Well I bought this car from a friend of mine last year (hybridtuner) and started my quest to build a K powered, JDM front end Teg! My friend started this project after he totaled his civic back in 2002. He started the project with the JDM front end conversion and then painted the inside, engine bay, and bottom of the car. I ended up buying the car from him last year and put it in the body shop to have the outside painted. I have since bought a JDM K20 for it and a few other goodies! Hope you enjoy! Feedback welcome.

Here is what the front end came in!
God bless those JDM crates! =)
H Motors Online hooked it up with a very quality front clip. Steve is the man. Excellent products and service.
Here is the car getting stripped.
There was some damage damage to the pass side fender well.
Hybridtuner removed the damage when the radiator support was removed.
Here is a pic of the replacement part.
Removed the sound deadening in the tire well and under the back seats.
Inside all wet sanded.
Here are some pics of the paint.
Everything was primed with Nason 2K primer. 3 coats on the spare tire well and back seat area. 2 coats on the firewall, door and hatch opening. Everything else got only one coat as the rest in not real sensitive areas.
After all the primer was done it was wet sanded smooth then sealed.
After everything was sealed the inside got a good coat of Championship White!:silly:
Inside is all painted =)
