Look what showed up in my driveway tonight

[crazymikey]

I'm impressed with progress so far.

That was all accomplished the first time I touched the car lol.

Looking good, was it hard to swap the dash?

Are you swapping seatbelts as well?

100% full swap, piece for piece.

Dash is easy to do. Bit of a pain to put back in, but it's pretty straight forward.

so why are u parting the se coupe? i missed it along the way somewhere.

[Kboers]

At first I was gonna say something along the line of that car is beat and you should just part it out and find something in a little better condition but I saw that ex-r badge and now I would like to compliment you on your excellent find.

Ah yeah, I should probably go edit the ad. There's still stuff for sale from it, minus the interior, and I might have some EXR stuff available.

I thought I was going to sell the EXR, but for how little money I have invested into it at this point, I may as well just continue with it.

i like it mikey. i can't wait to see how you style this one . glad its home . i keep looking at the post ,and forget to comment. i think its a great find .

Black/tan interior FTW!

[crazymikey]

In the process of swapping parts today, I came across a few minor differences, which I think everyone should be aware of.

1. 1990 EXR with 3rd brake light in the rear shelf. 1993 SE does NOT have the 3rd brake light in the rear shelf, and the rear shelf is not shaped to accept a 3rd brake light.

2. 1993 gauge cluster is not compatible with 1990 wiring harness. The plugs are different.

3. 1993 (this may only be coupe specific) seatbelt reels, where they mount at the bottom of the B pillar, are taller than the 1990 ones. On the bottom, there is a 17mm bolt, and on the top of the reel is a 10mm bolt and a hook that goes into a hole. The 10mm bolt on the 93 reels do not line up in the 90. I actually had to cut out the area where the 10mm bolt fastens to make room for the 93 reels to clear. I then made a new hole for the hook and used a couple self tapping screws in place of the 10mm bolt.

4. Sedan carpets DO fit in a coupe, however, as the doors are longer on a coupe, you'll be left with a small gap in your sedan carpet where the carpet would go around the A pillar towards the back door. I haven't figured out how I will remedy this, but there is enough carpet where I can pull it up flush with the door sill garnish and perhaps glue or fasten it down some how.

As for the current style I'm going to go for. Once the interior is swapped, I'm going to paint my stock alloys white, with the flat face of the lip painted red.

Bumpers, lights, moldings and trunk all swapped to 93 style, repainted white, black moldings, black hood (most likely) and red pinstripe on the black molding.

Sounds good man, I also like the idea of white on white.

X2 Its gonna look nice! Cant wait to see it. Keep us posted.

The reason the 1993 SE coupe does not have a 3rd brake light is because it came stock with a spoiler that has a 3rd brake light

Im kind of suprised the seatbelts did not swap right over. Were you trying to swap the black seatbelts in or the tan ones?
