Default saved hatch

A friend of mine was just going to junk this dude so I picked it up from him. It sat in his dad's garage for 5 years w/o being touched! Originally I was just going to restore it and sell it, but I kinda started to like it so i think it is going to become my new project. Crazy thing is, the car fired up and runs like a champ even after sitting for 5 years. Gotta love hondas. anyways, heres how its gone so far....

the day I towed it home


started removing broken stuff


got here and decided to clean...before


after


new front end from passwordjdm


back together w/ city lights on


and fogs


as it is today


its possible new heart out of my integra


thanks for looking

thanks for the comments guys. I picked up front and rear brakes from a wrecked integra, other plans are 5 speed conversion, motor swap, complete paint job (outside and inside, possible color change), i already have ground control coilovers and am getting koni yellows, new manifold and downpipe, wire tuck, yanking a/c...some other crap. i'm actually going to try and take my time w/ this one and do things right the first time.

my dc is a little beat up, i was getting ready to have it re-sprayed, then i realized there is no way it is going to pass emissions, so i am going to put it back to stock for now as my DD.

heres an older pic

That's really nice work. Good to see a car that could easily be saved be saved instead of being destroyed.

i have a few questions for you. did you get the new front end professionally installed or did you do it yourself? did you take it to a body shop to get the frame straightened out? if so, mind me asking how much it was? thanks.
