My color :x :lol:

my back seat is just a fleece blacket lol


UPDATES!!!

After alot of test fitting, adjusting, brain storming, and failure....the skid plate build is off. I just couldnt get it positioned correctly where it would line up with the mounting points and on top of that, when its in place it would pretty much be sitting on the ground. and I would really hate to be driving down the road, hit a dip or something, and have a massive steel plate smashed up into the oilpan/tranny/header, brake something major, or worse yet get ripped off and hit a car behind me :lol:

Ive been driving the sedan for the past couple weeks while i collect a few parts and get the coupe ready for some work.

PARTS

Image

both quarters and rockers from Fix My Rust :thumb:

parts from the Honda dealer
shift linkage rod
tranny splash shield
shifter dust seal
and the shifter ball seat. which for some reason my coupe is missing :?
should shift like new! :thumb:

other parts waiting to go on are...
a pair of factory front upper control arms to replace the ebay camber kits that are starting to crack.

a driverside spindle to replace the current one that has a bad wheel bearing.

my shaved cam cover that im going to paint something other than black.

and an oil pan gasket


then after all thats done ill give her a fresh coat of paint and hopefully a new set of wheels. something that really stands out. either than or get some spacers for the 13s to fill the gap up a little

:thumb:

actually its going to be Krylon spray cans for the color and whatever i can find in satin clear to be sprayed with a gun. not the kind of wax it buff it clear just something to seal the color in and keep it from fading
