Wow... that thing is beat! Looks like someone put a hatch/coupe bumper and lights on there without trying to mod the fenders too. Good luck with it!
 
is the ls going in there?


Yeah, the plans are LS with 14b turbo, running uberdata i believe. I bought an ECu from jon at www.phearable.com

The fenders were modded just very poorly i am going to have to smooth them and redo the work with fiberglass or sheetmetal, prolly sheetmetal.

I also had to raplace the trunk lod i will get pics up soon, anyone have or know where i could order a drivers side door with the glass i am keeping any eye open on ebay. I couldn't find any locally in yhe junk yards.
 
Hoooooooly Moooooooooly talk about starting from the bottom. Here is what I would do:

Step 1. Build a rotisserie.

Step 2. Use rotisserie. Set aside 2 months of after-work time to complete the body.

EDIT: By the way, how much do those Motegis weigh ?

Sheet metal man... build it right.
 
he passed up my sol for this.... lol but anyway.
4g's in canada is like $8 us, so its about worth it :D

j/p

we all see what it starts as.... let's see how it turns out....
 
progress?? [special ed]you got a tire mounted, yay!!!![/special ed]

If you still only have what you said your budget was....youre gonna need more money..
 
Here's some foward movement

$115 hood, $225 door, Integra LS front brakes installed waiting on rears and skunk2 coilovers installed, also.

The ready and waiting LS
 
Can't argue with tacky when cheap is a factor as well. When painted they will fit. Fiber glass is slightly easier than sheetmetal.

I need to get the hood to fit correctly. Civic brackets don't fit the sol and vice versa.

Plenty of stuff needs to look like a mess before it gets all cleaned up. At least i have a drivers side window now, before it was broken, no more need to cover it with a tarp. well the rain is staying out, but i am also letting the ugly out without a tarp.
 
Ideas on Paint?

I am thinking some scheme of Blue and white, or maybe a light blue to dark blue fade.

What about a spoiler? Obviously it would be purely athsetic. I am leaning toward some type of spoiler to"finish" the rear of the car.

What are your opinions?

paint it black.

Black is classic, but boring. Since i am painting the whole car I want people to know that it has been.
 
Orange with the 01 on the side again :)

And B: $2000 is closer to $1000 USD. The only currency that's more than the US dollar is (Well, the Euro, I guess) and the Pounds STerling, which is approximately twice the US dollar.
 
i like a copper color... paypal me 5 bucks for shipping on those corners. I would bring them up but it will cost me more in gas to get there.
