Default Wreckin-rex91's CRX build, boost and overhaul

So I started a build thread in the EF section almost 2 years ago when I purchased my CRX. I have kept up on it pretty well up to date and you can see the transformation at the thread link below:

The interior is not yet finished... Once I get the door panels repaired and one, I will take some more of the inside. I have the carpet and seats covered in plastic right now to keep it clean. I will see what I can find or take some new pics tonight.

Finally got her on the ground! Its amazing how different the car looks when its on the ground.... gotten so used to looking at it suspended 15" in the air for the last year. Sorry for the dark pics but when I get her out, I will have a proper photo shoot done.
