I've had this car maybe nine months or so. My painter has had it for maybe three of those months and has stripped it down and has done body work and is about to respray the car.

This is the latest picture I have of the car; 11/28/14

Day One!

I will keep the car period correct and as clean as possible.

Welcome fellow RHD'er! I saw your thread over on Legacy BBS. I love the older model year pics and info I get over there but, it seemed too slow to do posts and get some timely responses? :(

Cant wait to see where it goes! I'll be looking at all aspects for info and help in the future on my 93! :P

Hey man, thanks! Yeah, that forum is super slow moving. The car will be painted by the end of the year, then I need to pull the motor so the bay can get shaved and sprayed as well. Super pumped!

I have been searching high and low for JDM interior pieces, but have had almost no luck :(

Nice. Very jealous about getting paintwork done. I've just been dragging my feet with my 99 and now I've got the 93 too! :( Post pics as often as you gettem!

I've had really good luck with eBay UK. New Zealand still has a lot of these cars running around and is a good source too.

I haven't really looked on there honestly. I just check our eBay here and some random forums from NZ, although I haven't actually bought anything from the forums yet.

Wow...that turned out nice. From the pic it looks like the same exact shade as our interiors!

Thanks!!

Here is a photo of the dyed and assembled door card. I am still not happy with the results, so my quest for interior upholstery continues!
