my almost fully restored 86 civic Si
its been a 10 month long process and i will be finished in about a month. the entire resto can be seen here http://www.redpepperracing.com...29910
here are some pics of what i went through
thats my buddy jay getting the nose ready for the brand new NOS bulkhead.
the last pass. rocker panel in the US
NOS carpet
all new lights
my vintage and very rare list of accessories
sunroof bag and staps
moonroof visor
fogs
cargo shelf
JDM F-1 steering wheel
JDM power windows
brand new OEM wing
brand new in the box 90-91 CRX Si buckets
and the rust
sand blasted the **** out of this car
stripped to nothing
lots of patches
rocker panel ready for welding
the finished trunk floor
and the interior floor
suspension was sandblasted and paint with epoxy chassis paint
YS1 trans
the bay
the motor
as it sits now the dash is in and the motor is running. it just needs minor body work and the outside painted. i want to be ready for Honda day aug 11.

Re: (miyagi)
i hate you, but you already know that...
so when can i drop off my car?
i wish i could do work like that, but i don't know how to weld, or paint.. but i can turn wrenches. so one day, hopefully soon, i'll be able to strip mine down myself, and then i'll have to take it to someone..

Re: my almost fully restored 86 civic Si (86si)
lovely seats... where did you source those from?
wouldn't it have been slightly easier to source a better conditioned chassis from california to give yourself a little head start?
Do you have reference for inspection marks?

trust me i thought about it. its easier said than done to find a clean chassis. and u
never know what your getting. atleast i knew i had a rusted POS
. now that the rust repair is over i don't regret it one bit. i learned a whole lot about body work and how the cars body is built. i bought the seats from vintage parts in wisconsin. being i work for a honda dealer i have access to vintage parts.inspection marks???

Re: my almost fully restored 86 civic Si (86si)
this reminds of that resto in the 2nd gen crx section.
you even sandblasted the chassis???
if you dont mind me asking, whos doing that body work?
possibly a place you would reccomend? (im looking for a new york body shop that respects imports and does good work)
great build man, thanks for sharing.

thank u. i did all of the sheet metal and welding. except the bulkhead. i painted the interior myself with single stage. it was my first time with a gun and i was very happy with the results. my buddy will be doing the exterior body work and he painted the engine bay/bulkhead. he does awesome work.
i really don't know of any shops that do work like this. i mean its hard to find someone that will put as much passion and effort into a car that is not theirs.

Re: my almost fully restored 86 civic Si (86si)
we're gonna have a diversion going forward... this is really a street rod type resto not OEM stock resortation. niether is better or more important, but we can not rule out the completely stock restoration
