Default 91 DA complete restore and build!!

So long story short had this car since i was 15 now going on 29 and 8 or so years ago i decided to rebuild it and it mostly sat but more recently started getting everything done so enough with the chit chat and on with the pics..
if you guys have any questions dont hesitate to ask.....

The car will be a daily driver and for now just a stock rebuilt motor and will turbo later on.

Skirts are from a Chevy malibu, as for mounted the top will be 3m taped but the bottom will have 3 metal aluminum brackets glassed to the skirt and bolted to the car so the hold up. also thanks for the positive feedback!!

Other than the tires being too narrow for those rims and the missing timing belt covers, it looks like a lot of work. Glad you didn't pick any ugly aftermarket bumpers or body kit.

reason for no timing belt covers is they are going to be molded so i can make carbon fiber covers instead of the plastic ones.

The wiring harness i did myself, every inch of it was unwrapped, took every wire i didnt need out, and then rewrapped and layed out slightly different so i didnt have to extend but 9 wires (8 for the injectors and another 1 for an egine sensor) and still be able to tuck everything and have an extremely clean car harness all though it will never be seen but at least i nkow its looks great and you guys seem to appreciate it

and how long did what take to take apart ? the harness or the whole car?

The whole car i stripped down in about 2-3 days total, did it fast cause i had a previous integra i stripped and labeled every bolt when i took that apart, so i wasnt worried about remebering where half the stuff went, plus i bought new hardware for alot of stuff and it was generic 10mm size honda uses anyway.

Had the car for 13 years, but have done all the work in the past 6 monthes
