I approve this thread due to the use of Rust Oleum.

I give you a ton of respect for tackling a project this big. You're doing a bang-up job so far.

Also, you'll love that seat- I have the same one in my Prelude.

thx i appreciate it nice prelude btw . i drove it around the block and the seat was amazing never felt more comfy and secure in this thing lol, half the time when i was drifting i would either be slammed aginst the door or halfway on my center consol

Damn smokey, you are really working your ass off on this! It's like building a brand new mustang in your back yard.

Whats up with those rear speaker cutouts though? I hope you put a really tidy and low key sound system in this.

the 3 holes in the middle are factory, the middle one being the factory rear speaker (yes one speaker) and the two outer ones are some very shitty 6x9 cutouts some shitty stereo shop did. the only thing shes gonna get is a nice set of interior speakers and maybe a pair of 10's.
yea this is my first restoration and im giving it my all !!! weather I work on it all day on my only day off (2 jobs 6 days a week) or an hour or two while I still have some light after work

Top notch work, kind of glad the car was wrecked, it really needed the new panels. This thing is so awesome so far.
