already. Not to sure to keep them. Or just adjust it to normal.

Thought I would start by making the seat rails .

Not the best at taking pictures

But happy days it's Friday

Window motor packed up today. Striped it down so had to use wood to hold it up but took it apart and repaired works like new

Then my snap on gun stopped working only had it a year

Then had some goodies come but been told the short shifters tend to snap but we will see
