Thanks mate, seing as you have experience with the k-swap, would you.recommend the k24, or have you an regrets? Im undecided between k20 with 5.06 fd +plate diff, or k24 and standard ep3 box + plate diff, the cost would be similar jus k24's arnt exactly plentiful,
 
New the lad that had it before yeah...Have to say its some transformation from the big wheels and all the other shite to a proper looking EK9....Fair play to yeah its good to see some people take pride in rebuilding EK9's !!!

serious progress ald. looking real well!

is that the underside finished? interior and exterior to respray now?
 
this is briliiant. Would love to strip mine down to the shell and rebuild it all up again! lol
 
well done so far! attention to detail is spot on...


Im eyeing up that car spit you have... is it a home made jobby? I have a car thats stripped to bare shell, i want to turn it over to take old underseal off and respray again...

Would you sell or loan out the spit after your finished with the civic? I'm in Letterkenny myself so not a million miles away from you I wouldnt think.
