Hondaboy4lifes build - rhd/tuck/respray
Welcome to my build. I'm sure there will be some hate, and some positive feedback, but i guess thats expected because this is honda-tech.
The story - In the beginning of this winter i spun my car in the first snow storm and put the car away for the winter. Over the winter i redid my garage and preparred it to do a serious rebuild. For my senior project i have decided to convert my car to right hand drive. I know some people like it and some people hate it, but i wanted to do something that would be a challenge for me, and that would grab peoples attention at my school so i dont present my project to like 2 janitors who have to attend the presentation. I also decided that i would do some wire tucking and clean up the body and give it a respray at the same time. My senior project officially starts in May, but i figured i could use a headstart.
I will try to keep the thread as up to date as i can, and post as many pictures as i can. Well, here it goes...
EDIT: theres pretty much pictures on every page.

so, for your "senior project", are you building this car for yourself or people at the school. Or its like represent thing? Im not hating, dont worry, and i will be watching this thread. Good luck
It's for myself and a presentation. I was planning on painting my car anyways, and always had the thought of converting my car in the back of head, then once the senior project came closer and i was thinking of things to do i thought this was perfect. My school has an option. You can either take the month of May off and work on a senior project then present it at the end of the month, or you can stay and attend classes
I've been working on it the past few days a little at a time, so here's what i've done so far...
removed back and passenger seat


removed rear 1/4 trim pieces


pile of parts

hehe, yup. I'm looking into how im going to fix it right now. Its just surface so i think im just going to sand it down. The other side has a little more, so i may just replace the whole rear 1/4. I am having a friend come over that works in a body shop, and he is going to tell me what i should do/take a look at it.
