UPDATE PAGE 3



I picked up a shell a few days ago. I'm still waiting on a swap, hopefully it won't take too long to get. The car has the optional sideskirts, sir front end, rsx seats and a jdm type r cluster. Here's my progress so far. I will update as I do more.

This is how I got it:

Started buffing the hood out, and buffed and painted the passenger headlight:

For some reason I just realized that the JDM front is indeed the way to go. What are your plans for the motor?

[AV8ter]

Front end looks clean from the pics. That is one helluva nice starting point you've got yourself there.

[Captain-Obvious™]

My plans are to throw an LS in it for now. I'll get a couple of interior pics up here in a little while.

[Genji-Sama]

Nice to see you back in a teg. Always loved that white jdm front one you used to have. :goodjob:

Still gotta wire in a couple of plugs, but it won't be that bad.

[mr.koupe]

Lookin good man. Makes me miss my old teg

[1moreaccord]

wow! Did not expect to see such a clean shell!

Good build man, and major reps for doin the dirty work yourself - ppl talk big when they haven't done their own grunt work. Feels sooo much better to see what your own hands have done lol, g/l with build!

butt connectors suck, they always break apart.. even the really good ones; solder & heatshrink FTW

[Captain-Obvious™]

Yeah, I know. But if they eventually break they'll be easy to get to anyway. I'm just trying to get this shit on the road for now.

haha im jk man clean teg thoe absolutly love the jdm front gl with it

[Captain-Obvious™]

UPDATE

Finally got the car running and road worthy. I'm waiting on my exhaust to get here and then I should be good to go on daily driving it. I've made a few test spins to QT and stuff like that and everything seems fine.

I painted my VC yesterday because it looked like garbage when I got it.

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/mrhan44/SDC11172.jpg




I also picked up a set of all red tail lights for cheap. Went ahead and threw those on:

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/mrhan44/SDC11168.jpg




Traded the RSX seats for Integra seats and cash. I hated those damn RSX seats. Too big and IMO uncomfortable.

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/mrhan44/SDC11169.jpg




And now just a couple shots of the car:

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/mrhan44/SDC11166.jpg





Still gotta buff the car out real good. If my exhaust gets here before Import Alliance I'll be heading over there and finishing the paint probably Friday.

I also need sleeves for the springs on this car. Dude I bought it from just left it on coilovers with no sleeves at all. That's why it's retarded slammed. So if anyone has sleeves LMK I need them bad.

[Sneezin]

yes sir,, B E Autiful..nice build,,,more pics!!! i cant wait to get back to the states so i can sell my 94 gsr and start build my 01 gsr

[AV8ter]

[CRXdelsol]

[Captain-Obvious™]

[Mmmm_Bacon]

[Genji-Sama]

My only complaint is those wheels, i know they're all OEM fresh and semi-rare, but i just can't stand them, but other than that super clean :goodjob: You pulled this all together pretty quick to have just started w/ a shell

[Captain-Obvious™]

They're not fresh. They're dirty as fuck and curbed like a beast. And they aren't really rare at all.

I only have them because they came on the car when I bought it.

[tintmank20]

looking good,,,I almost want a front end swap... damnit

[Captain-Obvious™]

Picked up some sleeves today to lift the car up. I'm so sick of the slammed game. Car rides like a dream now.

I can't wait to show it to you. Those things really work. It's a lot different than last time you saw it.

[Genji-Sama]

Oh, :goodjob: so what wheels choice are you gonna go with?

[lanning]

I can't wait to show it to you. Those things really work. It's a lot different than last time you saw it.
:like:

[Captain-Obvious™]

Oh, :goodjob: so what wheels choice are you gonna go with?

Haven't decided.

My plan is to just wait on a deal to pop up that catches my interest. But wheels are low priority right now.

I got my heart set on a couple other things before I get wheels.

[Captain-Obvious™]

Did a little buffing today. Arm's a little sore. But it came out pretty good.

Can't. I absolutely hate those humongous holes under it.

[Captain-Obvious™]

Plus it pulls attention away from the paint chips on the bumper lulz..

[firby911]

Looks a ton better after fixing the paint man.

[1sickdc2]

[Captain-Obvious™]

I went down to the dungeon because I was late, and parked one spot away from another car that looked just like mine. But I didn't go back to my car until I left at 4 or so.

[oneSLOWex]

[Captain-Obvious™]
