It's pretty clean. The paint is original and could use some work (deep clean, clay and wax), but overall no rust and straight body.
Love the ride! Getting passed all day long on the highway UNTIL a nice corner or on-ramp! Then it doesn't even feel like I'm turning except for the steering wheel movement.

Just waiting on parts so the stock pile begins...
JDM window visors. (Will be installed AFTER windows are tinted!)
J's Racing Honda Primo windshield banner. (Will be applied AFTER chips are repaired!)
Brake calipers and brackets have been dropped off for powder coating. I decided on Cardinal T009-RD03. I'm not a big fan of two-colored car themes, I'm stuck with Tahitian Green Pearl and black so a few hints of red will help add some interest -brackets and calipers, windshield banner and eventually front and rear Honda emblems.
Cardinal RD03 powder coat.
Akebono front calipers.
Disassembly. And a basic cleaning.
Shiny caliper piston!
Rear are disassembled. I only took one photo. Black over gold!
Goodridge SS brake lines and OEM caliper rebuild kits.
Next on the list is Integra seats - front and rear. I have the entire set in my possession, but I'm going to have the rear bench customized to fill the void left because the corners are round and not square like the 3dr. Civic/Integras. I'll update the with pics that show better what I'm taking about. For now...
Integra GS-R graffiti grey front seats. (They NEED to be cleaned, deeply!)
Rear graffiti grey uppers.
Rear graffiti grey lower. (The cover isn't secured to the cushion.)
Current stock interior.
