Default A few shots of the Hatch

As some of you here in the A/C forum know, this has been about a 6 month project from its decent beginings to what it is now. Its a huge step for me to have finished the car and to get it on the road with very little bugs to be worked out. All in all i biult the car by hand from a bare unibody and all i really had to deal with were a couple coolant issues, a leaky steering fluid resivior and rubbing on my fender liners. This car has been a huge learning experience for me and i take great pride in knowing i have done everything on the car myslef, with some help from fellow members of SoHonda Garage. With that said ill share some pictures of the final product! I just snapped these pictures this afternoon, theyre unedited and not the greatest, hopefully the car will have a proper shoot sometime soon, im just glad to finally be able to drive it! but you get the idea

if you lost the wing and canards it would be a very nice super clean engine bay hatch

Took the words out of my mouth. Cracking looking bay but the spoiler and canards throw it off a little IMO.

thanks for the compliments guys.... honestly i knew alot of people wouldnt be diggin the aero parts right off the bat, but i wanted to try something different, and i really started this whole "theme" with the need for a more steady stance at high speeds, when braking from upwards of 100 mph the rear of the car got very unsteady, and i fell upon a great deal on the J's rear wing, and from there i decided to fab up the canards.... i love the apearance now, and from what i can tell so far the car is much more steady ( i haven gotten a chance to really push her because i havent gotten an alightnment yet and i dont want to kill my new tires) hopefully ill be doing an autocross event in the next week and an couple HPDE's this season. needless to say it will be a fun year

i think your car is the only hatch that wing can be pulled of in....your car has an overall feel to it compared to parts put together...well played
