some of my repair/build (no way 56k)

this has been on other forums for a few months and I realised that I didnt put it up on here yet so here it is
here is the car before

then some old lady that got confused decided to try and drive over my car

so i take it to a friend to get that fixed and fix the rust/dents,shave some things,cut in side markers and clean up the damn thing.. it is getting painted SilverStoneMetalic like the S2000 and NSX

we had fun trying to get the new hatch from a 96-98 Sir to fit... first off it came with factory tinted glass that when I picked it up at the terminal .. the tinted glass was shattered all over the place.. now I have clear glass again(real pissed off) the latching system is completely different on the two cars.. so we had to make some mods

I cant decide on which grill to go with.. I have the Si grill ( no longer with "Honda" in it ) and a Euro Grill with the Big H

thanks everyone I have had this car for a while and it feels good to have it looking good... I just need to get all of the go fast stuff done and lower it in the front ... it is coming along ... I think I am going to put the Euro Grill on this weekend

 

[thisisoriginal]

Dont but the euro grill on, haha..I hate them. Dang, you're in Akron, thats not to far from Mentor. 45 minutes..

 

[Inertial]

[ImportFan1]

Nice progress man. I really like that color.

Bump for another OH member.

I agree that the Si/R grill looks best ... but everyone and their brother has one on their car... I have never seen a real Euro grill in the States on anyones car and I have done several things on this car to be different and stand out ... .. thanks .. I need to cover the door panels with the black tweed also to match the seats..

nice progress. i love that colour. car looks stunning

 

[xzodiackillerx]

its silver stone metalic.. but we put more base down and used a slightly darker primer than what was called for so it looks darker by like a shade . but the flake looks deeper
