Rollininstyle2004's New Daily Project BOB (Balla on a Budget) 56k HAHA

[carbongs]

My buddy Jordan aka Rollininstyle2004 got a new daily recently. It isn’t anything special just a 2001 Honda Accord LX with 30k on the odometer! We got a little crazy with it as you will see in this thread. The exterior is not meant to be taken seriously at all. We did use this car as a test and tune for us on our suede and mdf skills. So, come along as we try to make Jordan’s Accord unique on a BOB (Balla on a Budget) budget.



We started with the maintenance items.



Seafoamed the car

[eraser4g63]

[Crazy Asian]

wow. holy craziness.

[carbongs]

seriously man great job, car look 1000x better! the only other thing i'd do is take off that sticker on your windshield... but other than that :goodjob:

Jordan is a new member of the International AllStars but due to an unfortunate happening he lost his show car. So, for now he is using his daily to help promote and support the team. So, the sticker stays :goodjob:

But if you are talking about that little sticker on the rear windshield please help because it has been on the car for who knows how long and has become brittle. I am scared to take it off. I am afraid I'll ruin the defrosting lines.

[eraser4g63]

yup one side has a loom of wires along side it.
Ahh, Ok I retract my previous misconception and replace it with the bigger slot having function, Thanks.

[NVEOUS]

Dude that is awesome. Great job on the suede linning and all as well. Reps to you for doing the work yourself and doing such a great job.

[5thgcelica]

[rollininstyle2004]

just hope that heat shield doesnt catch on fire.

I just got the suede from Joann's. I bought 6 yards and it was just enough to do all 4 door panels, all the pillars, the rear deck, armrest, and the headliner with a little to spare for mess ups.

[PreludeVTEC01]

suede looks great. Did you guys reinstall the backseat or make some sort of delete?

[slostang]

damn. i did seafoam on my teg the other day and that shit didnt do that to mine! lol. did i do somethign wrong lol.

[hondakid2]

[VooDooXII]

After seeing that Volkswagen, I know I'd see some interesting stuff even for an Accord...haha I like the suede.

[rollininstyle2004]

The rear seat is going back in, the sound deadening isnt finished yet, so that is why its still out.

After seeing that Volkswagen, I know I'd see some interesting stuff even for an Accord...haha I like the suede.

Dont expect anything too crazy out of this one. Trying to keep this one on a SMALL budget ;)

[WTF?]

looks good that trunk came out pretty cool and i love what you did with the interior

[Mr. Clean]

that was a hella day of work lol. only complaint is the rubber strips on the doors. i hate that shit lol.

[2turbo4u]

Alot of work for a daily driver, I liked your Passat.

[Jason..]

Rica-a-roniiiiiii

[NickD70s]

hell right good build guys

[5thgcelica]

I just got the suede from Joann's. I bought 6 yards and it was just enough to do all 4 door panels, all the pillars, the rear deck, armrest, and the headliner with a little to spare for mess ups.


cool, thanks man.

[DynamicSound]

Not bad at all. Minus the twist caps to connect the wires for the radio.

[G.C]

man your amazing. very nice job.

[Prime.]

yeah, i was kinda impressed until I saw the wire nuts on the harness install. Overall though looks good for a daily.

Jordan is a new member of the International AllStars but due to an unfortunate happening he lost his show car. So, for now he is using his daily to help promote and support the team. So, the sticker stays :goodjob:

Why he lose the car?

[Dirty Octopus™]

that was pretty INTENSE! :eek:

Haha I feel you...ballin' on a budget. The suede is definitely a very nice touch though.

don't worry i ran out of solder and i need a new soldering iron :goodjob: that will be addressed as soon as i get those things :cheers: gotta use what we had.

Crimp caps are the best thing. Must faster/easier than soldering, but just as effective.

[IndianStig]

Would look good with some wheels but not bad so far. One gripe....i can't have that big an audio setup in a daily...gotta have trunk room.

[ironchef]

Yea what happened to the Passat?

But if you are talking about that little sticker on the rear windshield please help because it has been on the car for who knows how long and has become brittle. I am scared to take it off. I am afraid I'll ruin the defrosting lines.

Go to auto zone and get enough adhesive remover to soak a rag really well and hold it to the sticker until it softens. Then use a plastic razor blade and it should scrap off like jelly.

yea i mean there is no harm in keeping those there. it is just what i had at the time. i like to solder and shrink wrap. it is much cleaner imo. the caps are kinda bulky. more room saved behind the head unit the cooler it can operate.

those came on the car and after some testing they aren't gonna come off since they were installed with 3m tape and it is a different color under there with all the sunfade.

[Nittanys1]

Starting out how I did with my car! Its looking good guys! You should have sound detioning material on the roof while you had the headliner down.

[MachNU]

so what happened to the passat?

[VooDooXII]

The sound deadener didnt make it on time...it wasnt supposed to get to me until June 1st and I was leaving on the 30th so we put the car back together. Then of course, it came on the 29th so we did a little bit. Given this setup though the roof is not high on my priority list for deadening.

[rollininstyle2004]

that was a hella day of work lol. only complaint is the rubber strips on the doors. i hate that shit lol.

You and me both...

Also it was more than one days work for those who mentioned it being a lot in a day ;)

[Nittanys1]

IC, well if you have any Qs about the accord let me know!

[Nittanys1]

Will do man, I read your DIY, actually found it AFTER I did everything haha, but I ran out of time basically to get the visors done. I had to put the car back together before I left for NY. Ill probably tackle them when I get back in August.

[Nittanys1]

mst? :lmfao: lol bro just playing with ya


DAMN that one was my fault ;) I missed the u when typing!

Cool, just make sure to remove a few parts on the visor before starting AND try to keep the original cloth as intact as possible! It makes it SOOO much easier as you have a template to trace.

Did you remove the original headliner cloth along with the foam?

[Sammich]

A WHOLE LOT OF WORK IN ONE DAY..GOOD JOB. I LIKE THAT KRYLON PAINT TOO

[Nittanys1]

^ they didnt do that all in one day...

[rollininstyle2004]

Did you remove the original headliner cloth along with the foam?

Nope, I did it over the factory liner. I felt that it would provide a stronger bond soaking the factory headliner with the adhesive. I used an entire can of Super 90 on the headliner even though 3M says it works for 65ft^2 ;)

[Nittanys1]

eww you might run into sagging later....i dunno tho.

[VooDooXII]

when it is the right time he will let you know

Oh no.

He turned it into an Autobot.

[rollininstyle2004]

eww you might run into sagging later....i dunno tho.

Trust me, I did a TON of research, the bond between the OEM Fabric and this fabric is stronger than the bond would have been between the cardboard headliner and the suede. The only way its going to sag is if the OEM headliner starts to separate from the cardboard, because there is no way the suede is coming apart from the OEM stuff. Super 90 is good up to 160 degrees and I used like 5 times the recommended amount. Its not going anywhere. Besides, headliners are supposed to be foam backed, and this material did not have any foam backing so putting it directly on the cardboard would have been the worst idea...

[Nittanys1]

Doh! Suxs for me....

[rollininstyle2004]

Doh! Suxs for me....

As long as you used enough adhesive im sure you're fine.

[Nittanys1]

yeah, i think so too however I would have loved to have the roof have the padding to it...I was just worried that it would sag if i didnt take it off. O'well I'll know next time i do this! hey what about the other models that have vinyl on the roof?

[rollininstyle2004]

You can buy headliner backing at any fabric store. Its basically just foam, or buy any headliner material then overlay this on top. However that was just too many layers for me, and I figured I might as well just use the OEM stuff since I knew it would stick to that. Same concept as with the door panels. Its just an overlay over the stock cloth. You let the stock stuff absorb A LOT of adhesive so it provides a very strong bond.

[Nittanys1]

ic, I dont want to deal with taking that headliner down again...it was a PITA doing it alone!

[rollininstyle2004]

ic, I dont want to deal with taking that headliner down again...it was a PITA doing it alone!

Yea, I tried to put it back up by myself when I finished it since I was so anxious to get it back in the car. That didnt work to well. LOL. I left it draped over the seats waiting for Tony to get back the next day. :doh:

[Nittanys1]

hahaha, man the sunroof part was the worst! I cut my hands and fingers all up from the sharp metal tracks and it took me about an hour to get it back in there!

[rollininstyle2004]

Glad I dont have a sunroof then :D

[Nittanys1]

well when it comes to having to suede the headliner yes, but on a fall night its nice to open it and look at the stars while driving. I say fall because that is my favorite season ;) so you could always sub fall with whatever season is your favorite!

[Nittanys1]

ohh where did you get your suede?

[rollininstyle2004]

ohh where did you get your suede?

Joanns. Regularly $23/yd, but I had a 40% off coupon, so it came out to be $13.80/yd. Which isnt bad considering I didnt have to pay shipping or wait for it.
