Pretty damn good condition for a 1st gen man!

People seem to forget that 1st gen's in that condition, let alone ANY conditon are hard to find. Especially in ******* canada where even your ******* farts rust in the moist air!

first stop: http://www.redpepperracing.com

body work and paint come to mind

on the b16

suspension...my old hatchy used Tokico blues and GC rear sleeve coil overs. Its a rough ride but handles like a ******* champ!

you can strait swap over some 88-89 Integra seats. They are comfy and look good. They look simular to 88-91 Civic/CRX Si seats.
