Always wanted and ef hatch , lucky find couldn't find any si ones around my area

[sleeps]

More...

[sleeps]

Little cleaner and elbow grease, and alot of scraping and brushing later....






Now, trans is back in, waiting on fabbing up a new battey tray, then should be driveable ready to start adding the cool stuff.

[sleeps]

Got it running, needs some more parts to get it safe but she runs and starting to look decent.

And yes, actual mileage.













Once I get some more major things fixed ie: cv axle, motor mounts, wheel bearings, oil leaks... Ill be able to work on the wheels and then some suspension parts.

[sleeps]

Start of a new rear floor cover with, make a template. Then cut the wood....







Painted the cross bars black. Looks better. Bad angle.

[sleeps]

Sanded and fitting...

Why not use one piece of wood? It doesn't look like it sits even

[sleeps]

Tried that. The shape and size wont allow it to go in or out as 1 piece. Im also using scrapes of free wood, so I used what I had to work with.

[DeltaAlpha9]

Wow, and I thought my seat bolsters were jacked up. I'd love to find an EF hatch, let alone a free one.

[sleeps]

I should have taken one of the horrid job and things I used to fix it. ;p Cant see it with the seat cover now, but it was good. Anyway, onto the staining....

[lublub]

I thought you were going to throw some carpet on the wood floor...I'm bi-curious to see what it'll look like stained.

[sleeps]

Its not bad, but not as nice as I thought it would be. It was my first time and I know what not to do next time. The wood was not as consistant as I had hoped, and the rust on the seats looks terrible, and the plastic has not been cleaned so overall it doesnt help. Oh well. On to more stuff.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

The fact that the grain isn't all facing the same direction isn't helping either.

Either carpet that floor or cover it with a sheet of veneer.

[sleeps]

Ok so spoiler alert, it looks alot better when there is some light on it, and not in the back dark corner of the shop. Though I agree the mismatched wood does nothing to help.

You could always go and buy a cheap pack of laminate flooring. I did my hatch for $20 and had a hell of a laugh when the cashier asked me what I needed one pack of flooring for.
