Said wheels and bracket.
The diffs off being welded so that'll be in soon along with new tires, the current ones on the front are dry rotted and the rears are way to large.

Bad times
Long story short the car ended up halfway off a cliff. Luckily it was stopped by a small tree before going all the way off. The damage includes dented sills, broken tailight, mildly damaged bumper and spoiler. Overall it wasnt as bad as it could've been but now Im gonna need side skirts or something to cover the damage.
Got the re-welded diff cleaned up and reinstalled.
Progress is slow as usual but there's more on the way.

Integra seats installed.



Cracks started forming on both sides in front of the shock towers. After further investigation the factory spot welds were being overstressed all around the A pillar. Some of the spot welds had bulging metal around them(as the metal was trying to pull away) a couple were cracked and it was generally bad.



Had to pull everything out so that I didnt light the car on fire. The HVAC is never going back in.





This is the B pillar but the image is sideways. There were very few spot welds on this panel so I fixed that.


Painted all the bare metal and put weather sealer over any part that may ever see water.

I only did the passenger section because I didn't want the car torn down and undrivable for a ridiculous amount of time. Eventually I'll do other parts of the chassis.

Still have a long way to go getting both sides perfectly smooth, but progress has happened.

Probably around 60% of a 7lb tub will go into the panels. It seems like alot but for what I'm going for, to blend the flare I needed to cover basically the entire panel. And one of the fenders was dented on the bottom so the entire underside of that fender had to be built.

Threads still going, just hasn't been much of interest to post. I'm in the process of making a spoiler but I'm still on the wall about whether or not to keep it, I'll wait till it's done to decide.

The SuperPro subframe bushing inserts made an impressive difference.
1997 sc400 differential which apparently has a different driveshaft bolt size than a 92. Note how one of the bolt patterns is slightly larger than the other.

Went to a 97 sc400 diff due to its 3.2 ratio.

Car looks dope. I recommend you buy a $150 electric pressure washer at Home Depot and clean that car. I have seen construction trucks with less sand and mud on them. I don't know how you can work on that car being that dirty.
