This is my first project to do. It is a work in progress but I thought I would go ahead and start posting the progress of the car. I just want to make the car clean and fun to drive. Nothing fancy or rare parts or stuff like that.
This is what the car looked like when I first got it

It came with 17s when I bought the car but the rims looked rough and one was leaking air.

I just bought some 15s off ebay from discount tires and a buddy of mine painted them for me.

Here are just some general pictures of the car before the prep work and when I bought the car





Here are some pictures now of the prep work before it gets painted. The painter where my brother works is doing all the work for me. Right now he is doing all the body work and getting all the dents and dings out of the car.



That is the progress so far. I have my new headlights, fog lights, mirrors, and side corner lights in so I will post pictures of those later. Next week I am order my hood, spoiler, and front lip.

Drop it!!

GL on project!

 

looks like it'll be a good start. what are your plans for it as far as suspension, engine, etc.?

 

Engine is going to be a B16 turbocharged. As far as suspension GC with Koni and new LCAs, Sway bars, and some braces are the way it is looking so far. I don't know the exact condition of the suspension but that is where I am starting. The car is a 92 but seems to be in good condition.

I can't wait to see your car lowered

 

Tires look huge, waht size are they?

 

looks like 195/60R15 from the picture

 

I have no clue. I just bought some cheap one to drive for the time being until I get new rims and tires. I can't see the specs in the picture either.

 

the one close up clearly says 60/R15 and i think its 195.

 

Yeah I see it now in the lower left corner.

 

yep

x2

 

good luck with ur eg...

 

I got my foglights and vision corner lenses in yesterday. Here are some pictures of my new headlights for my eh.

I am going to do a retrofit with D2S hids in these.

Just some individual closer pictures.

Here are my smoked Vision corner lenses.

There are authentic as far as I can tell. They say vision in the lower corner of the lense.

Here are my fog lights. I am going to see if Don (the painter) can paint the covers to match my car so it doesn't stand out as much. That is the update so far. Thanks for the views and positive comments.

Hes doing it for his retro... I would of said the same thing, but seeing how hes not using a "plug n play" hid kit and is actraully doing it the right way... we should all at you. These headlights actually have lots of advantages over the OEM ones, one being that the len's are clear. To the OP, keep up the good work.

I bought a carbon fiber spoiler yesterday. It is from ebay so I don't know how it really will look when it gets here. Here is a stock picture from the auction and I will take a real picture when it comes in this week. If anyone has a picture or one of these let me know how they really look.

 

ohhh my.

 

good luck on the build man!
