Default K20 EK Hatch Build 100+ pics!!

Some of you may have seen this on another site, but I thought I'd post it here as well. Things are coming together really well, but I wish I could speed things up..

I'll start by thanking some of my friends thats helped me out with the project, Will, Parker and Laura at Hybrid Racing, Kyle my bud, EJ, my girl Hannah for letting me spend more time with the car than I do with her. A little about this car,
I bought the car back in August 05, pre Hurricane Katrina. The car was pretty screwed up in the front, the previous owner had rear-ended a truck. So, I found it sitting in the front yard and drove it home with 130k miles for $1800.

Exceptional work. One question: why a black roof?

You should be extremely proud of this man. Super clean car.
