rosengrant826 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) To start the story, I bought the car a few days before I turned 16. I paid 1200 bucks for it and it didn't run to hot, leaked oil like it was going out of style, was all roted out, and was all kinds of Rigged parts on it. This first set of photos were from the day I got it home. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/DSC00455.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/DSC00454.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/DSC00462.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/DSC00457.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/DSC00458.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/DSC00461.jpg From There Started The body work...All the rot was cut out and new metal was bent / welded in. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/26419950003_medium.jpghttp://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/26419950009_medium.jpghttp://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/26419950008_medium.jpghttp://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/26419950006_medium.jpg Edited October 14, 2011 by rosengrant826 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosengrant826 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Just a few random photos..http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/Picture022.jpghttp://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/Picture067.jpghttp://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/003-2.jpghttp://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk299/rosengrant826/Car/IMG_0917.jpgThen basically a driveable car was then torn apart for mpi. I had started to design, build, and collect all parts to do so. Made a custom intake, and had everything except a trigger wheel and wiring harness to build it. Well school got the best of me and I had to sell off just about everything for mpi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfressh Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Glad I never went through the "spray paint bits and pieces of your interior" phase. Interior looked better stock when you bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXEliteTuningXx Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Be careful if that is a eBay harness bar, I wouldn't run it on the road with it in. There was a thread on some honda forums a couple month ago, where the kids harness bar folded in half and he ended up going thru the windshield... just a fyi. Other than that you have a nice looking quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosengrant826 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hasn't really been any updates. Got all my gauges ( oil pressure, water temp, and boost ) Have my Innovate Wideband / turbo timmer. Went to turn the car over and found I had a fuel leak ( bad o-ring ) and my starter is well not doing much of anything. I still have a lot of little odds and ends things to button up on it.
