Hello CRXcommunity.com, I'm BannisteR and here is my project car.
I picked her up December of 07 as a stripped shell. The shell was in great shape, no body rot or rust and had paperwork. Hasn't been registered stateside yet. She had doors, dash, carpet, hatch and haggard suspension. Picked up a set of HX wheels to roll her onto the tailor to get home and roll around in the garage. I'm currently stationed in VA and the car is in Cali safe in the garage. I will be getting hot and heavy into the build up of her very shortly as ill be bringing her out to VA so I will have ample time to work on it.
Most current state as of September '10:

$455.04 from Majestic Honda isn't too bad of a total for my order :)b
Turns out they guy that was supposed to meet up with my roommate to pick up the block didnt answer his phone. He called him later that night to say his phone was on vibrate... Hoping my roommate will be able to meet up again to get the damn thing... Kind of loosing hope in this one :(

Well I'll be registering it in VA first so it will be hopefully be easier to get it CA registered once I get stationed back there. Keeping the color to myself for now, in a way still debating on what color to paint but 95% sure on the coloR :wink:

Great news! My Father just picked up my B18C5 short block for me, much better shape than the other I was looking at :)b

Yes VA has some terrible roads, Harrisonburg isn't too far from Lynchburg, I purchased my ITR out there, pretty nice looking area compared to Norfolk area.

I know the door panels should be the ones with the gray felt instead of the fabric ones I have in there, cant find them in decent condition or for a good price or I'd have them in the car. Car was stripped down to almost nothing when I got here but had the motor in when I looked at her. Cant run a DOHC ZC legally even though it is the stock motor for that car. Stateside the ZC came in 89 and older Integras so the motor is "older" than the chassis its going in... All the dumb rules and regs for BAR. :hammer:

Thank you :-)b

great progress the type r is crazy and ur crx already looks great! :bounce:
Thank you very much!

I just ordered a reconditioned 90-91 rear bumper from the same place dmlemus ordered his at (Thank you for the info :wink: ) Also placed an order from here : http://www.qube-engineering.com/Purchase/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2 for my AP1 cluster, figured the AP1 cluster swap needed to stand out from the rest. I picked up the White/red led setup for it, I wanted to do the multicolor with yellow from 7-8k amber from 8-9 but I think It may be too much going on so I chose the white. That's about it for now, thanks for looking. :)b
