Default Just some pics of my W.I.P. '96 Hatch

When i got my car my plan was to start with the engine but i went to a dodger game and the front end was smashed so i just started with the body instead. So far i have put a '00 Si front end on (but i have a spoon CF hood to put on just gonna wait till i panit it and i also have some CTR lights to put on just waiting for city lights and paint) i also have a Spoon wing in the last pic and i got a sunroof put it (but im gonna try to put an oem one in before i paint my car. Inside i put Integra rear seats, an EX armrest, Si CD player and i changed all the dash lights to amber to match. I'm getting some ls wheels next week. With engine work and suspension on the way.

Nice clean car, good luck with all the work. I'm very curious though, did the integra rear seats fit right in or did you need some modification? My cousin still has the back seats from his teg to match the fronts i picked up from him and i'd love to put em in my car.

Thanks for the seat pics. Ouch, that gap would **** me off even while i was driving the car and looking at the road. Have some more foam stuffed in them or something when they reupholster. Put some foam or something underneath the back of the seat to close that gap with the seatbacks. Friend of mine stuffed extra foam into an SI seat to make the bolsters stick out more, came out pretty sweet.
