Minor update from tonight, got the rear buttoned up, mirrors and door handles installed, as well as the foglights wired up. Tomorrow night we're going to put the new windshield in as well as finish buttoning up the front end. Friday it goes to get the windows tinted then that evening we should be putting the suspension components on!







Here are some of the other random painted parts, got the CTR grill put on the front bumper and the foglight surrounds on:

Another minor update. We would have had the front end completely done tonight, but found a missing bumper bracket so that will be in tomorrow and we can get that complete. Tonight we put the new fender well liners in, the thin moldings put in place, new windshield installed, fenders on and aligned, as well as the foglights mounted into the bumper. We installed the side skirts and got the rear bumper to align a little better. Tomorrow night we will get the front bumper put on, light beams adjusted properly, and then get the foglight surrounds and front lip installed. We are also going to try and get the suspension done... which I hope shouldn't be a problem.















Oh, and a brand new Honda symbol

Well, last night we completed the exterior portion of the car, other than the foglight surrounds as that needs to wait til after we adjust the beams on the foglights. We completed the front suspension and then ended up breaking a couple bolts on the rear lower control arms cause they were rusty as shiet,,, so we're getting all new bolts for the rear today and completing the car. I have to pick up the wheels/tires from being mounted and balanced today shortly after 11 and then hopefully my boss will give me the afternoon off so I can go finish up the car yet this afternoon. Monday it goes in for an alignment and then I'll probably drive the car the whole day

On to the pics.....

Yesterday the windows were tinted to South Dakota legal 20%


Before the CTR "style" urethane lip


After the CTR "style" urethane lip


Coilovers installed


Front Camber Kit Installed


Front Suspension done


Something tells me this will be tooooo low... It will be raised up a bit, no worries Also, the calipers will be painted black again after I replace the rotors and pads, that's after a bit though... more updates on that later


Here are a few random shots I snapped:

Again nevermind the holes in the bumper, the surrounds aren't on yet to cover them up









Just a little SOHC Powa for now, that will get swapped out this coming winter :D, and yes I know my engine bay is awefully dirty... that will be cleaned up and painted when the engine is out, also this winter

Well, the exterior is "done," I say done in quotes because a car enthusiasts car is never really done, IMO.

I'm planning on doing a B swap/wire tuck this winter and then spray the bay while it's out. Yes Zach, I'm pretty sure it's staying at that height, we'll see what's it's sitting like after Monday when it gets aligned.

I got the lip from PasswordJDM
