Headlights, Rear Interior, and some Rice

 My Dad installed almost all of the window seals while I was at work. I helped install the outer seal for the drivers side door and my Dad took care of the rest.
 Almost all brand new seals/molding from Honda.
 We converted these windows to power window units from a 88-91 4 door civic just like on my last car. Again, Dad did the install while I was at work.
 Another shot of the power windows and some of the trim.
 Testing the passenger side power windows during the install.
 My Dad also worked on cleaning up and installing the headlights. Unfortunately, the driver side headlight is gone.
 Here's a better shot of the black ugliness of the headlight. It also shows the trunk release cable that I installed.
 It was a family project to do the headliner. I picked this material up a long time ago thinking I would do this. Mom, Dad, and I managed to get it glued onto the headliner pretty well.
 Here's a shot of how it looks on the interior of the car. It's pretty much rice but I think it looks awesome.
 I also installed most of the rear interior the other day.

Here's how it looks currently. Almost there. It's starting to look like a real car again!

Installed Tailgate, Taillights, and Rear Bumper

 The taillights that originally came with this car were all broken except for the middle piece which is from a 90-91 Crx. So I picked up the left piece while at Pick N Pull and got the Right side when I went to pick up the dash from the person I bought this car from.
 Purchased these new from Honda online.

Here are a couple of pictures of how the rear end looks with it all installed. Trust me when I say the pictures do not do it justice. You can also see my oil squirter plugs in the bottom right of the last picture.

 My Dad also installed the wiper motor and wiper motor cover.
 Also, installed the body wiring harness that controls tail lights, back up lights, e-brake, seatbelt, doors, rear speakers, etc. The trunk latch and gas door cables were also run.

Installed Gas Tank, Received New Alarm, and Semi installed Brakes

 Here is how the gas tank has sat for the past 5 months or so. We removed it from the car, covered all the holes with baggies.
 Then I washed it off. Attempted to clean what I could.
 Replaced the hose with a brand new one from Honda.
 Also, mocked up the 90-93 non abs brake booster and master cylinder, both purchased new from Winchester Auto, to get it off the floor of the garage.
 Dad installed the brake lines a while ago. Here's a picture of the 40/40 proportioning valve needed for the integra front and rear disc swap.
 Also, picked up a new alarm. 1 mile radius on this badboy. Also, picked up a battery backed up siren, mini piezo siren for in the car, and a tilt sensor. Still debating whether or not to run remote start. The last time we installed it I had a bunch of ignition problems.

 Here are a couple of pictures of the Stock Fuel Pump when I removed it from the tank. The stock fuel pump is HUGE compared to the little walbro 255LPH I'm going to be running.
Here's the new Walbro 255LPH I bought for my original car project but never got around to installing it. Needed to install it in this car in order to be able to safely run any boost at all.
