Default New to the forum, Here's my hatch

Hey everyone!

My name is Austin, I'm from Springfield, Missouri.
Here is my current project, 94 cx hatch
I have quite a few things that need replaced, and/or repaired but i think its a good start.
The car has zero rust, very few dings, and is already swapped with a JDM D15b.
However, I can honestly say i expected a little more out of this engine after hearing the hype about it. But alas... It is still an N/A 1.5l 4 banger afterall.

Here are a few pictures, let me know what you think.

Yea, it bothers the **** out of me. I honestly don't like red on the hatch much. It will be repainted this spring.

Looks like a decent platform. Ditch the EP3 wheels, paint match the skirts, polish or swap the exhaust, fix the lip.
