Project Mugen DC2R Complete Restoration
For about 2 years now i been day dreaming about restoring an ITR, so i started buying new parts here and there putting it aside until i find an ITR. Some odd reason i can find all kind of rare stuff but never had any luck in finding an ITR shell until now 
found an 98 ITR bare shell for $500. My plan is to restore every piece with new oem honda and mugen parts 
trash the 4lug suspension right away
just wanted to see how it look
here's my plan for this project in this order:
* soda blast all the paint off
* fix the actual metal instead using body fillers to cover up
* paint the whole car in and out
* paint all parts front and back
* do all the wiring and lines etc
* motor
* interior
* all outside window trims
am i missing anything or doing anything out of order? any suggestions or idea? or tips?
thanks
