Well, I picked this car up last fall before school started for me. I got a good deal on it, and the only problem was it had 222,XXX miles on it :/ . To graduate from the High Schools in Oregon, you have to complete a "senior project" that you have to invest 20 hours into. I decided to paint and repair the body work on the car lol. Heres some pics of the lil' beast 
(I had no idea why the bumper wasn't the same color as the rest of the car like ALL si's are post to be...)
(I thought the sideways liscence plate was cool, until I realized it was hiding a hole in the bumper cover where a trailer hitch went through
)
Well, a few days before I had all of the money to start the project, I got in a wreck
...I had summer tires on the car and we got a s**t LOAD of snow. It riped off the whole front bumper and crushed the right fender. I don't really have any good pics of the wreck, but this is what I got...
So, I set the project back one month, and worked a little bit more to pay for 3M panel bonder and some more bondo, studs, sandpaper etc lol. As you can see, heres the bumper and the fender after I fixed them...
I found at least one dent on EVERY Panel of the car
Now let the painting begin!
And the Finished product
(Check out the blue pearl in this pic! I put a s**t load of blue pearl in the clear coat
)
As of right now, the car is on the black steelies you can kinda see in the first pics of it. And it has a red stripe going through the center of the body molding. There was just way too much white on the car. I'll take and post a few pics of it when the weather clears up so you can see all of the pearl in the paint. The next steps for the car is a new windshield, a set of amber JDM corner lights (both r broken on my car), some racing seats (I have blue prelude seats that look like crap in the black/red si interior!) and a new moonroof glass because the one it has is cracked as well. I would like to get some Red Rota GT3's for it or some Red Konig ReTracks...either 15's or 16's. This summer before I leave Klamath Falls for OSU in Corvallis, I want to do a motor build. Either a D16 rebuild with mini swap, or a JDM B16A. It needs someting...the car eats its oil like a fat kid eats its cupcakes lol. I will go for the route that will be the most bang for the buck lol.
