Default UPDATE: MY ONGOING EK BUILD (from the ground up)

UPDATE!

[car started as a bare frame of metal]

What was once a bare 2000 CX unibody is now up and running with only a few more things that need to be installed such as street legal tires, amber side markers, headlight/signal harness, wiper harness/motor, strut/sway bars, misc. interior plastic pieces/panels, gas door, etc. Other than that, I'm proud to share my car with you because of all the countless time and strong effort that has been invested into making it a complete running vehicle.


spankin fresh champ white paint job and already nailed a piece of red lumber while driving





Thanks for looking! I will update you as I finish...

Rob

Once I have some extra money I'll probably have the front bumper and lip re-sprayed... I just wanna finish it first then I'll look at what needs to be touched up...

it's been fun but also time consuming. all my time for the past 3 months has been on my car because we didn't always have parts we needed and would always need to wait for shipped parts to come in.
