couldn't stay away... another Kswap hatch build...
I have no clue why in the hell I just did this, but I bought another dang car... :alkie:
I like build threads because you can document everything and since this build will be just as in-depth as my last, it will be fun and just as long of a process. My last car took about 3-4 years to complete and I think this one will probably be close to the same seeing as money does not grow on trees, I don't live with my parents, and life hits you in the face at times.
Some people may remember my old car that I did a full restoration on and was featured in Honda-Tuning:
Enough about that car. It was sold and gone and now in Canada somewhere.
This past weekend I picked up a shell (with most parts there just stripped down) from a friend of mine in Nashville. This car will be a 99-00 front and done somewhat similar to my old build, but with things I didn't like about the Green car, I will make sure I don't do it with this one.
Parts are expensive, so this will take some time. It did come with parts that I will post later, because I didn't get any pics of them.
Here she is in all her old glory:
In her new home next to the S2000:

Crazy, I saw this car at our local opener meet the last few years (Edmonton, Canada) but I have no idea if the guy is from Edmonton or somewhere else in Canada as I don't see it driving around the streets during summer. Your previous build is pretty crazy/clean. Good luck with the new build! If it is anything like your last it will be impressive.

thanks everyone, and the s is nothing special. It did have the RG2's on it but now back to OEM.
Picked up some Ricks diffusers and some spare headlights as well:

Also, took a pic of one of the many pieces to the hatch. I am looking for a house right now. So this build process will be slow until this all is over with:

Awesome! I read the Honda Tuning with your old ride in it a few months back and thought it kicked a$$. Can't wait to see the next one!

thanks guys Just put an offer in on a house. So this process will be slacking for a little while until all of this settles down.
