the low-budget dd build thread! updated 11/9
Ok, ill start from the begining. I was rockin a 93 civic hatch, ls swapped, full coilovers, slips, tucked, just started body work... when one day on the way home from work... BAM!... smashed from the back while turning into my buddys drivway... totalling the hatch.I thought I was getting a teg for sure from the insurance money... this was october 12th...
To this day I have yet to see a penny... and its not looking like I'm gonna. The kid that hit me lied... and its not looking good for me.. I'm fighting. So me being out a car, and missing a bunch of work due to being in the hospital... happened to fall during a mass layoff at my work... no money. No job. No car.
I posted up a wtb add on a local forum about me needing a crapass civic shell... nothing. Started to panic. My hatch still being in storage where it was towed to... slowly gaining in price, was up to 460 as of oct.28th... I couldn't take any parts off to sell and make money.
Got a txt asking if I still needed a shell. 94 acura integra ls, auto. 300. Looked pretty rough in pics. Decided to check it out the next day. Got my last $500 check in the mail. Next day, went to look at said integra. Looked beat. But I needed it. Told the guy 250. He took it. The deal was he'd get it to me, and he would take care of any tow fee. This was nov.6th, bout 9pm the tow truck showed up with the car, I signed papers, and was asked to pay the $135 tow fee.... called the seller, no answer. My buddy coughed up the 135 for me. The teg was dropped off.
Nov 7th, I was gone... all day, came back just before dark, givin me just enough light to yellow the high beams, and wash the bish up. Here's pics as of last night...
Turned out to be in better shape than I thought. Started to like it a lil more.
