Default Before and after pics of my EH Hatch...huge change (56K....LOL)

Before
bought that car as it sat, like listed below. it ran, but not sure how. TPS, Map Sensor, VSS, Knock Sensor, and Vtec were not wired at all. No Torque mounts at all, missing 2 bolts on rear motor mount, and overspray from the flat black spraypaint on all the windows. basically all that was done was motor was dropped in. at least how it seemed.

as i started sanding, the factory paint was not prepped, he just spraypainted right over the factory aztec green pearl.



After

so after many many hours of wetsanding, 6 hours of buffing, she is at her present state. and remember... all this was done in a 7 month time period. bought it in May, and just got it to were she is somewhat presentable. Enjoy

These people don't realize how much work this was to make the paint look like this....There was probably at least 200+ hours just put into the sanding alone to make it green, not to mention the buffing too.
I still cant believe I actually rode in that car when you first bought it, knowing what is known now I don't think I would have. LOL
Can't wait to see what is in store for it next (boost?!?!) it should be good fun
