Default 97 Civic EX Coupe project

Picked up the car January 23rd, 2010. I have a lot of plans and the car is starting from completely stock and automatic. Interior is a 10/10 and exterior is a 9/10 so its a good start...

This is what we are starting off with platform wise:


Engine bay before:



Day 1:
washed the car
degreased the engine bay
removed the "CIVIC" and "EX" badges from the rear
removed the factory Honda sun roof visor
using a buffer I applied paint restore to get any dirt out before waxing
used plastic renew on the headlights
wiped it down and waxed it



Day 2:
replaced stock speakers with Polk DB951's
replaced stock head unit with a Sony CDX
added some sound dampening to rear wheel well
ran amp wiring



Day 3/4:
Removed the interior pieces and removed the window tint



Day 5/6/7:
Re-did the engine harness for a tuck
Original location for the main harness



Almost done



New location for the wiring right below the heater core lines



Day 8:
Burned out old bushings



Day 9:
Removed the auto dash to swap the manual wiring + dash so theres no need to cut and splice any wires



Day 10:
Headlight harness tucking



Day 11:
All the fluids drained
Unbolted everything besides the top 3 mounts, preparing for the D pulling
Removed the axle nuts

Day 12:
Pulled the D
Removed stock exhaust



Day 13:
Cleaned the engine bay


Day 14:
Finished the headlight harness wire tuck
