Hi Guys,

Check out what I've been keeping in the garage during the winter time. Was fixing the body and took me and a buddy pretty much the whole summer season fixing the body last year but I didn't want to drive it during winter. But I'll be ridin' wit it soon. I'll see you all at the meets. It's the first time I'm joining proabably by June.

Let me know what you guys think, let me know what else I can add to this project.

Thats a lot of work. Credit is due to all the time you must have put into it.

The re-occuring theme you will hear from 75% of the boys here will be:
1) Get rid of that ugly wing.
2) Altezzas are not good looking.
3) You back bumper is huge (ie - holy wheel well batman)
4) What is that on your roof? lol

To me it kinda looks like a skyline. I really like your front end a lot. The whole car kinda of overdone for my taste but to all their own.

I personally thinks its another horrendous F&F creation but to each his own. I hope you have some BIG wheels to fill out those massive fenders and at least a turbo underneath the hood to move it.

Are those 91-93 accord headlights?

Since you asked what we think, I agree with the above. It's just too overdone for my tastes.

If you're looking for something else to do to it, I'd recommend filling out the wheel wells like people have said, and fill the space between the bumper and the hood.

Like the front and the sides. Don't like wing and whats below rear bumper,seems like its angled back a bit. Get some bigger wheels. But aces John for doing it yourself and if you love it then bird to everyone else..

Yeah, I'm looking at getting 17's by this summer from IKON. Gunmetal w/ chrome lip. And the front headlights are from Eagle Eyes 91-94 Accord Projectors.

How much customizing to get the lights to fit>?

Also, trust me 17's wont do it, i almost went with 19's cause the 18's i was still a little sketchy about.
But holding off on rims for a while

18's will fill it up just fine here is a look at mine... 19's will give you not much rubber and with my 18's and the 225 40 18 its close to rubbing ( about 1/2 3/4 inch ) in the front but I do have a body kit so its different dementions...my rims are +42 offset

Took me half a day to install the headlights. It's a little complicated but if your willing to invest time without the fear of making mistakes it can be done. Never done any headlight conversions before this. I just wanted projectors but unfortunately no shops sell anything for 1g talon's/eclipses. So I had to go to great lengths. So far I only have enough to afford 17's with tire but I really want 18's and yeah....to fill those huge wells of mine.

I just looked at the pics again, and while the car still doesn't do it for me, I just love that blue you used. Beautiful colour.

Well what went into it. I mean how did you get them to fit in? Never done nor even researched this.
Dont get how they fit? You have to cut anything out to make them fit, change something around?
Just curious!@

I like everything until that back bumper, that is from the drifter kit right?

I would have chose a different back bumper something that fits tighter to the body, and I would have gone with a fiberglass wing if not oem wing something like a low profile subaru style wing.

But that is a fantastic job I really like that blue and the headlights look mint (is that a honda body kit front bumper as well?) I like that hood to ( I would make a functional depressed air scoop on mine). The roof scoop even though does nothing still looks good IMO.

Would love to see it with some new rims.

I forgot I have a 93 Mitsu Mirage LS Coupe 1.5L SOHC(summit/colt)mint, just replaced the Std tranny, cluch, T-belt, air box removal, bearings, alterna, ect, been trying to sell it for $2800, but I still want to put a turbo on it if its still around at the end of summer, and I was wondering if you had some colt turbo suggestions.

thanks
