I bought this car cheap. 600. It's a 1995 si. Hindsight I probably paid to much. Most interior missing, no exhaust, no rear bumper, no a/c,no power steering pump, ect. So I went junkyard hunting and bought all the interior, ( except for carpet) bumpers, fenders, a/c, and a Manual rack.

I would like to finish the mechanical and interior and then work on the body and paint. It's stock now and will probably stay that way for a while. Eventually possible turbo or gsr swap. I already have a gsr head and crank. For body and paint I'm debating factory red or possibly a light blue or maybe a wrap. Ppg will be about $1000 just for the chemicals.

Here is how it looks now with junkyard fenders and bumpers and I have wet sanded most of the car down to its factory base coat.

You know I have also been considering wrap, when done right its considerably cheaper than a full paint job and they look good. Just requires proper prep as a paint job.

Got the rears on. Set camber with a bubble gauge and checked toe with string so as not to wear out tires before I do the front and get it to the alignment shop.
