I'll start this out with a time line I have tons of pics from the beginning to the end of my build. Its been through alot of work and I have spent alot of time getting it to where I want it to be. Enjoy.


Before I even got the car home I ripped the halo projector lights out and threw them into the river.












replaced the beat up parts with some crap certa fit parts for right now. the car gets painted so relax. haters. lol


also picked up BRAND NEW headlights from honda. I ball hard.... lol the not so baller side of me got a ebay lip. awful idea.



picked up a pair of 2000 si doors super clean to replace the dented door.
also got a ok camera and a better understanding on how to resize pics.




Had some rough body work done and purchased some fit rims, I sold the rims a week later.



This is how she sat for about two months, then this......










Haters. people were mad cause they knew what was coming. I was going to have a cleaner car, even with the way it looked at that moment.


Depending on if the thread gets any good and people enjoy it I'll continue to add pics and tell my story. Untill then what do you think ?

 

Ouch, looks like the first mod you need is an alarm/camera system.

 

lol I have one and it was parked right out front of my house, now I do not park on the street, lesson learned.

 

X2 lol wile you at get a sniper and some camo and hide in the dumpster .....nice work by the way wish i was balling to replace everything quick as u did

 

lol it took a while. My car is finished and it took me three years to get where im at, I just like, hopefully, giving inspiration for builds and show people that our cars, if done right cant be brought back to life.

 

So you're just slowly posting "updates" to a car that's finished already? Post the rest and we'll decide if it's good. I'm not exactly losing sleep over not being able to see the rest of your car to the finish.

 

They are not "updates" I clearly stated that I'm telling the story of my build/restore. I could honestly care less if you like my car cause unfortunately I did not build this car to your standards or likes, sorry bro.

But before anybody inadvertently mentions sleeping habbits I'll post a few more pics.

 

Woww I cant belive kids did that to your car, id be furious, but goodluck with your build.it looks like its coming along nicely

 

Too bad for the windows! Hope things will be better now.

 

Dang dude haters are rough in your area too. My wheels got taken off my car this summer. Luckily they were rota's haha. But ya looks like you have a decent start from the pics you've posted so far.

 

In for this. Post some more pics man!

 

Did you do the body work yourself? i have the same messed up panel behind the drivers door.

 

X3
Nice work broo

 

Please continue! Looking good so far except for the glass LOL.

 

i love stories like this. start a project. get pretty far into it. someone comes along and ruins everything. and then, just to show them, you come back even better than before. keep showing "updates". i'll loose sleep for this one. lol

 

it was going good before the smashed your windows.

 

GUYS!!!! Sorry about the delay, I started this thread in a different section and when I tried to update, it was moved to the appearence thred and I couldnt comment or update because of the probabtionary period! Lame. But im back and I'll have a few more pics up in the next couple minutes!

 

Ok so I left off with the windows getting smashed in, Haters couldnt stand that I loved my car even though it looked like ****. enjoy more pics!

took a trip to honda and bought some goodies. I DO NOT buy aftermarket **** for my car if they make OEM, I buy only OEM parts from honda. unless its wheels or radio, or egine parts.


amazing what you can fit in there lol







i didnt get the rear lip from honda, obviously, they dont make them anymore. Thanks to ICB motorsport, they are awesome.


came acros these on craiglist. guy had his old rims stolen in the winter, and the insurance company bought him new wheels, tires and then his car was totalled before he could install so I got them all Brand new tires still had the stickers lol for a steal!


Drove around for a bit with the new shoes on. also thats how it sat for about 5 months, I was laid off and was really tight on money. but everyone bounces back. i got all my body parts collected.



you know what happens next.

 

so some "haters" just randomly smashed your windows cuz of how much you love your car?

theres probably a lot more to the story, but whatever.

you sig is stupid.

cool ek

 

Sorry for you man, too bad to see people doing this.

But, anyway. Good luck with the build

 

Looks like tough build bud.. I am sure when it's done it will look badass..

 

bump for the effort to build it

 

 

looks like its headed towards the right direction

 

Theres not more to the story. I dont know who did it nor do I care.
Im glad you think my sig is stupid, I wrote it just for you. You mad bro?

Ah dont be sorry I moved on. thanks though.

Its done. its not a progress build its more of a story thread. ill be posting the rest of my pics later.


Thank you sir. I wasnt sure which way to go when I started but its definately paid off in the end.
