need a little help here. i was planning on going with the 98' front end with itr lip. but then i started to feel like it's really getting played out. and your always seeing jdm front ends. but rarely do you see 97' itr front ends. i love the look of the 98' and like the look of the 97' itr, and i want my car to be a little diff. what do ya think?

Its always awesome to see somebody take a car under their wing and make it something nice. By the way I think that you should go with what you think looks best. Every possible combination has been done on these cars.

I do not envy you AT ALL. Hope ure ready for a very expensive project. But you'll be happy when it's done.

Keep it up!

danthemang3 · 10-03-2008, 06:10 PM

PatrickGSR94 · 10-03-2008, 08:10 PM

The question is, is the frame straight???

Also I would suggest hard rubber bushings instead of poly, and stock upper control arms (not adjustable ones). Just some thoughts.

danthemang3 · 10-03-2008, 08:27 PM

yeah the frame is straight actually. if it wasn't the seam sealer and some paint would be cracked in some places. it looks good just the l/r quarter panel is going to have to be replaced. somebody replaced it before and did a horrible job.

danthemang3 · 10-05-2008, 02:50 PM

THE LORD OF CHAOS · 10-05-2008, 08:31 PM

good progress, i know from experience how much work this is--i am in the middle of my own build as well. keep up the good work.

khmers0uljah · 10-05-2008, 08:40 PM

Damn thats a lot of work. Good luck with the build

danthemang3 · 10-06-2008, 04:26 PM

well some small updates for ya

found some more rusty parts

got them painted

decided to keep the abs, so i got some of the o-rings to fix the leaks

old o-ring

well this is where the door hinge is supposed to bolt onto. the old owner for some reason got rid of the nuts on three of the four spots.

got one cut out to weld new nuts on. all the new bolts just arrived from honda also.

PatrickGSR94 · 10-06-2008, 04:30 PM

dang, I need to cut a hole in my frame rail near that same area (where you cut out the door hinge) to fix my water leak.

Circusraven · 10-06-2008, 04:36 PM

Mannnnnnnn, I'm so happy I live where cars don't rust!

danthemang3 · 10-06-2008, 04:38 PM

it's just surface rust. came off in about 2min.

Ziprock · 10-06-2008, 06:52 PM

slowly coming together. i love seeing tegs in worse shape than mine getting built up. gives me hope heh

berb_15 · 10-07-2008, 07:01 PM

were the bolt holes for those hinges stripped or something??

danthemang3 · 10-07-2008, 07:44 PM

well after today ends up on the one the nuts on the inside were gone. on another one they were completely stripped. and the other two look like i can clean them up with a tap.
