Default Not baller enough crx '10..

What's up guys/dolls, this is my first build thread but definitely not my first project.

Alright, over the summer I got sick of my Eg and traded for this 89 crx si, I rocked it stock for a few months then threw some suspension on, nothing serious. Well, on halloween my timing belt snapped on the way to work. After driving a buddy's car for a month or so, I finally had monies to pick up a beater.

Now I get to work, the car is already stripped and these are my plans:

I got the road racing bug this past summer so I wanna do it up so I can track it as I please.
Not race car status or anything though.

Plans(these will be done by spring):

Ls/V, most likely just a stock setup, maybe some p30's if i can find a deal.
PIC selects
painted bay
mild tuck

Anyways, this is how it was when i first got it:










Interior out and started on the sound deadning:



Motor out and bay partially stripped/sanded






Updates soon! I encourage feedback, it's what keeps me going.
