Been working on this for over a year now, i originally bought it with a blown motor and some suspension goodies.
I sold the suspension and bought some g/c coilover sleeves and adjustable agx's, but I messed these up trying to lower the perches so I bought some second hand evo 8 bc coilovers and adapted them to fit.
I also went through some wheels, i started with fd's then some american racing steelies from a jeep, rolled my arched and dropped the car but hated the honda camber, so i decided to get some fender flares, i know they are kinda the "in" thing at the moment but on these older cars the look is timeless in my opinion.
But then i found some more wheels this time some american eagle 054 series wheels. Which needed wider flares.
As for the motor i found a motor from a 4g63 converted avenger and bought in on the sellers word that it runs and threw on a big 16g and some 650's ,fmic, walbro, afpr etc etc, Imade a exhaust and planned on running a burnt chip with a maft for the blow by feature.
But after replacing every sensor and seal(for boost leaks) i couldn't stop it running rich at wot. I am now waiting for a ostrich and sensors to be delivered and thats pretty much where I am up to i have missed out a few things including the amount of times i have given up and tried to sell it LOL. Heres some pics and I will update my progress as it goes.

I like it you don't see many 1g dsm lowered in my area.
 
Thanks its low but not stupidly low i can still get up my driveway on a angle LOL.
The wheels are 15s so if i ever went with a smaller tyre then my exhaust would suffer for sure.
 
Started fixing some rust on the roof (what a pain)
And I'm doubtful that my car will be drivable any time soon, the tracking of my ostrich and speed density stuff says it will arrive on the 28th and my wife is getting induced on the 29th LOL Canada post isbrutal.
 
Got rid of some rust and gave roof a quick rattle can job to get her through winter.
Also everything came for the ostrich piggy back. After looking at the hacking required and the quality of the pigtails i have decided to buy the harness.

Got lots of phantom knock which we believe its because i have a leaky injector seal.

I have a good set of fenders for the spring and will need a new hood but i got sick of rusty/bad looking front end so i gave it a quick cheap spray bomb.

Sooo back to the build I had some time on it yesterday and did a ghetto alignment with some cement blocks, string and a tape measure the fronts were out by a lot.
Then installed a 3 point solenoid which i am currently figuring out.

So glad i chose a hks bov that sound is addicting heres a clip.
