Default I-vt Project

Everyday I look out my window I see a sorry excuse of a crx looking at me. Its beginning to annoy me now. So decided to take things into my own hands (Of course help will be needed from you guys as I have little or no experience doing anything [:I] lol) I will be doing everything to make this look tasty without going overboard. Engine wise, I will leave to someone who knows what they are doing. So I will be only doing cosmetic.

Plans:
Strip the whole car down to its shell
Mugen Replica body kit with carbon spoiler
Remove the skunk2 exhaust and replace with original (help might be needed)
Reseal all windows
Restore leather seats
Remove sunroof and add metal in place of it
New shocks (D2's)
Carbon fibre bonnet
and then respray in champ white w/black or dark pearl blue w/black.

Alot of work for someone who hasnt ever done anything like this before but I think it will be worth it in the end

Also forgive me if progress is slow but I have no where to store the car so it all depends on the weather been dry etc.

Here is how it looks now


and hopefully afterwards like this


not as flasy mind you []

that looks like a wings west bodykit on the white one.

why put a piece of metal where the sunroof is?get a rust free sunroof if yours is rusted and leave it.

also take price into consideration and realise this will all take alot of time.

best of luck with it,will look brilliant when done.

Take the ek rims off and get something that suits(fat 5?). bump strips/skirts ect back to standard (black) get the rear the same height as the front and you will have a real nice car..
