Guys I just picked up this EG hatch 2 days ago, has a LS swap header, exhaust and cheapie intake, and also lowered already.... This will be a long term project since I want to do everything the right way with quality parts... Keep u guys posted

Let me know what you guys think or any suggestions.

Looks like a good start! What plans do you have, as in motor wise, what do you want this car to do for you when you're all done? Sometimes I wish I picked up an EG hatch instead of an EK coupe.

Liking the ITR swap but for now, I want to focus a little bit on the body first, thinking about removing the engine and interior and getting the whole car repainted in championship white but first gotta get a new front/rear bumper and there's some cancer in the back that needs to be taken care off first.

Looks pretty good, is it flat red or is that paint faded really bad? Lol

IMO, respray it the original color. But I am biased as a fellow EH3 owner. We all have to start somewhere, glad to see another one being restored and not hacked up and parted out.

car has no power steering or AC so I removed all the brackets and also the cruise control.. lol no use for these things.

All those panels seem to line up well after a quick look. seems like a solid start. Motors can always be repaired, but body parts never fit the same after an impact.
