So after a bit of searching and blagging my bud into driving me to look at some stuff I found a nice, tidy EK. After permanent ear damage from his stripped out CRX with an HKS exhaust the 9 was a joy to drive home.
I've parked it right next to the living room window so I can covert it from the comfort of my chair.



Every time I've parked it I've had to take a second look. It's the T.I.T.S!

Any who, Pictures!!!





First up is to sort the drivers door as it's had a bad paint job, there wasn't any sign of an accident so I wasn't too concerned about it. It sucks that it's pretty obvious.
There is the smallest amount of rust starting in the inner arches that need treating it won't be any trouble as long as I get at it straight away.

Everything else is really nice. More photos to come.

Whoop Whoop!!!

Best of luck with it bud.
Is it just the door that's mismatched or the front wing to? Can't tell if it's shadow or not.
 
Yeah that is a pretty obvious colour difference, still... EK9 FTW!
 
It may be the light. The wing & bonnet look the same. Once the door has been sorted it might show any differences more.
 
Nice 9 bud, at least its relatively small things needing sorted and nothing major...good luck with it :)
 
As soon as the weather improves my plan is overhaul the whole car and get it mint. I'm already toying with having the whole car resprayed. Also checked the VIN and discovered that it's an RX car. Explains the power fold mirrors, alloy pedals and rear window tints. Winner!
 
So here's a couple more photos. Sadly I've had to leave the car behind to go back to work. I can't wait till Friday to get home and do some driving.

What plans do you have for her then dude?

First job is to pull the rear trim out and rust treat the arches. It's only a little surface rust but if I get to it now then it won't be an issue later.

Drivers door need painting or a new door. I'm not sure how difficult it is to match C/W?

Nice set of AD08r's. I'll leave the standard wheels on, they look pretty good.

DC2 air box with cold feed and filter.

Spoon N1 or Style exhaust, de-cat and a 4-1 hedder.

Front bumper needs sanding and painting to remove stone chips.

Upgrade rotors, pads & brake fluid for track day fun :)) oh and master cylinder stopper.

Big alloy radiator possibly.
