Not so clever given my current backlog of projects..
The temptations of Ebay being to blame.
But I just agreed to buy a 2g integra B18 engine (non vtec) and 5-speed. Seller is wreaking his damaged car & agreed to sell EFI system, wiring etc & frt exhaust as well for reasonable sum.
I'm still afraid this may still add up to unreasonable once I start thinking of all the other potential bits I'd still be wanting... Starter, alternator, g/shift linkage, driveshafts, radiator?, Electronic speedo?, fuel pump(possibly 1g integra?). Upgraded 4x100 brake bits I may have but have also heard of possibly better 262mm size options.
Will probably still wind up more than if I'd gone to buy a wreaked one at auction, (though last purchase of wreaked 1g integra ended up being another car I wanted to save!).
Naturally this would be for a 1979 Accord hatch conversion:
Probably this sad one rather than my daily beige.
More work but I wouldn't feel so guilty doing more outrageous things to it than I would dare to do upon my old one.
Still have to determine precisely how much I am buying & removal/transport.
might even be able to cut entire front off it complete if he's game?
