Here is my car, I bought it around a year ago and the more I work on it the more things I found wrong. But with the new year I have come close to fixing all the errors with it.
1. I knew the car would need some work so I didnt mind the body, I have simple plans for that.

2. When I bought it the former owner told me the car had a bad passenger bearing, that wasnt the only thing. After spending $200 to find out what was wrong in all the wrong places come to find out the upper control arm bushings were bad. Miami Chassis hooked me up though.

3. Further examination showed that my wiring was butched. They used speaker wire to wire vtec. Im currently debating on either buying a new harness or just correct the messed up parts and do a wire tuck.


4. They even managed to massacred the fuel pump wiring. Bare wiring is scary so I fixed it.

I have alot of plans for my car. Im still debating on color and motor but I just want to get the basics done on it. Its been frustrating working on something that another person messed up but I feel that I appreciate it more. Ill throw up some updates tomm and thanks for reading. (Flame suit on)

Your lucky, my body work is far worst. Im currently reading up on how to do a wire tuck so I can get my engine bay situated. Your hatch looks nice, you just gotta sand out the black paint from the indents on your sides. Im going to keep the color the same and just add mudguards, duckbill and a sir lip. I have some more pics to add later today.
