I know I've posted revealing pictures before, but nobody said anything. :-\

So after all the stupid ---- I've done to hondas, and all the good stuff I've done, I wanted to go full out balls to the wall everything I wanted from the ground up. During a trip to Ca. I found a guy who sold me a jdm front clip sitting in his driveway for $300. My wife works for an airline and we get 90% off shipping, so all in all it was about $400 for the complete clip. I wasn't thinking about doing RHD, but after the realization that this car could take up to 67 years to finish, and having a 400hp civic ain't ----, so I had to go off the deep end.
For the extra $400 in parts and my own labor, the car should hold value well out here in the land of dull white people, and I can say I did it.
The point of this whole car is for me to do every last bit of everything on it. So far, the TC crew/WI-FI crew
(HMT- Wisconsin Forced Induction) has helped out alot, and the only part to date that I won't be able to say I did is the valve cover. Jung4g powdercoated it for me. 8)

I figure I'm about $2500 from having a complete, rolling car in finished condition. Then I can send it to a storage unit to start building the motor. :'( (the costly part) I HAVE decided that my original idea of 2039230880 horsepowerz just isn't going to ever be finished, so I'm toning it down to 400-450, maybe a little nitrous for kicks, and maybe a little sound system. All the suspension is going to be cleaned, painted, and all new bushings installed this week. LSD Mike is working on some brake parts (to go with the v6 legend mastr cyl. and brake booster. :o :6). I'm contemplating stealth grey metallic or shadow grey metallic from the new pontiac grand prix, and as great as the stealth grey name is, I think the shadow grey is better. I'll have to go to the dealership to decide.

Other than that, the two wheel styles I'm looking at are:

or

so there's my life story.

Both rims would look good, I'm partial to the SSR's though.

So when is the real deadline for this beast :P

There is no timeline. Before this week, I hadn't touched the car in about 2 months. It's a slow process, and I'm convinced that the longer it takes, the better it will be, so I don't sweat it.
