Default Budget Build CD5

Hi guys , i'm a pretty new member to Honda-Tech . I got my first CD5 back in November and never really got anywhere with it . I ended up totaling it in May and then got another one for 1200 in the dark and without even really inspecting it other than a test drive . the next day , I had a leaky , rusty beater that burns oil like hell . but it was my leaky , rusty beater that burns oil like hell so it was okay .

I wanted to lower my car since before I've even had one . So I got some function & form type 1's and put em on . this is when I realized my frame is basically rotted away on the rear passenger side . but anyway , the car looks nice other than the fitment since i'm on steelies . this is how she's sitting now for the most part .

I maxed her out in the back since and put in 'hood spacers' (longer bolt and a 1" spacer lol) . When I say budget , I mean budget . My latest experience is my brake line popping in 2 places . had to cut out the old one and put in a new one and patch another one . the ones left are still completely rusty but I just don't have the patience to go through that again . Idk when I'm getting rid of this car , could be in a week , could be in 3 months .

I'm looking at an ef hatch today , not too much info on it so far , but i'll keep ya posted if I like what I see .

I'll post pictures later on when I find out a website I could use .
