rebirth of my hatchie
i bought this car a while two januarys ago. 2 weeks later it was stolen and stripped. im in the final stages of finishing it. the whole interior had to be replaced, the engine tore down.. rebuilt.. broken in.. and tuned, and today i just picked it up from getting the front end painted!
so i had to go out and snap some pics!!!
here we go from the beginning when i bought it
then it got stolen
here it is with most of the interior back in and before i knew the engine was trashed
here it is running, during the break in....unpainted
FINALLY!!! here it is today, broken in and painted. all i need is an oem front lip

they took interior(momo seats, wheel, 4pt autopower bar, spoon rear strut bar and m&r harnesses), hood, bumper, wing, intake, header, exhaust, and spun 3 rod bearings.
im very lucky they couldnt get off the 7 sided lugs and take the wheels, suspension, or brakes
karma is a bitch because he is in jail now with multiple counts of grand theft auto
...i found that out recently
no new engine shots..its nothing to "ooh" and "ahh" at. its an ls/vtec thats kinda cluttered. it put down 170 on the dyno

good to see somebody not give up after seeing their baby, pride and joy, taken and stripped. big time props for bringing it back better than it was before it was stolen. damn nice car.
