Default newb

I am a newb to this forum, however not a newb to wrenching. I just picked up a 99 prelude that was boosted, has exhaust, and stereo. body in good shape except for peeling paint. So far I have removed the turbo setup because before I got the car(from a buddy) the crank pulley came off and timing belt was messed up. I got the car for $1000, and so far have painted the roof, hood, and trunk black. installed drilled slotted rotors, wheels. new head cometic hg, arp head studs, gates timing belts, and manual tensioner. The car sat up for 2 years, so I drained the gas as well. I got a cheap header and air intake. I plan on getting it running perfect before I look back at putting turbo on there. I will post some pics on here tomorrow. I still have to chase down some leaks before I can get this thang done!

its pollen season, I dusted away some. I would say my paint job is a 6 out of 10. I used single stage gloss black and had some contamination in the paint and it has tiny bubbles on the hood. I havent gotten under the car, but need to change oil cooler gasket and flip the distributor 180 degrees. I am pretty sure that us all have left on it.
