my DIY painted eg hatch (nikon inside)

I got this car as a completely stripped shell with no motor and no interior. Took about 4 months to put together. All work done on this car was done in our garage and painted at a friend's house. Comments welcomed!

Here it is when we first trailored it home.

And here it is nowww

no motor shots since nobody wants to see a stock dx motor anyway

Re: (dohcVTECeg2)

Re: (JDM EJ1 95)

yea the program i use to take away the noise from the pictures makes them a bit smooth and flat. spent like 1 whole week wetsanding and my friend did the buffing. wetsanding is a pain, all my finger prints were gone afterwards lol.
