Well I picked it up for 800, running but in need of some love. Interior was trashed, engine bay was just sad to look at.

How it was when I brought her home.



Yuck.


Bastard hit me in the parking lot! Maybe insurance money will pay for the new paint.




Before the battle begins(The stare down)





Getting tucked.






And doing body work



Made up this harness


Deep clean on the interior


Found this guy flying around the shop


Updates to come. Tell me what you think.

 

Cleaned it out pretty good.

good work man... are you painting the car black?

 

Yes. Car will be painted black. Today I'm getting the front end back on and aligned, should be ready for primer in the next couple of days. This is my first attempt at paint. haha wish me luck!

 

nice!! planning to do the same to my car(wire tuck,paint, and ls/vtec). seeing yours makes me wanna go strip it already haha

 

same here...

 

nice so far so good..

 

nice work...wish you would have saved that bg33p it looks better than black to me, but good luck

 

NNNOOOOOOoooooooooo............

black will be a PITA to keep the swirls out of it and keep it looking good. IMHO BG-33P is such a nice and unique color. If you did the 98+ front and rear in BG-33P it would be even more unique.

 

looking good

 

just wondering you shaved the antenna why not the emblems? Looks good just was curious.

 

Co-sign this post. Speaking of, my black teg almost demands that I wax it with at least 1 coat EVERYTIME i wash it. Even when i do wash and triple coat wax it, it takes about 8 hrs of sitting at work to collect a complete coat of dust.

 

Well prior to my DC5 I owned a Granada black pearl GSR. I loved it. I know the work it takes, but it's just gorgeous. And as for the antenna. I'll have Sirius radio so I just shaved it messing around actually. And the emblems, I want to put Honda emblems on it. I think it kinda looks goofy with no emblems. And to the people that like BG-33P. Yeah I do know it's unique and more rare, but I think it's an awful color. Just my opinion, no hard feelings.

 

Even if you manage to get ALL the swirls out of a black car (which really takes some serious skill), it's like... if you even touch it - instant swirls. Almost anything that touches the car short of the ultra-softest of soft sheepskin wash mitts and microfiber towels will put swirls in it. Well that goes for any car, but it's so much more noticeable on a black car.

 

True. I've been thinking about other colors. Definetly not teal though. I maybe Championship white, or Horizon Grey Metallic. Or maybe Premium White Pearl to match my DC5.

 

id go with championship white or premium white pearl.

 

what a steal at 800 bones. I love you. Another teg saved.

 

I'll go look around my shop this weekend I think I have a rear mount that is still good laying around.

 

Great work... all you need now is a bird cage in it!

 

Thank you very much but a buddy of mine hooked me up. And on a new note! PR3 head to be purchased soon!!!

 

clean *** interior, just needed some love.

Recognize these Jim?



On a side note, certi-fit sux *****. Took me a long time to get these to line up right.





How she sat as of last night.


And my now neglected Teg being filthy.
