93 EG Hatch Build

Having finished up the suspension (minus coilovers) I figured the next logical step would be to dive into the engine bay. I’m itching to start on the engine bay body work but I felt it’d be smarter to address every existing issue, and figure out how/where everything would mount up prior to spraying any paint.

# Getting ready for the test drive While the car may not be on the road yet, it’s come quite a bit closer to getting there. Lately I’ve been working on fixing everything that was sub-optimally done previously by me. Read more...
