What you planning to do with the mini fat five rims? would you like to sell them??

 

I stuck em on another civic and sold it. Sorry. They do look exactly like fat fives though :D



And bpotter05, you've got get em on ebay or a junk yard/online somewhere. Generic answer but thats the truth.

 

Yeah I bought one off craiglists to replace my ripped one but it's still wrinkled. I guess wrinkled is better than ripped tho!

 

OH, Hai! I"m not dead, nor is Jelly or anybody else. I did have some wisdom teeth pulled. My dumb got dumberer synce ten...

Kiddings of course. OK, forget everything your just read.
----------------------------_

No work on Jelly. I've done exactly what I did NOT want to do, which was stop working on jelly and start working on my Integra again. BUT, good news! Shes running beautifully and I'm boosting around my town like a bawss

Something did happen that concerns Jelly though: I stripped my blue wheels.

Before:


After:


If you remember (I'll refresh your memory if you don't) I was going to strip these wheels, paint em white with the polished lip, and stick em on Jelly when I got her painted. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT... They look so damn good on my Integra! I'm seriously contemplating keeping them on Aeris and the bronze C8's on Jelly.

We shall see.

Fortunately, I'm making serious progress on my GSR and its starting to get warm so I'll be back on jelly, hopefully next month. We shall see.

Anyway, Enj0y teh update!

 

looks great man!

 

Keep up the great work and updates! I love reading this thread.

 

Just wanna update and say that their isn't anything to update xD

I'm hoping to get back on Jelly's body work this month. My life has been incredibly busy and just no time to work on her

But when I start back, she'll be done soon

 

I haven't been on H-T much lately, but it was nice to see your progress over the past few months, I always enjoy checking in periodically. You inspire me to start another project, but first, I need a house so I'll have space to work! And maybe some extra cash.

 

get to it man. haha wanna see this thing in paint. i remember this from when u first started and i had a honda, let it go awhile ago now pickin up a sol tonight. good luck and get it done.

 

This is my first time seeing this thread (I'm new) it looks like you've done a ton with that car. I know exactly how much of a pain bodywork is, so great job! Also, I know it was a few sets back, but the EX wheels looked great on Jelly, and are exactly what I'm going to set my sights on - thanks for the inspiration!

 

nice work keep up the good work

 

Ha, thanks guys.

I've just been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo busy, its redonkulous. In addition to just having all sorts of stuff goin on (all good things, nothin bad) I've had wisdom teeths pulled and braces put on so I've been semi down from that.

The next 2 weeks are super busy for me, but it slows down after that and I can get back to working on Jelly and get that done. Speaking of her, I think her power steering pump is starting to die. Been whining pretty bad in the mornings when its cold. No bueno but it is what it is.

Anyway, I shall update when I get work done!

And just cause you guys are so nice, heres what I have been working on (my turbo Teg). This is a lil video comparison of what I've been doin with it.

If you watch em, do it IN ORDER!

Improvements, yes? Boy shes a lot of fun to drive :D

 

Was your cruise through royal carribean? what ship were you on?

Ive been to those forts, just this past december. Awesome stuff, iguanas are sweet.

 

This thread is awesome!

 

Good job on the Del Sol! I can see it's coming along very well. Also great job on the corner panel. In time it will be all done you just got to be patient. Great job so far and can't wait to see the final results of the Del Sol. Good Luck!

Happy Tuning!

 

Yep, Royal C. and the ship was Sovereign of the Seas. Very awesome stuff. ROyal C. is a cery good cruise line and I highly recommend them.
-------------------------
I'm glad you guys like my lil build thread! I've spent a couple hours updating the first page with links to specific nifty stuff that has happened on each page of my build thread, so be sure to check that out because I did it for you :D

Actually, I did it for me too, but whatever xD

 

Looks good man keep the updates coming

 

I was on the Navigator of the Seas, went on an 8 day cruise to St Kitts, St Maarten, San Juan, and Labadee, Haiti. Definitely one of the coolest experiences ive ever had.

Oh, nice sol

 

OK guys and gals... I've given myself a deadline to get jellybean done:

Saturday, July 21.

Why this specific day? I have some firends that are leaving the country to go to Costa Rica for 3 months. He mentioned that maybe Jelly (yes, my friends know the names of each of my cars xD) would be painted when he got back.
I told em it would.



Sooooooooooooo... Thats my deadline. This weekend is gone as I've got a wedding to go to, but next week I should be ready to go at it again.

Lets do this...

 

i joined not too long ago and saw this and yea u got the sol for a hell of a deal. mine cost me 400 and it doesnt even run yet... sweet progress

 

Bro I like this thread. Can't wait to see Jellybeans final product.

 

ive read this thread from start to right now its a great find and great project I can't wait to see how jellybean turns out when its done

 

Well... It began.. again :p Worked on Jelly for a couple hours. Got a hold of my in laws flat sander thingy and man, it does wonders. Just have to buy some more sanding pads for it. But with it, I really think I'll be able to get that quarter panel pretty straight.

Anyways, here's pictarz!



Teh uber machine.


lookin better.





And don't forget, this is what Jellybean looked like when I got her.


So, shes improving... Slowly :p But basically, if I wet sanded and sprayed the car tomorrow, it would look better than when I started :D

I'm going to buy some lacquer thinner to mix in with my primer sometime this week. On Friday I'll be hitting Jelly again, this time working only a lil bit on the evil panel (henceforth the bad quarter panel shall be referred to as evil panel). My goal is to have, at least, the passenger side resanded and prepped for primer. If I got the front bumper/hood, that would be even greater but I'm aiming low.

So she'll start turning gray pretty soon! With an even coat of primer, I'll be better able to spot imperfections

Enj0y!

 

Nice man keep it up!!

 

Nice work. Samba green is my favorite color on a del sol. I'll be using this as a guide for my quarter panel
