so after many years of my 3rd gen being mainly a track car i have decided to call it quites and restore it and drive it like it was meant to be. i have owned this car since 99 and its the only Honda that i have bought and will never sell. (i have owned 22 Honda's)
so here are a few pics before i took it apart
made 550whp at Evans tuning in PA
ran a best of 10.81@132
and now it sits like this
here are some of the OEM parts for the resto from Vintage parts
OEM bulkhead. last one in Honda US inventory
OEM pass. rocker panel. last one in inventory. could not get the drivers side it was discontinued
85 crx si front lip. i bought the last 2 they had
brand new OEM carpet. also last one from vintage parts
I will update as i go along. i have some more stuff on order like front mud guards, and a bunch of odds and ends. i am still searching for an OEM rear foam wing.
i plan to install the bulkhead tomorrow. wish me luck. i will be drilling spot welds for hours

Nice 3G! Are you building it as a strip/track car, or simply a street sleeper?
Are those modified SE skirts? And where exactly did you buy those OEM parts?

thank u! yes they are integra SE skirts. it will be a street car but i will hit the track for fun runs. i work for a Honda dealer here in NY and they are directly from Honda. some of the parts are from the Vintage parts

here is what was done today
bulk head was removed. my friend jay (honda parts guy) drilled his ass off on spot welds for hours.
old one
next step will be to remove the cage and the dash. then i will be able to finish the wire tuck.
