Couple of photos. Still gots a longs way to go. Bumpers and lights have been removed since these photos. Rear bumper had been pushed in on passenger side, but shock had taken all the force - no damage to frame.

Originally my Jacquemond kit was scheduled to arrive this month, but he now offers complete front fenders. They are expensive, but it means that there is less cutting, bonding etc that needs to be done. ETA for the kit is now end of September.

I received my 97 Integra HVAC system and controls - now I've got to figure out how to plumb and wire it if it is even possible

Nice platform, not much rust or damage, door stickers present .... a Jacquemond kit is going to look stunning. No sunroof either :-)

Which one of the Jacquemond kits did you order??? How much was it including shipping to the US???

You can PM me about the details and prices...I haven't checked their website lately but I know their stuff is expensive but unique....Someone is the US should wake up and offer similar body products at more affordable prices....After all, the US is the place with most 928s still in existance and a good marketing base.

What are the plans for this base shell before you assemble the kit?

I plan on getting the base stripped and primed, inside and out in anticipation of the kit. Any wayward holes, rustspots etc will ne taken care of. Engine comes out next weekend - I've done all the "under car" steps and just have a few fittings to remove before pulling it. I am also going to refinish the engine compartment. I will replace with a 32 v.

Wiring harnesses are coming out as is the fuse panel. I am going to check and clean all wires/connections, and I have a more modern, blade style fuse panel on its way, so I'll have to reconfigure where necessary.

Upgrade suspension, bushings, rebuild torque tube, tranny, etc

Essenttially, everything is coming off the car and being refurbed or replaced

Kit is the Clockwork Orange, though I'm keeping the pop-up headlights. Color is to be determined, but maybe a deep blue metallic

Base kit lists for about $5,800. I am also getting the rear wing and roof spoiler with brake light - that's about $1,600. To get the full front fenders vs. the flares adds another $1,500 or so

Then add install costs, bodywork costs, painting costs, new wheels, tires, etc...

It all adds up.
