So heres my new project. Something I am very interested in getting to look sicker and sicker as time goes on.

I got the car September 19th from an older gentleman that had 4 kids and had no use for the car anymore. I picked it up for $1150 with a newer motor (same motor though) It has 170k on the chassis and 89k on the motor (stock dualpoint) I've been looking for a super clean EF for a while and I looked at a few, none of them caught my attention. I found this one about 1.5 hours away. He was very honest with me and told me everything that was wrong with it beforehand. So I figured with that in mind, there was nothing else to hide and I got it. Here's how it was when I brought it home (uncensored)





So when I went to go lower it, the LCA bolt head broke off. Then it was being a pain in the *** so it kinda forced me to buy new LCAs. Here's while waiting on LCAs to come, how it sat.



Suspension:





So today, I decided it was enough of the dirtyness and it was time to seriously clean the outside. I washed, buffed, polished, rewashed, and then waxed the outside. I attempted to paint my bumper black again with trim paint but I was very tired and didn't succeed so thats for another day. I just painted the bottom part, I DESPERATELY need to side the trim along the sides, they look like **** from the buffing. Here's her current state and during the process.

Before buffed:



During:







After:











Sorry for the shitty pictures of the afterwards, I will get real pictures when I get my camera back from my friend.

:EDIT: I forgot to mention, i've put $110 total into parts for this car. I think I'm doing good.

LMK what yall think. /

good start, nice stance

 

Very nice stance! Looks a lot better after the buff, too!

 

looks like a good start, so far so good

 

Dude spend 35 bucks get two cans of SEM bumper paint (black) redo your moldings and bumper and take more pics

 

^^ that would be a good idea other than that it looks good.

 

That **** looks nice slamed I always liked how efs look slam to the ground...

I already have the paint. It's getting done tomorrow fully, but I painted some of it, you can see some of the paint already on the bumper in some pics.



My car is NOT slammed. The rear does need to be lower though IMO. Springs SUCK!
