This is my '96 Integra. There are others similar, but this one is mine. Progress is slow on this, as it's not my daily at the moment. It's stored in a big garage right now.

Just a little update, this is the list of stuff to be ordered this Friday:

If I can afford it, I'll also be getting either a used or rebuilt steering rack. I might have to wait to get it. I'd like to do it while the engine is out, though.

6 months later:
Timing belt snapped, no valves were damaged in the incident, but it gave me a chance to tear down my engine... The bitch part is, I just replaced the timing belt and got it all in time! Apparently, I either had the tensioner too tight, or not tight enough. I thought I knew what I was doing... Expensive way to learn... Luckily, no head or block warp!

I've found some light scarring on the cylinder walls, mainly the two outer walls. I've recently made friends with a machinist with a shop, and he looked over the block and said it can be revived, sooo....

$140 - Tank & Bore .020"(0.5mm) over.
$60 - Polish the crankshaft
$300 - Rebuild "kit". NPR Pistons & Rings; Crank bearings, gaskets, oil pump...

He tested my valves and springs, but still recommended that I replace as much as I can, as quickly as possible.
I'm about to start a new job, and around the corner is another semester, so $1500 in my pocket from school is going all into the engine.

This has given me time to hack away at the body work, dollar by dollar.

Since the car's been moved to the side burner, due to other things going on in life...
...The rebuilding of this car is going to creep along, she's resting in a garage, about to be torn completely apart...

-This upcoming week, $140 to clean and bore the block 0.020"(0.5mm) over; $75 for epoxy and primer for the rust areas; Rear bumper support for $75.

-Next week, this rebuild kit for $295 shipped; OEM Strut & Spring assemblies for $230 shipped.

Thanks! I appreciate it. It's still in the rough stages, to be honest lol. I just want to get everything I can back to OEM status, THEN start upgrading things.

The next things to get are:
-This remanufactured steering rack for $200
-All 4 remanufactured calipers for $230, discs and pads.
-Bushings all over the place.
-Axles.
-Engine mounts, too!
