little bit about me,names john i live in the mountains of maryland.cant really say im new to the honda scene,i have owned two them but this is my first build.the first honda i had was a 93 teg gs-r.really wish i would have kept that car cause i now know how hard it is to find one for a good price and in good shape.o well **** happens i guess.i do believe that if credit is due i will pay it up.this build wouldnt happen if it wasnt for a family member helpin me out wit alot of stuff.u kno who u r dont let it swell that head to big.lol.but heres a couple pics jus to pass along.it is under construction so go easy on me.

this is when i picked it up.it had few things done.was told that it had a built gs-r but come to find it was no where near built plus smoked like a grille.


thats her now.still at the body shop should b home this weekend.(weather permitting)

 

Purty blue, going to leave mirrors/trim all black?

 

looks like vivid blue pearl like i have on my type S... did the jams get painted too and engine bay?

 

get this piece of **** outta here!....lol love the new color johnny

 

thanks,mirrors r spoon style and they r goin to b blue and black.some of the trim will b body color,door handles and side moldings r blue side skirts and lips will b black

 

pretty close to the samething i believe,this is monte carlo blue pearl.yea the jambs r blue and the trunk is also.the bay wasnt done cause im thinkin about doin a different color in there.mayb some kind of gray not to sure yet

 

its half ur fault i own this piece of ****,as u call it.lol.if u didnt turn out such bad *** builds i wouldnt have this honda bug.thanks for all the help.

 

this is the bay for now....it will get an overhaul one day

 

Engine bay looks sweet man what you workin with there?

 

that a gsr motor?

 

he said it was said to be a built gsr motor, but turned out to be nowhere near built and smokes like a grill.

You have something nice to start with, even if you just rebuild the engine you have with new internals. Rebuilding is cheaper than starting with nothing. I really like that darker blue. It looks like Harvard Blue, but metallic. I like it. The rims, the color, the stance. Just fix the motor, do a little suspension work and it will be a really nice car.

As for painting the bay, a friend had a sedan that was Harvard blue and he painted the bay a sort of light gray color. Do NOT do black. It looks dirty all the time.

 

op is a dumbass!

on another note, its now a freshly built ls/vtec. put together by me!

 

Motor looks clean *** hell,but what you need is some new motor mounts it will stand out more

 

i mayb b a dumbass but atleast i dont suffer from B.L.D. if u dont kno what that is jus take off ur shoe.hahahahaha.yes it was put together by him my mechanic.

 

thanks,never gave that a thought.might have to do that

 

would u happen to have a pick of ur friends sedan i would like to c how it looked.if he doesnt mind

 

good luck on ur build

 

I don't have any and don't know where it is on the internet. It was just OEM Harvard Blue and a light gray spraypaint. Its pretty easy to imagine. He had a K series and had the valve cover painted Harvard Blue and it looked really nice.

 

looking good john!!

 

clean!!............i wish i had a DOHC on my DX

 

Your off to a good start keep up the good work man.

 

thanks man

 

thanks mike,i want to c that em1 ur workin on
