Nope just a micropolish to clean up the journals, figured its out might as well clean it up

I was really considering black but body work isn't reaallllyyy my thing lol I have the usual honda cancer rust on the rear quarter (its starting to bubble) and the hatch itself has rust under the center plate. I wanna fix the quarter but id have to get it done. What's weird is im a badass painter but I can't sand a panel smooth to save my life lol.

Possible colors:
Nighthawk black pearl
Championship white
Midnight purple
Burgundy
or leave it SI blue

Thanks! Im gonna get it done so its done right im proud of it being built not bought
gonna work on the looks more once its back on the road. Thinkin wink mirror, tint, hood risers, and an Integra rear brake conversion. Get those rear disks instead of the drums im rockin now lol

 

[French-Frye]

Llil update cause I forgot to put this in the original parts list
ASR Subframe connectors btw if you didn't get this so far id like to run it in autocross so the suspension is def getting the most $$$ lol nothin cheap there
estimated over $9K in this build so far not including the motor swap and the car itself

 

[Dominick]

Electron Blue Pearl!!! Can't go wrong with that color. Car looks really cool man. In foe' this

 

[French-Frye]

Ok so dilemma I sent my crank out to be poilshed but the shop wants to have it turned. I don't wanna remove material. There's only like 2 lil wear marks on it barely enough to catch your nail on so anyone have input on if I should just polish it and hope it comes out or get a new crank and bearings all together
