looks good all squeaky clean. should try the clay bar sometime. time consuming but well worth it. and im jealous. everything i want to do to mine exterior wise you have and im looking forward to getting mine done. oem spoiler, black housing headlights, and hood bra. looks sexy.
yeah man i definitely should lol. well you got the side markers which i still need to get. next things i'm trying to get exterior wise are mud gaurds and window visors.

Your car makes me wanna keep mine, its clean!!!... But not sure yet, i rather sell it and get 73 VW beetle, nice car man...
thanks man! =)

same here, i always wanted a 6th gen but the money situation led me to the 5th gen, and now i love it. same thing with amber corners, fogs, hood bra, etc.

it sucks hard man! hopefully i can source a swap soon. i can get a full b18 swap with everything for 1800 picked up, so i might settle with that, but also in negotiation for a b18c1 for 1400 full swap too. will update when i know of something

found a b16 swap with motor and hydro tranny, new racing clutch, vision performance chipped ecu, and harness and all, for 1400. all i need to get is shifter linkage and one of the shafts, which i'm sure i could get for 150 bucks tops. so really, 1500 or so for a full b16 swap =) im 90% buying this.

just been chipping away at the motor here. replaced the dizzy cap, ac belt, ps belt, alt belt, and ac idler pulley and hardware. pulled off the valve cover and the motor is clean as a mofo, which is always good, and it has a honda oil filter on it which is nice to see too. still gotta find a shifter linkage for it, and 1 spark plug wire, then im good to go.

pics? sounds like your making some good progress.
okay so BIG UPDATE =) today i got the d out, with everything along with it. put the b16 and lsd tranny together, installed the chipped ecu, and got the motor into my car, currently its sitting on the mounts but no axles, shifter, or anything else on it. heres a quick pic i snapped with the blackberry :lol:



also removed the ac and compressor and all, i got windows, i'll be fine aha
