Default Pics of my project 4door

well here's pics of my project 4door. i already have two fenders, but i just need a front bumper. i started to flatblack the roof and sides, but i think when i put on the fenders and bumper i might redo it again since it looks like ****. i shaved all the emblems, but the bondo came out like ****. the car is a 90 dx.

mods so far:
neuspeed racing springs
short shifter
front bumper rebar uninstalled(i know i'll probably get flamed for this)

upcoming mods:
si tranny(already have)
a6 head(already have)
MPFI professionally done by a friend
88-89 tailight conversion
custom 2.25 exhuast with dynomax super turbo exhuast






what do you guys think? its nothing spectacular, but its my first project car

*EDIT* thats my girlfriends 94 si in the background

those springs are total pieces of ****, if you want springs that actually help with handling those are def. not the way to go. they might lower your car a lot, but progressive rate springs are not meant to handle well.

i know neuspeed springs handle like ****. i used to have them on my old 92 jetta. rode like *** and handled even worse. they came with the car though..

i want 88-89 tails because i think they look better and i like to confuse people

people have no respect for people ****. someone kicked the side of my car and jumped on the roof and left that bitch dented atleast 6 inches all around. you can kinda tell in the pics the roof is messed up

Not that that really matters but really my car handles really nuteral with these, then add in the rear sway and say helwo to oversteer

so what are good springs that will lower your car and handle well? What about Eibach, are they good for that?

Yes, springs are fine. good shocks with some extended top hats will make a world of difference


Wish I could afford a project car right now.
