** I think it's round 3 now for Mr. Coupe...K series ej7 full restoration fun time **
Well I figured I'd make one more on here for the finishing of the coupe.
Short story on the car....It's a 97 civic hx coupe
Bought it in January of 06...got it with a 98 spec ITR motor and thats about it...just slammed it and rocked it....long story short motor blows..then I wanna go K and do a big build and I'm broke...I end up with a fully stripped coupe..no job...and a crappy daily. 2 years later I'm where I'm at now and the coupe is a few months away from finally being done! I can't wait...been a long time coming.
I'm gonna just throw a few pictures on here rather than the whole build cause theres way too many pictures for that.
A few companies helping contribute to the build as well now! Big up's to these guys...look for alot of their products on the car as it nears completion
www.chasebaysonline.com
www.hybrid-racing.com
www.skunk2.com
www.driveshaftshop.com
www.weaksauceparts.com
www.royalpurple.com
Heres some pictures as it progressed though the build
Thanks for checkin it out! look for daily updates...this car hits the paint booth this coming weekend the 28th

Looks good. Is the bay color a light blue-ish, or is it more of a battleship grey, and are you going to paint the whole car that color?

thanks guys
Yes sir thats the color the car will be...not a battleship gray like is seems in the pictures...lots of gold and blue pearl in it. The most you'll get me to say on what the color's name is though is sausage silver
