Default Newbie from UK, Some pics of my car (eg Hatch)

Hey folks! Newbie here from the Uk.... (Northern Ireland)

Heres some pics of my First car... Eg Hatch Lsi.

Bought the car Damaged.....





As you can see the front was bashed in and both rear quater panals had dents in them...

So me and my friends got to work Sorting the bodywork!




A rough coat of primer ^

Ooh and some Ambers!



Now the car is currently sitting like this after a Spray






Going for some Camo Green rims hopefully

And thats about it so far!

It looks great, Im excited.
Ive always wanted to spend some time out of the states and see what the scene is like elsewhere.
Is everything USDM crazy like the JDM craze here?

Dude I always thought that LSI's were vtec... But it's the JDM Del Sol VXI's and Civic VEI's that were vtec.

Wow and to think i was about to buy a non-vtec runaround car! Del Sol VXI it is then lol

Looks like a great starter for you. Good job on the bodywork too.

A suggestion for you:
spray the inner slats of your grille black again, so it looks like proper OEM. Too many people forget to do that after a respray, and it gets on my nerves, lol.

No, we're the only idiots who devote lots of time and money to changing the drive side to something much more inconvenient for our roads so we can be something we're not.
