Crappy cell pic ... it's a 2000 Honda Civic HX with 221K miles. Nothing wrong with it runs smooooth and quiet. Its a damn monster truck right now, in the process of ordering some Tokico blues and Tein STech springs for it.
This will be my daily go getter, our Mustang I have been driving is annoying me and I'm tired of putting the amount of gas I have to.
Also in the process of ordering all the body panels I need for my green one, body prep should be finished by next weekend, this weekend i will be "busy" drinking to much lol

Got a few more holes to fill and than of course switch from grinding to sanding, body filler and some primer to come!
Anyone wanting to do this on your own my advice .... get a SMALL die grinder along with a normal grinder ... i'm using my 4 & 4.5" grinder everywhere. But a small die grinder with like a 2" head would have been wonderful lol.

Single shot of the GSR motor on the stand, had a few other shots of it but it was SOOO bright that day i couldn't see the preview on the LCD of the camera and i just looked at them and most were WAY to bright to salvage .. oh well it needs to be cleaned up still too.
Anyone who has broken a CV joint knows it can get messy ... on top of breaking a few (they were all used i was broke and living at my dads at the time) and going down my dads 200 yard limestone driveway the engine bay to a beating with dirt.
nothing a little gas powered pressure washer at 2600 PSI couldn't take care of.
and a shot of a little corner damage that was on the car when i originally bought it YEARS ago ... just now actually caring enough to fix it!
More to come as we progress with the body work. We are purchasing new guns for primer and paint this weekend and some other odds and ends we need for body work. We have everything already but its sorta dated and we want to get updated lol.

Mods:
B18C1 full swap (enigne & tranny)

Type-R Timing Belt
Type-R Valves
Omni Dual Valve Springs
Omni Titanium Retainers
Skunk2 Pro Intake Manifold

What it looked like after i cleaned it and changed from some black painted stock wheels. It was a simple car, lowered with a B18A1 swap and your basic bolt ons.
What it looks like after a weekend in my garage.
I got a full GSR swap that was BONE stock for a steal of a price that is on the engine stand now ( ill try and get pics of it later ) that will be going in after some metal cleaning and repainting of the chassis.
Hope you like it as much as i have
