Default My Daily Driver 98 Accord CG5 - Everyone loves a project car thread right?

Well, I purchased this car from someone who purchased this car from an insurance company as a totaled car. I will just let the pics do all the talking. I do all my own work in my own garage.

I wish I took some pics when I first got the thing, these were taking after the majority of the bodywork was complete and the moldings were shaved. Car was hit in the front drivers side headlight area while it was parked on the street, both airbags were still intact.



























-----------------------------------

Spring Plans: Lower, Black house headlights, light tint on windows, JDM CD5 Sidemarkers, as well as some other minor mods.

Right now the car is sitting, I am waiting on my reconstructed title so I can drive it. The mods will start happening after I can drive the thing.

Thanks for looking

to be honest, i really dont think the car flows at all without the moldings, or the grill, or the color.

maybe it will pull it together when you do the rest

Everyone has their own opinions, oh well. I like it, everyone else that seen it likes it.
