Default just wanted to post a few pics of my ride that i brought back to life.....

just wanted to post some pics of my ride from start to just about finish. i did all the work myself, bodywork, paint, repainted it stock green cause the previous owner washed this car with a freaking brick. bought all new interior and it feels great, my buddy put all that in while i did some other stuff on the exterior, cutting carpet is very difficult to get right.has taken me about 3 months working on it a few hours a day a couple days a week, i wasnt getting paid to work on it so i just did it when i felt like it cause most of the time i had other customers, but im glad its finally almost done. still have a few things that need to go on. need to put my c/f front lip, c/f new hood, under tail light pieces. grill. moldings and such but i did something a little different with those parts than normal. just thought id share my project, its still not done but im pretty happy with it. car has a gsr swap with basic bolt ons, fun to drive, i have most of a turbo kit, will prolly boost it cause i miss having a boosted honda. anyhow heres some pics from beginning to now. i will post some complete pictures up when all the parts are installed and my buddy who is a great photographer has a real photoshoot with my car. thanks..


when i bought the car, it looks pretty much like this everywhere.



after all the bodywork was done...



brought it home from the booth but was raining so decided to put the interior in.



new seats..

exactly what i was going for, i love it. my last set of wheels were gold on my integra which was glacier blue.it definitely contrasted neatly, i think the same on this car.

thanks, the interior is very comfy, fairly new seats, new plastics, new carpet, feels like a whole new car.only bad thing about the wheels is they rubbed so i had to roll the fenders and rear panels,. that kinda sucked.
