My slow da/db build

thanks jalen

liking your DB bro

another update

new wide band

Still waiting on this to get here :slight_smile:

also went with the 92-93 front bumper. i ended up using the one from the white teg

while painting it

here it is all finised up, just waiting on jdp lip to get here

so its been a few months since ive updated this, but here it goes.

a while back i had my window smashed so they could take one of those jdm air freshner things.

I ordered a new window, but had to wait for the weather to clear up before i could replace it.

other then that i havent done much, i had gotten a bit busy with my new project.

This is how she’s sitting now. New lip and sideskirts

Love your db and hope the da is coming along. I’m also doing a buil thread (I’m new to all this) on my da it’s almost completely stock with 45,000 miles. Hope mine is as clean as yours one day

Thanks lacy. As for the da ill be posting some pictures of it soon. i havent done much to it since i havent had time, but my girlfriend did some work on it the last couple of days. Ive seen your build thread and it looks like its coming along pretty good.

The last couple of days christina worked on both the cars. She fixed the dumb cowl leak and the tail light gasket.

you can see how dirty they where before she cleaned them up

this is under the cover

after a bit of cleaning. you can see a huge difference

So this is what we did to fix the old gasket

She also removed the rubber grommets and cleaned them up. most of them were torn so i used some silicone to fix them. It was easier then having to go buy some new ones to lol.

everything was reassembled and its been a few days and no leaks at all.

So as for the da, the carpet got pulled along with the door panels and sunroof cover. reason being is that everything started to grow mold on it and a few rats had built a home in the car.

the carpet was really gross and was covered in moss and mold. She took the time to wash the carpet on a sunny day and scrub all of it off and out.

Cleaned up all the dirty under the carpet and off the shell a bit too before laying the carpet down.

car looks great. Clean DB. What side skirts do you have on? They look like they fit really well.

kinda look like db7,db8 side skirts, i would like to know also!

I honestly dont know what theyre off of, they were one the white da. I just pulled them iff and put them on the db, since i picked up some mugen reps for it.

Hey guys well i kinda did something today haha my bf had told me he saw a clean da at the junk yard for sale running and all… sooooo… went in today to check it out and…

haha i bought it :slight_smile:

took it home and did a tune up on it right away ha

I’m so excited to have a running da now haha cant wait to do more!

and selling the white da shell

put one pieces on :slight_smile: , so pretty now need another nice day to wash her up more!

^^ Awesome find!.. Im surprised even that EF hatch is more expensive than the DA you purchased.

Right! haha im surprised it was still there when my bf said he first saw it pull up to the junk yard. the guys said no one was buying cause it has hella miles, but i dont care im still building a motor for it and stuff ha it runs perfect!

I bought a car from a pick-n-pull in Illinois once. There is zero method to their pricing. I paid $11xx out the door for a '95 gsr sedan, while they had POS Neon’s priced higher. OP- good find on the DA, and I got a nice laugh out of the backwards shifter in the old white project shell.

did a bit more work to the new da again today. heres a few things we did.

antenna was broken so replaced it

also went and dug this out

added the rear visor

And last thing for today was rewiring the fog lights. really bad picture

ha thanks mydb1, im super excited ha

Well i took her out to her first meet with the bf ha i feel like im driving so high up ah used to my lowered car ha

And put on this beautiful hiro wing thats been sitting in the box for about half a year now, looks awesome cannot wait to lower her :slight_smile:

what do you guys think? what kinda wheels should i think about putting on this bad boy?

How she sits as of this weekend.

Nice looks nice what springs did you use?

What traction bar are you running on your DB, ive been looking to get on for my DA. Im aiming to do an innovative one because ive heard the k tuned had some clearance issues. but which ever one your running is tucked up all nice and tight
