Just after I picked it up.

Shaved emblems, washer squirter, body seams, bumper step

Shaved moldings, handles, locks, antenna, body seams. I need to adjust the back door and gas door so they sit flush.

This is just the primer. In a few months, I am going to get it painted. I still want to shave the bodyline off of the tailgate and try and smooth out the moldings in the bumpers a little bit. I am pretty happy with it for now though.

I do want to keep it red, but I also really would like it burgundy too. I would love my car to look like the one below with a little bit more subtle wheels.

I took down the burgundy accord so I don't go over my bandwidth.

I traded my wheels for the bodywork, so basically I paid $2500 for all the work. It was a lot more work than the Prelude and we paid almost $3000 for the prelude.

He looks to of done a hell of a job on the body work. Looks flawless. I would really like to see it with paint and real wheels though. The primer looks pink and it kind of kills the whole look.

It really is red though. In real life I think it looks a little bit more orange than pink.
I didn't even notice the pink in the pictures until you said something.

Wheels will be after the paint and air bags. Even though I really want them now. I see no reason to put wheels on it when I could spend the money on paint, unless I find a smokin' deal on some.

I kind of want 18s in front and 19s in back but I will probably just stick with 18s all around. The price difference between 18s and 19s is huge.

Thanks everybody.

I took it to the outlet malls today and while I was in the Fila store and it was parked outside the employees of the store were all talking about it and one by one they all went outside and checked it out. I think that is pretty cool considering it is only in primer. For some reason people really like wagons. I get compliments constantly on it, even before the bodywork.

I dont care how great the body work is, running around on a primered car is CHEAP and ghetto.

I do like mine with no shine. As long as it isn't rattle can primer. That is ghetto. I spent more money on my primer than some people do on complete paint jobs.

beautiful. i have always thought of shaving the handles and using modified push buttons from an old.... Buick, or was it Lincoln that used those? hiding the buttons would be cool too.
