It sounds like the main relay..Now that you have the updated pics up it doesnt look that bad..
If it was my car I would 1st grind all that bondo out and get some stock moldings back on there..Then find some stock interior pieces and get rid of all that red..I dont really care for a huge stereo like that in our cars so I would get rid of that and put a stock back seat in there or maybe even get one from an integra,,And I notice it already has del sol seats,,
..Then focus on the motor like you said and do the mini-me vtec head swap or b-series swap..And I would get rid of those hood pins and put back on the hood latch to the front support,,,Then like you said your getting some full coilovers so your good there..Then I would either re-paint it the stock white or just spray it flat black and get some nice wheels for it..00 si wheels seem to fit those cars nice or even some 90-91 crx si wheels..And the most important thing is get good security because living in NJ you know how they are..
Besides some little things its a good solid project..Good luck..
But what was your brother thinking when he attempted to shave those moldings like that??

i guess he just wanted to do it the easiest and cheapest way......i figured thats how you would do it cuz i didnt know any better.....im good at motor work and not body work so i didnt know....but motor wise im doin the mini me first then maybe the GSR....suspension wise yea that coilover set is coming soon i hope....ummm inteiror wise the del sol seats are crap so i have to buy new seats too....but the backseat brackets are ripped completely out so back seats are out of the question unless i weld the brackets back to the bottom of the car...im thinkin bout puttin it on some 99 si wheels and lowering it like 2 inches.....then after that i want to tint the windows and get everything back to stock...get a paint job...well at least flat black and using it as a beater.... after i get bored with the mini me im gonna put the GSR or Ls/Vtec in it considering i already ahve the block and head and run it like that....the last project iw orked on was a turbo Ls/Vtec in an EF....thats why when my older bro said he wanted it gone i took it...so yea this car will be saved and thanx for talkin me into not shaving the moldings
....ill make sure this weekend i start to grind everything out

ok so ive decided to put in a new relay.....does anywhere know where i can get one?
....keep the ideas coming

You don't need a new one, just fix the solder on the old one. Take it out and pop it out of the case and you will clearly see the bad soldering if it is in fact broken. Just heat it up with an iron or drop a fresh bead on there. If you don't have a soldering iron, it's a lot cheaper than a relay and you can use it for a lot of other things.
yea i pulled out all the redness in the interior last night....im either stripping the red off or just getting new stuff
....im lookin for an integra center console....anyone know where i could find/get one....
back to the top i go!

Dude all of the stuff you need you can get at your local junkyard for next to nothing.
