Bass Man's got a HATCH!

[Bass Man]

And it's white! I love having connections with the right people.

It has the straightest body I've every seen.

[Bass Man]

Only paid $220 for it and a parts Sidekick. It might run, but it's an A1 motor and an Auto tranny, sooooooo.... I'm gonna have to strip mine out!

[dacantu]

hmmm maybe you should make this the car to build by the time the medford meet comes around

[2ndGenGuy]

omg ITZDAVE's car!

[Bass Man]

I hate the interior, so I hope I can replace the dash with mine, and hopefully the seats, too.

[A18A]

nice, looks like it will clean up well

They should be a direct swap (I know the dash is at least).

I hate you right now though. Just thought I'd share that.

I am searching high and low for a White hatch (preferably an 88-89 LX-i, 5-spd), but the absolute necessity is that it's straight, clean and rust free. ...and that looks to fit the bill.

Congrats. Now get your bass in there and I promise you you'll never go back. The hatch has by far the best acoustics of any 3G out there (except for maybe the Aerodeck, but I don't know for sure).

I was thinking the exact same thing! Looks like it has good potential.

how much cause money talks for me lol

[lostforawhile]

brings back memories, on the interior only 86-87 parts will fit 86-87 and 88-89 parts will fit 89. the older seats won't interchange with the newer seats, unless you swap tracks and do a lot of work, the later seats have the belt attached to them, and have double track locks and one track is totally different.

[greentee76]

Nice score. I, like Mark, have been looking for a hatch for awhile. Let us say that they do not come up (exist?) around here in that condition.
Good luck with it.

[Bass Man]

Thanks for the congrats, everyone. My Tow-truck driver gets these 3g's just about 3 a week, and he said he crushed a yellow Hatch that looked a little better than this one, but it had PERFECT black interior, just last week... I just about got emotional... There is no room for these anywhere when he gets them, so he just has them crushed. It makes me pretty mad, but I can't have a junkyard here...

My green one is an 87 and the hatch is an 87, so everything should fit, apart from the door panels being a different color. DAVE!

I'm really happy I got a hatch. I like the look of them, and I really wanted the hatch, because like Mark said, it's got great acoustics. My ~142db system in my trunk will be a ~145db just from it being a hatch, plus I'm gonna make a box that will use the hatch better than a regular ported box.

I was wanting an 88-89 5speed LXI, myself, but this is a good start. It will be way faster than a stock 88 LXI 5spd hatch when I'm done with it.

I'll be done with it by the first of the year. If I didn't have sooooooo much to do before I could get to the Honda's, it would be done by next week. lol

[smayala]

congrats. I wish I could find a hatch with a body in that shape around here. They are all beat to crap. its kind of sad how bad some of them are by me. You are lucky because that body looks damn good

[Rendon LX-i]

Sexy....Theres a place bout 40 min away. Its has like 30 3geez and 40 cb7 and goes on an on. Im prolly going there to get my rear disk convo. This guy dont like to throw hondas away. He says Its throwing money away...FUCKER has his shit hidden. NEVER knew till i was taken there.

[Bass Man]

I'm gonna try for AOTM with this thing eventually. It's gonna get my 100% effort, this time.

[Bass Man]

That little metal piece above the rear window is broke off. Anyone know where I can get one?

[mykwikcoupe]

if you want to swap the blue interior for a red one i got one. Every piece as I swapped to black. Make me an offer and come get it or if I come to the n=meet Ill see what I can do. From the dash to the tails I got it for you.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Welll look at you go... Nice find. Good luck on the project!

[Civic Accord Honda]

DUDE!! i really f'n hate you right about now!!! White DX hatch with blue interior is the exact the 3g i want to buy! ... I refuse to get one with the ugly maroon interior which i see in most of them... But damn looks really clean and fresh! cant wait to see this car when its done!

[Bass Man]

I wish there was more I could do for the interior, but I'm not an interior guy and the seats (all 4 of them) are in REALLY bad shape, and the dash is worse than the one in my green rig. At least the carpet is in good shape, rather than the one that's half-tore up in the green one.

Thanks, Hash. There is a lot of insperation here that I will be using. I checked the rear upper ball joints and they felt really good! I guess the previous owner was a reallllllly old man with money, and he loved his car. Soooooo.... Don't be hatin'! lol

Thanks for the offer, Mkwc, but I think I'm gonna use my grey interior.

check JC whitney, they have permanent custom fit seat covers that attach with hog rings, you would order a set specifically for your car, you can leave the original upholstery in place or remove it before installation. a set will have both front seats and a back seat piece to fit the back

[Bass Man]

Well, some of the cushin from the rear seats are torn out for some reason.

the top or bottom cushions? I'm sure someone on here knows where there is a hatch at a yard, if they remove the foam it shouldn't cost anything to ship. if the foam has been exposed to UV light, it will harden and crack really quick. it turns that dark yellow color.

[MessyHonda]

nice...whatz going to happen to the sedan?
