Hey guys I guess it's about time I get this going, I ordered an EK9 shell from vtec performance last year but only started working on it this summer. I've been really busy lately so couldn't get much done but I have been collecting panels and parts for a B18 swap.

Here's a picture of how it arrived and I'll start putting up pictures of how it stands at the moment a little later

Thanks for looking although there isn't much to look at lol, the plan for now is to get all the original panels and bumpers fitted as I want to keep it as OEM as possible, planning to go for a B18c4 as I want to turbo in the future.
 
I have brand new rear bumper and lip if your interest pm me
 
woah, thats a proper ground up build! it's a very nice base though, I prefer prefacelifts.

will you be dropping in the engine yourself and what turbo setup you going for?

are you keeping it in a Wickes car park or something :p.

btw this is Zubair from Saturday lol.

Yup I'm doing everything ground up, it means I know everything is working perfectly before I use it, at the moment I'm concentrating on just getting it running. The engine is coming within the week hopefully so I can get the bay sprayed and engine put in at the same time.

In terms of turbo I'm still not sure, I've been looking at the Go Autoworks turbo but they haven't replied to any of my emails :((

The picture was taken on the first day I got it , I had to take it there because the truck it came on was MASSIVE and couldn't go down my road lol, it's outside my house now and I'm working on it slowly
