it was blue when i bought it i didnt take pictures of it when i got it..its an 88dx.. the first thing i did to it was paint it flat black and slapped on some no-name coilovers..the interior was in an o.k condition, i roccked the torn seats for a while and then went to the junkyard and picked up some DA seats
after i put the seats on i decided to paint it pepsi white and painted it in my back yard

so here comes the fun part! i got tired of having an automatic so i decide to swap it!
it wasnt easy because i had to go to the junkyard like 5-6 times a day to get all these little parts i needed..I bought a d16z6 for $200 from this tow truck driver, and he took the tranny apart for me and delivered it to me(it was an auto tranny, i didnt want it). My friend said his other friend from San Diego had an extra tranny laying around for $100..So i told him its SOLD! so he brought it from San Diego
