Default My eg after 6 months

I bought this thing in shambles in november after my hatch was stolen...i rebuilt it from the ground up with the help of a few friends. Gourley, ej6mike, ejsex, _HANS, boostedcoupe95, black4door1233 and some others on here really helped me out. And if youre gonna say its ugly...im aware. I focused more on having a nice interior and not making the car too flashy because thats why my old car was stolen. it has the armrest, optional audio console, razo shift ****, candian sir cluster, ek seats with the extra ajusters..its a great dd. side note-dont give me any of that ITS NOT AN EG ITS AN EJ2...im aware and i could give a **** less.

I bought it like this, yeah pretty ugly. no brakes, no interior, no motor, mismatched panels



I threw some optional ek wheels on, skunk2 coilovers, dropped a y7 in it, threw on some em1 si front knuckles, got new drums, spray painted the door red and started driving it (this is about february) still pretty ugly



gourley headed up to my house one day, we compounded the whole car, sanded down the door and fender that were spray painted, detailed the outside+I picked up some new wheels



And now...i needed some tires real quick, ended up with some 55s instead of 50s and i had to riase it up a little. oh well it happens









and one of my old car cause i [freak]ing miss it

I liked the hatch, saw it in person a couple days before it was taken

I've seen the progress on the coupe since you bought it, and I think it looks wayyyy better than some stuff on here, especially with the little bit of DIY's and everything you've done to it in the time you've had it. I think this is an excellent example of dedication, even after having a car stolen. I still wont drive my DA down into Baltimore to work because of that reason...

Keep it up man, I know you want to get a hatch again, but how much longer do you plan on keeping this thing?? Any more work you plan on doing??
