Default 91 Civic Si Current and Plans

This is my 1991 Civic Si, few mods, Racelands, Blox Rear LCAs, Unknown Intake, nothing really noteworthy. Otherwise just been cleaning the car up, the front ennd was pretty bad, both fenders crunched and hood was pretty dented.
Just been keeping the motor clean, still has a stock d16a6. The Odometer reads 528,XXX :D
Next Plans, Rear disc swap, possibly boost? Torn between getting a JDM b16 or building the D16 for boost.
This is my first car, and I'm still learning, just turned 20. Since I've gotten the car I have replaced the alternator, both radiator fans, O2 sensor, lots of spliced/broken wires, valve cover gasket and grommets, window track, driver door lock cylinder and door handle and the rods for the door. Replaced both of the fenders and working on a hood now, installed side markers, VR6 VW lip, no name fog lights, and some other random minor things. Been a very long learning experience for me since I got the car.
Heres some pics

My hood was crinkled in the front, which is hidden by the hood bra, and it is warped along the sides, guessing previous owner had rear ended a truck or someones tow bar.
Sanded down a hood I got from the junk, bondoed some spots



Also painted the underside of the hood since it was originally blue.

They racelands arent bad, but I wouldn't have gotten them a second time. The washer to keep the strut from over extending through the chassis has a tendency to "bend". Also they say they are made for the EF, but really its for the EG chassis. I had to get EG front forks and use the rear LCA bolts from the stock suspension since the supplied ones were too big. The springs are also 3" I think instead of the 2.5" that EF uses, so sometimes the spring rubs on part of the UCA? depending on the amount of camber you have.

IMO I would have saved up for something else, my buddy had them on his miata and they were working out really well, guess its just a hit and a miss for them.

Went to pick n pull today and got a new headlight for the passenger side and a tailight for the driver side, also got rear speaker covers and what I think is the OEM shift boot.
This is my front end as it sits


The old headlight, cracked and leaking



And the new headlight


Pics of the rear speaker covers, I know they aren't the OEM honda ones.


Pics of the shiftboot


Some pics of the seats I have, unknown manufacturer, probably not honda seats


Pic of the bay, nothing special


Old Tailight


New non cracked tailight

those seats are from a da sedan, kind of rare if you ask me. has your bay been painted? some wd40 and some soft brushes would do wonders for it
