Hi every one .
First thing i would like to ask is that all JDM/OEM look lowers to give me a chance ... im not trying to make a Ricer out of my Prelude lol ... The rear panels were so rusty that i decidet to cut out that rust and do some thing special and unique . After all the car is mine and i can do what ever i want with it
Im saying all this because i got attacked in some other forum wright after my first post where i presented my idea .

Ok off we go ... first a Photoshoped image of what i wanted it to look like .
The bumper turned out a bit diferend than i wanted

Ohh and by the way sory for my english im from EU and its not my first language.

 

so how it all started ...
rear panels were tu rusty to repair lol

 

im not a pro ... but this is not gona be a fiberglas body kit that might crack or fall off after a year or two .
Just a few pic before i put ALU bondo on my creation lol

 

If you keep it to the rendered photo it's going to look great, not riced out but pretty clean. Great start so far!

 

After the metal work and lots and lots of hamering ... i used some thing that should prevent rust you can see it on one of the pic where metal turned purple/violet idk lol
then came the ALU bondo that turns rock solid after a few hours ( you need to sand it off after 20-30 min other wise you will use to much sand paper and time to get the shape you want ) ... after that a regular bondo filler ...

 

Thanks Im trying to stick to the plan ... this is my second Prelude and the first one was completly OEM and clean as it can be . I do love clean cars but this time i im trying some thing new

 

and .... after all hamering and sanding ... comes some thing caled "Poliester" its not 2K primer but its like bondo filler that you put on with a spray gun ...
then eaven more sanding before primer ...

 

Thats it for tooday ... will see after a feedback if i should continiue posting

 

A lot of work. Looks quality. The only thing IMO that I dont like, is that you're going to have front and rear open side strakes. Having one of them smoothed to the inner bodyline would look better IMO. Either way, make sure you come up with an air flow solution or you will have massive drag in the rear.

how wide of wheels are you choosing?

 

Yes i know i do have that drag in mind ... first thing was just to finish the body and stick with the design . Im planing to make some thing to put in to that holes lol idk how to explain ... but it will be under angle going in to the body and the intake will narow when going further in and behinde will be a mesh ... so its not gona stay like this .
I just didnt figured out how i will make that ... its hard to make parts from scratch .

 

This is going to be awesome.

Keep at it!

 

looks like a lot of work but it actually doesn't look too bad. keep it up

 

your car, do as you want. looks like your off to a great start.

 

i like it looks really good so far....going with silver as your orignal pic?

 

looks like good quality stuff...i think the drawing look awesome.....and i was never into kits n all

 

Thank you all

Nope im gona go with perl white and matte black

will post more pic when i come back from work ...

 

In for this. Looks like you have something awesome in mind. I'm not a huge fan of wide bodys, but this one looks promising!

 

Props for coming up with an idea and following through with it, and extra props for being original!

 

Looks pretty sweet. Don't see a lot with this much work where I'm from.

 

Thanks again for a good feedback
so after 6 months or so i finished the body work and put the whole car in primer and parked in some parking house during winter last year beacuse of some space problems ...
Some pic are from this sumer and new garage wright before it went to another winter sleap lol
there where you see some black and white shades its becuase i allready painted the inside of the dors and body with base coat so i wont have to take the dors off again when the car goes to paint next sumer ... same with the hood and engine bay

 

ohh before it went to a winter sleap last year i took the engine out ...

 

ohh and front right side was mesed up previuse owner had a litle acident .... so from repairing it and welding and making it smooth it went to cleaning the seals all around and welding all seams making all some kinde of " shawed " engine bay ... but i decidet not to go with a complete shawed off bay coz i want AC and ABS and all that **** lol

 

look nice

 

during last winter had time to play with head , intake m. and other parts ...
first i jumped on the head ...idk if i will do some thing like this again lol

In this home made " port & polish " is close to 2 months of work

 

its like all that grinding and making all smooth was not enough ...
One friend saw me do it and just said that im NUTZ idk maybe i am lmao
