Starting price is 340 a week around work. My first year I bought an RV and would stay in it during my work week. That gets old real fast, and I don't get to spend any time with my kids. So, I would rather make the drive back and forth and be able to give them hugs everyday.

Still here and still working on my 93 EG, Winter hit, got too cold, but here is an update.

To recap, I have replaced suspension front and rear with new. Replaced the heater core, Replaced the Axels and replaced the wheel bearings. Tried to repair the bad head gasket, drove it 3 times before it let loose again. Plus the ECU has a broken cap.

Picked up a 98 EX vtec and Saturday started to tear it down for the swap. Friend came over and helped me and we pulled the engines out of both. Adding a P28 Manual ECU, keeping obd1, The EG will become a 5 speed manual. Would have had it finished but it rained all day today.

After I have the new engine in and tested I'll finally move on to some mods...

New engine is in, 5 Speed is in. Mounted the 15" aluminum wheels from the donor car versus the stock 13" steels. Made a custom Trans to body mount from the original mounts and some 1x3 stock I had, Have a few little things to button down, but was able to drive the car last night.
