Some of these things can be put aside others can be done in a day with very little money spent. Take the time and your teggy will thank you.

I've had mine for 2 years and haven't done too much but get thing like that done on my own, with no experience

my dad tells me im crazy for trying to put my integra back together after it was stolen april 09' its not that it sits unchanged rotting away in field for storage but the fact that no matter what happens i dont have the heart to let it go and just move on. to me, my DA is a representation of me and is a part of me something i can never get rid off money is always thing and its only gets worse when your trying to put it back together

Sup yo'
dang.. i wanna add a list lol
1. 12" spider-web design crack on my windshield right on the driver side.. so it's right in front of me whenever I drive.
2. 10" rip on my passenger seat right where people sit on..
3. I have a huge dent on my driver door that caves in..
4. my trunk, door handles, side mirrors, roof, spoiler, and rear bumper are turning pink.
5. my radiator support bar is bent.. so now my hood sticks up about half an inch when closed.
6. my muffler looks like it was on fire and now it's left with black left overs..
7. water gets into my head and tail lights whenever I wash the car or whenever it rains..
8. both of my windows rattle every time I go through a speed bump, dip, or when someone shuts the door.
9. I had 4 of my speakers blown from previous owner, i put in 2 new ones in the rear.. no sub/amp yet
10. my paint isn't original.. I have orange peels on some parts, and some other parts seem to not have a clear coat...
11. my rear seat on passenger side is broken, if the trunk cover wasn't there.. whoever was sitting there would fall backwards into my trunk.
12. I have NO A/C.. electrical line problems said the mechanic.. told me to go find a pro with electrical stuff for cars.
13. It's almost time to replace my clutch.
14. there's something wrong with my transmission.. it's hard to shift into 1st, 3rd, 5th, and reverse. kind of like something blocking each of them.. like I have to listen for 2 clicks before I know it's in gear.
15. all of the rubber trims around my windows, doors, windshields are falling/peeling off.
16. my antenna motor works but antenna won't go up even after wd-40..
17. the bolts around my valve cover/spark plug cover are broken.. not the bolts but like the thing you put the bolts onto..
18. water somehow gets into my trunk on rainy days.. not a little bit but like enough to go through the cover thing under the carpet, and then make a small puddle in my spare wheel well.
19. my parking/emergency brake doesn't work sometimes.. i'd pull it up and my car would roll still.
20. previous owner put a hole in my little tray in the dash.. cause he custom made his own AUX input for his cheap headunit.. that was the first thing i replaced lol it didn't even work.
21. my cup holders can't tuck in.. they stick out half an inch when pushed in to the max.

yeah.. i think i might have a few more.

Im bout to 1 up you i bought a 96 integra 2 months after i bought it (82,000 mi on it) someone hit and ran it in a parking lot crushing the drivers side fender as well as scratching the hood and bumper. 2 yrs passed found a whole new front end on CL installed 2 new fenders hood and bumper painted it. that next weekend someone keys my fender and door. Then a week after that i hit a tire scrap on 495 tearing out my splash guard and folding my fender underneath into the wheelwell and pulling it away from the bumper. i fixed it up and had the car for another 2 year gave it to my sis bought another one made it look nice then.... a plow hits itt out outside my house overnight and LEAVES.. totalled now im on my 3rd integra! but i love em its always worth the heart ache to have a nice car
