Mr. Projekt · 07-09-2007, 02:09 PM

The work is amazing. Great job.

miyagi · 07-09-2007, 02:18 PM

wow

this is amazing.

I wish i had the patience to do it ... i'd love to restore something like this ... and it's all motor and fast to boot. great work!

E-AT_me · 07-09-2007, 06:07 PM

i hate you, but you already know that...

so when can i drop off my car?

i wish i could do work like that, but i don't know how to weld, or paint.. but i can turn wrenches. so one day, hopefully soon, i'll be able to strip mine down myself, and then i'll have to take it to someone..

Kenso · 07-09-2007, 06:17 PM

Nice workmanship, I like your attention to detail! Hard to believe some of the rare parts you were able to find, must've taken some time.

NIKE SB'd · 07-09-2007, 07:50 PM

Man seriously this is like the 4th time I've looked at this thread today. I am still in shock. You basically have a NOS CAR lol.

Another reason I will be going .

Great work , hope to see it there .

MSchu · 07-10-2007, 06:09 AM

lovely seats... where did you source those from?

wouldn't it have been slightly easier to source a better conditioned chassis from california to give yourself a little head start?

Do you have reference for inspection marks?

trust me i thought about it. its easier said than done to find a clean chassis. and u
never know what your getting. atleast i knew i had a rusted POS

. now that the rust repair is over i don't regret it one bit. i learned a whole lot about body work and how the cars body is built. i bought the seats from vintage parts in wisconsin. being i work for a honda dealer i have access to vintage parts.

inspection marks???

dinko · 07-10-2007, 07:05 AM

omg those "new" parts must have cost you a fortune!

86si · 07-10-2007, 07:27 AM

couple shots before the resto. all the trim will be black like originally when its finished.

btw it was over 500whp in these pics with a 10pt cage...

and my wife and son who have put up with me and my cars for years. they love this car too.

doublethink · 07-10-2007, 08:28 AM

this reminds of that resto in the 2nd gen crx section.

you even sandblasted the chassis???

if you dont mind me asking, whos doing that body work?

possibly a place you would reccomend? (im looking for a new york body shop that respects imports and does good work)

great build man, thanks for sharing.

thank u. i did all of the sheet metal and welding. except the bulkhead. i painted the interior myself with single stage. it was my first time with a gun and i was very happy with the results. my buddy will be doing the exterior body work and he painted the engine bay/bulkhead. he does awesome work.

i really don't know of any shops that do work like this. i mean its hard to find someone that will put as much passion and effort into a car that is not theirs.

MSchu · 07-10-2007, 08:47 AM

we're gonna have a diversion going forward... this is really a street rod type resto not OEM stock resortation. niether is better or more important, but we can not rule out the completely stock restoration

86si · 07-10-2007, 08:53 AM

other than the seats the entire car will appear stock. until u get a look under the hood and suspension. i just have to have an engine with power. and what better than an itr internal b18c

86si · 07-10-2007, 06:58 PM

how she sits tonight. i took these pics while enjoying a few summer ale's
