Default my slow db1 build

bought in december 2011, car was totalled from the front and left side, the motor ran great and it was 100% stock. but i remembered the old episode of MTV true life im a street racer and the kid on there eugene had a really nice 91 4dr..so i picked it up as my new dd..i dont have any pics of it crashed cuz i immediately changed the entire front end to a bronze color one..thats where we will begin..



nothing fits rite cuz the radiator support is bent to hell. but then i added a type r red honda badge



did some maintnence, changed the cam seal, plugs, oil valve cover gasket, all that good ****



then next was some cheap coilovers from a buddies car..



and then an ebay cold air intake..

The car has come quite a ways man. Its looking pretty good. Sorry to hear about the medical retirement, I hope you are doing alright healthwise. This reminds me a lot of my '93, especially with the white and overspray lol.

What color are you planning on painting her? I have always loved white on DBs. The pearl white from the TL would look damn nice.
