New CYM R1 Owner

Hello Guys,
Not new to the forum but I am a new owner of a CYM R1. 109k on the clock with an engine rebuild about 80k miles ago. My goals are to build the foundation of the car first, then make power later. Regular maintenance stuff, go over all the wear parts (bushings, bearings, etc.), and get the interior completely refurbished. The interior is no terrible but it's not 100% either. I'm missing the middle panel that goes directly behind the seats and also the rear carpet. Then the interior panel rattles drive me crazy. Doesn't help that the Baltimore/DC area have SUPER crappy roads. I have a bunch of research to do on all these fixes. Oh and somebody rolled the fenders and cracked all the fender lips. The whole car needs a respray anyway but no telling how much that will run. Happy to be in the FD community.

Welcome to the forum
All these CYM guys keep tabs on each other Welcome to the circle jerk!

All jokes aside, you're very fortunate to have gotten into a CYM, welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy the car!

It's got decent bones. But it's got a faded hatch, roof and side mirrors. Going to start budgeting for a respray. Just going to do a full repaint with jambs. I may pull the engine for a cleaning and respray too.
