    Project Bodega Beige

    so i will start with pics from the time my car was stock till now

    August 2007

    2 months after i bought it, bone stock at the valley forge meet



    October 2007

    bought a Monster CF Hood from a member



    December 2007

    Bought JDM Power Folding mirrors, Eclipse 17" GT wheels & Tires and Custom Projector Headlights and CF Eye Lids from Eric
    also did the fineless mod for the USDM Grille

    Megan Racing 32 way adjustable, bought them used and missing one due to an accident and bought a replacement directly from Megan Raci



    before


    after


    headlights and eye lids







    those are all the dates that i remember for now so the next few pics are in order but i dont remember exactly when i got them

    EGR Visor install and OEM Spoiler test fit





    2nd Gen JDM Tail lights





    bought turbo parts in February 2008 and ran out of money lol

    April 2008

    Installing Intercooler, 2 way paging alarm, and spoiler (Thanks to Kyle, Gary and Albert for the help)













    June 2008

    A lady driving a cadillac SUV ran a stop ran a stop sign and i T-Boned her and damaged my bumper, headlights, eye lids, hood and grille






    insurance gave me enough money to buy JDM parts, i alread have previously purchased the JDM headlights so i bought the new style VR4 bumper and Grille but no fogs and i bought the rear VRG bumper as well and a stock hood from the junk yard temporarily

    fixed the rad support and put a USDM Grille that i had extra and the hood that i bought from the junk yard until my JDM parts arrived and put those on












    did the JDM headlights relay so i can have the low and high beams both stay on when high beam is activated






    few months later i got the jdm fog lights, evo cf hood, swapped the front bumper with alex aka djakay who had a black one and also traded the grille with matt aka egocrusher and bought a rear vr4 bumper to replace the vrg bumper with old style rear extensions and got the aspire tail lights

    jdm fogs


    rear vr4 bumper




    evo cf hood





    aspire tail lights

    stripped the engine bay cleaned the rust the best i can and sprayed it with epoxy primer and then flat black paint then installed everything back in














    the end of last year towards the end of the fall semester i decided to work on it again, moved it to my friends shop in hope to work on it there but it was hectic so i took it to a friends garage and worked on it there, didnt get much done just installed a new steering rack and the missing leather seat and leather door panels







    also acquired few parts to be installed hopefully before MOD 2012









    and got these in the works right now






    and my ugly engine bay that rusted from the car sitting and from the high levels of humidity in the area that i live in, even suspension components are rusty now






    and this is after an hour of scrubbing and cleaning the outside since it sat under a tree for months


    since that pic i installed a new started and redid my valve cover in wrinkle black but thats it for now

    the plan is to tackle the suspension next week and the engine bay

    things to be installed:
    inner and outer tie rods
    wheel hubs
    softer coilover springs
    sway bar links
    brembo brakes

    and of course clean up the engine bay really good and powder coat everything that is rusty and ugly

    As money permits basically. I've had the Turbo stuff since like 2008 but life is life and car can wait.

    For now the plan is to redo the suspension and install my motegi wheels and brembos, clean the engine bay and powder coat everything that needs it. And if I could paint the JDM bumpers and skirts to match. Sucks I can't afford a paint job at this time. I'm hoping to have this done by MOD which is about two months from now.

    I forgot to add that I have also bought a sonata head and hardware for the swap. Still missing few things like cam gears and few things.

    Eagle 7 bolt rods

    Manley pistons for evo head with a 2.4 block.

    Evo intake manifold.

    Hks 280/280 cams.

    And I have a spare block to build outside of the car without having down time.

    Old pic but that's all I have for now




    Used but got a good deal. Guy said his engine blew up cuz it leaked oil so there is sign of oil starvation.



    I don't have pics of the head of the cams or manifold but ill get pics soon.

    Progress is slow but it will pick up in about two weeks cuz I will have more time to get it all done before mod. Crossing my fingers.

    I want to wrap some parts in CF down the line. I need a garage for all that though. Hopefully this time next year....

    I always wanted to experiment. Now I have access to a garage maybe I can look into it when I have some free time. See where to get the supplies and watch some videos.

    Finished the brembo swap and replaced the broken shifter cable, I will never use bolts to hold the cable in place ever again!!!!

    She's at the shop getting an alignment tomorrow.

    Tomorrow we will spray the bumpers, the grille, side skirts and extensions. Primer, base ABS clear before the end of the day. We shall find out how well that's gonna work out lol.
