im pretty sure that this isnt the end of the thread
yea... i didn't mean it like that, i mean the end for now my bad.
oh when people clean the entire cassis like that they usually make a roticery out of 2 engine stands so its easy to sand blast/ scrub and paint
Thanks guys for the props. Unfortunately I don't have access to things like sand blasting equipment or a rotissaree to flip the car to work the undercarriage, so I do the best with what I got :cheers:
As far as my job I work at the airport :yes:
(BTW: Anyone know who drives the red (on red GT3's) or white EK or the white EG that is parked in the Delta lot??)
So, I've been busy working and spending time with the family, so no work don lately. I did receive some more parts.....

I've got to get the suspension finished up so I can put the rollers on and get her out to paint. Looks like she'll be going down to Cental FL for body work and paint. Oh well, got to be done. Then it will be time to install the motor and everything else......

Yes. Usually parked right next to each other. The red one is on red GT3's. Both are very nice looking. There is also a white EG in the lot now w/ black or c/f hood and exhaust on dark wheels :cheers:Quote:

Hope to have her back here by the middle of August. That gives me a month to get the car back together :cheers:
Going to be ordering some more parts this week. I'll post pics as they arrive.
Thanks again to all for the props. I promise to go all out with detail once the K swap work starts :camera:
:police:
me want update :'(
damn. i just read thiiiisss whoooole thread!!!. worth every minute of it. the work is so detailed and amzing. one thing that sucks major ballz is that we gunna have to wait till middle of august!!!. +1000000000 for everythings you have done so far.
Ahhh So good i may read it again...I will let you know when i finish.
You have put a great amount of time and detail into this project. I am not a honda fan, but I am anxiously waiting to see the outcome of your project. I hope it turns out as well as i am thinking it will.
what is your plan for wheels. i cant remember if you had said
you sir are the shit. you kno you will never be able to sell this after all you have put into it. and if you do it will never be worth it. +1 because your work is amazing.
Wow, you guys are awesome with the feedback. Makes me want to put even more work and effort into her :goodjob:
So, I'm past due for some updates with the project. I'm putting the front and rear end back on so she can roll out to paint in Central Florida this weekend. My bro and his buddy are saying 3 weeks and she'll be back in my hands. That will give me approximately 3 weeks to drop the motor, wire her up, install interior, and have her tuned...... Going to be on a tight schedule but I plan to have her parked in the Brown section at the Nopi Nationals :cheers: :goodjob: :welcome:
I present Session 033:
Picked up some new rear camber bolts. I still need to get some washers to shorten her up. Probably throw one washer (approx. 1/2 degree) underneath for some camber correction.
