[QUOTE=lysis250;9368049]Another update:
Found most of the parts needed to fix this baby up. Still looking for a headlight and intake box so shoot me a PM if you have any of those things. Got the hood replaced temporarily waiting on my new hood hinges to come in to permanently put it on, and got the entire front end taken apart ready for the new stuff to go on. Here are some images.

Another update: I was with the car today in hopes to finally start reassembly, however as it turns out there's a couple more things that need to be adjusted here and there to reassure good alignment of the hood fenders and bumper which will be taken care of shortly. I did manage to buy a set of headlights for the car and an intake which is on the way as well. Here's to the good part I took it up and down the street today as well and the car is an absolute blast to drive, but the cheap Accelera tires that the previous owner put on suck with traction off lol.

Here is a picture of the car in its current state.

Can't believe it has been almost a month since my last update. The car is fixed and 99% ready for paint only thing left to do is sand the trunk and the finish sanding the bumpers. Can't really see in these pictures but all the fender, hood, and door gaps are perfect . The bad part is it will most likely be another month or so before I can get the thing on the road here are some pictures. Also picked up some LC818 for a decent price, and Project Mu lug nuts. Also got a lot of goodies from Xenon Depot but they messed up my order so waiting on the rest of the items to come in before I can assemble my headlights.

I paid $1350 for them which I personally think is a bit high, but they came with tires that have a decent amount of meat left on them and the rims themselves are in pretty good shape.

So it's been roughly 3 months since I got the car and I just got it painted. Over the course of the 3 months I've managed to get some things here and there, as previously stated got wheels, all the necessary camber arms for front and rear, also got the newer gen skid control unite for $80 on eBay and a Darkstar CAI, iJDMToy LED interior kit and I'm sure I am forgetting some things.
Here is a quick pic of the car painted that's all I have for now, but will have more tomorrow or Wednesday.
