I am getting redy to take body shop classes, If all goes as planned, I will be stripping the whole car completely, and giving it a fresh paint job. I think I might paint it misty beige metallic, like the factory paint it has now. What do you guys think ? I know the pic quality sucks, But from what you can see,
Do you think my car has potential, Or should I sell it and find one that is mint?
Oh yeah, dig the tint !

I thought I was still drunk looking at those pics + looks like your car is being poked by a stick :)
Sounds like your on the right track dude keep it up.

Considering you're missing pieces and the car isn't in that good of shape, I think it'd be a better idea to just find one that was mint. Heck, you could even find an SEi. Unless of course you're planning to become a dude who works at a bodyshop, then I could see the reasoning....

what it looks fine just missing though door gards can get them from the reocrs gota take them off any ways when you get the car painted.... i say keep her
she looks prity much mint other than the plastic gards missing......

It appears to have fared well externally. Like mentioned above, replace the rub strips (or perhaps shave them all together if you want more bodywork practice). I can't see any visible rust in the common troublespots (rear quarter panels and underneath the rear tail lights). It is FI, so you have a good start in the engine department. I'd say she's a keeper if the engine and transmission are in good condition. Just my $.02

It did have slight rust at the rear wheel well upper corners, near the bumper,
I sanded it and put some rust converter on it. The engine runs very good,
Compression test gave about 130 psi on cyl 1, 2, and 3, Cyl 4 gave 150psi.
When I first bought it, the tranny was slipping and would hardly shift to 2nd.
I replaced it with a good working tranny, So Mechanically, It is good to go.
I was thinking about doing a suspension restoration when the money is right.
