----------INTRODUCTION----------

Well, my name is Andrew. i'm 20 years old and a maintenance tech. for Nationwide Realty Management. i like imports, beer, music, and kickin' it. i don't have a ton of money to throw at my cars, not do i want to dump $15k into this car. but it'll be a fun project until i can buy something more worthwhile.

i picked this up off a trade for a busted EH2 with a rebuilt title that i had. all-in-all, i think i got the better end of the deal. annndddd i'm not too huge into the looks of a hatch (call me crazy, i know).

but i'm all for criticism, so comments are very welcome! and i'm always looking to hang out with new Honda guys and girls and maybe learn a thing or two.. so feel free to make an attempt to get to know me and we'll go have a ricer meet somewhere.

the day i picked the EG8 up. needs a core support, hood, trunk, oem headlights & amber corners, and some various body work.. but aalllloootttt cleaner than my old eh2.




then it went into the "paintbooth".. aka my garage, with a 6 pack, and a walmart bag of rattle cans.



and finally, on day 2 -- the "finished" product
