As if it wasnt enough that some kids vandalized my Acura Integra back in march i have had a run of bad luck and then some....In may i was in a car accident with the Mercury Grand Marquis i had been using as a daily driver. The accident totaled off the mercury and left me quite sore for a few weeks...Wound up having to rush my Integra back into service with a new starter install and finish cleaning up the mess the vandals left it in. I still have to go back through the interior with some cleaners and armorall but at least the car is usable as it is now. I just recently redid the front brakes on the integra which was a lil over $500 when all said and done. And that job isnt quite finished so the teg is going back to the shop in aug to finish that. Just after the accident i purchased a 1981 Dodge Ram Custom SE for $500 only to have its brakes go out as well first day i had it. Oh well that was ment to be a project either way so that didnt phase me much. So for most of june and a good chunk of this month i have been using the Interceptor to commute with. Now that the teg is back operational i can start gathering parts to do the brakes on the Ram and get that operational as well...anyways..enough yappin and onto the pics lol

Heres where i am with the Integra now. I wound up replacing the drivers door with one from a black GSR model Integra since the original had a dent in it as well. The GSR door does have some rust but its a lot easier to deal with then the dent that is in the original door. At the same time it does give me an idea as to how black and the stock grey look together.

I sold my wifes car 2 weeks ago. 1 week later some guy in his mid/late 70's decided to try to blast across the street in front of me. Well, he didn't hit it hard enough. Here's my 95 civic. I've still got some bruises, but I'm healing.

Ok I can't tell what they did to the interior? Did they empty a vacuum cleaner bag in there or something????

They busted the drivers window and unloaded a fire extinguisher into it.
