work on the looks. You have a motor that works, so the engine build can wait.
I want to get the car looking proper but nothing crazy till next season. I'm considering new wheels. Just having a hard time deciding what I want next.

I might go to the cupcake meet in Corpus which is a 2 hour drive next weekend, but I still have some maintenance to do. I have a coolant leaking issue which is due to a s***ty autozone cap, but I ordered an OEM cap to see if that would fix it. So I'm taking a gamble, but if that doesn't fix it I might resurface the spot where the cap and radiator meet. I also need to recharge my a/c because mine only blows kinda cold.
I went to the one in Arlington/Grand Prairie last year, and it was great. Too bad it's on the coast this year. Can't afford to drive that far. Oh, well. Hope you have fun.
P.s. sorry to jack the thread. Carry on

So happy I can pop my hood from inside the car lol.



I had to take the fender off since I was replacing the latch wire as well as the latch assy. itself.



Glade I have small hands. Fishing the new wire through the inner fender from under the dash is a b***h if you have big hands, likely impossible. I was not about to take the dash out just to change this lol.



New latch after install. I just had to play with the height of it to get the hood on close properly.

I love getting parts from the dealer. Pretty soon I'm going to start getting around to buying parts for the motor as well as the exterior . I'm hoping to grab a few things this weekend while I'm attending Honda day. I'm really pumped to put work into the car. I'm more motivated then I ever have been. And it's all because I sat in a CTR lol. I guess it help me realize that this is more then a hobby for me.

There a real popular wheel here in the northeast. I guess because a very well known shop/store(Vraceworks) for parts has a EM1 rocking them but his was plated in 24k gold. Ever since then everyone wanted a set. And they are one of the only dealers in the northeast for these wheels that I've heard of so far. But I wouldn't daily them much if I got a set.

Picked up a blown b16 short block for parts. I needed a few sensors brackets and the oil pan.
