Didn't have much time saturday to do much so only managed to Fit the wheels and remove the rest of the carpet so here is how she is now, carpet was a pain in the arse as i didn't really have time to start removing all the plastic so was just a case of pulling hard lol Cut my hand a few times
Still don't like the chrome lip on the wheels as it makes them look even smaller so I'm thinking when i get the chance just spray them completely black?
So here is how she looks ATM.
As you can see being used for storage of her own body parts lol

I'm going to wade in here. Mods please clean up this thread once this argument has settled, Not fair on Chris.
vti2010- You got a b18'd EK9 Shell with a welded in cage for around the £3k mark. This was at a time when average standard EK9's were still going £6K. Your argument is therefore invalid. The shell was spotless and the cage was worth a fair bit. Breaking that car would probably of made your money back or spending money on an engine rebuild and it would've still been a bargain.
The engine spun a bearing. Dan never opened up the engine to look at it himself. These things happen. There are 2 detailed build threads, still on this forum prior to you buying it with that engine in there. They are impressive threads and the two previous owners spent a lot.
Dan is not a mechanic, he is a car enthusiast. He drove the car all of 20 miles when he owned it. How is he to know there is an oil burning issue?
Chris: Dan bought your EP3 off a friend and was unknowingly sold a car with problems. Dan and I took the car to Automek (Andrew Baird) to get checked over. What this guy doesn't know about Honda's isn't worth knowing and he will look after any car he has in like it is his own. The car was already for sale at this point and I believe you were interested. Automek spotted the problems and Dan paid for the important repairs prior to selling the car.
Second hand cars are bought as seen. I understand that there is a responsibility from the seller to be honest. I do not think Dan has been dishonest.
Enjoy your project Chris.

The fact that your his good mate makes any point you have invalid. As I said Dan knows the score end off. He knew that it was burning oil so stop talking nonsense
P.s I paid 3600 so not quite 3k, the description even said it had a oil cooler let me guess he did know that it didn't.... As said early end of convo
