i didn't have any money after i wrecked my integra (b/c settlement paid the car off) so i had to save a lil and bought this shell off my friend for a good price and started collecting parts/mods... but now that it's goin and i have more time to put it together i'm pretty motivated to get it done within the next few days... as far as the engine swap, i'm swappin an "LS"
