    Default Gotti Customs build thread V.2.0

    Well, since i had my CRX ive really wanted to do a FULL build of a car. nothing to fancy, not really into the drag world right now, but im only 20 lol. i just want a reliable car that looks good from the floor pans up.

    i really wanted to build my CRX, but i got such a good offer on it, i had to sell it. so after this guy was pretty serious into getting my lude, i started looking, and after driving 300 miles, and breaking a 06 f-150, i have my 1995 Acura GSR shell.






    i mainly picked it up for the straight body, and the leather interior that is almost perfect. plus i got the full ac/ power steering, and all with the car.

    here are my plans:
    Strip the engine bay
    Integra RS MC, and brake booster, also RS lines, thus eliminating ABS.
    Do a full wire tuck for the motor + dash harness.
    i want to shave the bay, but doubt ill have the patience for that.
    repaint the car interior, bay, all jambs.
    98+ bumpers

    i have alot of work in store ahead of me. im also building a ls/vtec n/a for now to hold me off. i know its not boost, and its in a heavy ass chassi, but i just want something to say i built. and when my tax returns comes in im gonna look to boost.

    anyway thoughts, comments, dicussion.

    didnt do to much, worked on some more body work for about 30 -45 minutes, chipped away at that sound deading, still got about 2 more pieces to go. and got the dash wiring harness finished. oh it was kinda windy today so i pushed her into the garage.



    ^nothing but the plugs for the fuse box, gauge cluster, dimmer, hazzard, and radio.

    i put the interior in so i could make sure i painted enough and no red will show through, i think it looks good, debating on leaving it flat, or clearing it. not the cleanest job i couldnt get any dry ice and so there are alot of little chips and stuff from the factory sound deading. i might go get some undercoating or something and spray it, then spray white over that, i havnt decided. might just leave it like this so i can finish the car. gonna try and jamb it all tomorrow.

    thanks bro, now its just cleaning everything up the way i want it, and get the motor finished, all i lack internally are bearings, valves springs and retainers, which i should have all together first of next week!

    but unfourtunally since cold weather is here, today was probally the last day i could have painted the car, and it has been raining all weekend, so i didnt want to risk humidity. so ill probally end up laying down coat of like white primer just to get it all semi one color, and so i wont have to use as much white when i paint it next spring.


    maybe first of the year it will be driveable with just paint to do.
