Took about 5 hours to do but I'm happy with the results. Also sea foamed it, cleaned k&n drop in, welded broken bracket (was rattling @ 3500rpm), started stripping valve cover for paint, and cleaned parts of the bay.
Before





After





There was some curb rash from the previous owner along with some chipping that I couldnt get off, but for now its ok.

Good Stuff


Paint for valve cover

 

Picked up some small things.
New sunroof bracket.


New Emblems from Honda.



Shocker FTW, they were cheap so I said why not. 2 white, 1 silver, 1 gold.

 

haha I figured someone would say that, I probably wont, maybe on the spark plug cover or something, I got all 4 for 3 bucks so I couldn't complain

 

McDonalds doesnt deliver

 

A new pic of the rims

 

car needs kemo treatments ASAP

 

Just as a head's up, sandblasting alloys weakens the metal. Chemically stripping them, does not.

 

I used baking soda so not too much harm done.

 

so much better. now take car of that rust.

 

Thanks, Rust will be fixed very soon.

 

Nice, what are your plans after that?

 

New exhaust/header, clean up motor(residue from winter(last owner)), Rotas of some kind(im cheap) JDM center console, Corners, Fogs, Side Markers, and CF Lips with a Duck bill. As for motor probably go small turbo and run low boost daily. This is all after body work and paint.

 

Looks better than before. I would run OEM lug nuts with those VX's. How much does it cost btw?

 

Thanks, I was thinking some extended blues but oem ones would be ok too I guess. My neighbor had the blaster so it only cost me the price of the baking soda.

 

The VX wheels should have a ball-seat for the lug nuts. Aftermarket lug nuts are typically conical-seat. You're running a safety risk by using aftermarket lug nuts.

 

check with JLB Motorsports, they make colored oem replacements. They are a vender on here.

 

As I stated above I was looking at picking some up, the ones I'm using now are coned.
Thanks, I'll def. look into them.

 

id leave the stickers off the car completely, nothing really shocking about this vehicle, unless it has a clean title.

 

WTF, why wouldn't it have a clean title? And what would having a clean title have to do with putting stickers on it?

 

moreeeeeeeeee

 

Only pics I have updated are from the same set but here are some anyway.



Yes I did put that shocker sticker on


Found out that a local shop wants 4-5k for rust fix, dents, and paint...Might have to hold off until after winter to find a better price.

 

Progress is looking stellar, but if you put those stickers on then I will lose all respect for you.

 

Ugh.. just saw it...

Not only did you use the sticker, but you used it on the body of the car. Horrible.

take the sticker off and the car will be 100x better.
or wait till you get pulled over by a female cop that has taken offense to your sticker. I hope she gives you a ticket for offending the public.

 

shocker stickers are so immature =/.

-Mom.. what is that sticker on your bumper?

-Son... its when you stick to fingers in a vagina and one in the poop shoot.
