so heres how it used to look like about 2 years ago...

I'm gonna skip all the other stages of how stripped the car has been and go to now =) heres the car and a bunch of parts going on it =)

This was some of the undercarriage before I cleared it

after clear...whole undercarriage has the same treatment =)

only problem =( found a good aluminum welder local...been ripping this thing apart...replaced alot but its all good..could be worse!

Bunch of parts!

it only took a year and half to find the color I wanted for this car.....

Wellll got some oem goodies from my buddy keenan at acura last week =)

and got the motor striped down more and on the engine stand....super happy because that crack doesn't continue into the block =) so the motor would be fine if I ran it as is but just to be safe I'm having it welded up =)

Getting more motivated! getting shit done =)

Yep...Running custom stainless hardlines for the brakes...tucked proportioning valve and so on and well as a custom fuel set up. Also having my buddy chase make me a tucked engine harness..with milspec connector to the firewall...one connection for the whole engine harness.

Car is going to look new...everything has been replaced. :beer:

thanks for the love guys!
